1 - you respond to a comment with: " Kelly Kurt(2/13/2020 10: 46: 00 AM) I only write when 'inspiration' strikes.

What I like about you Kelly, you write poetry when you feel icclined by inspiration, a humble quality that I do admire, and by doing so...your poems are fresh and very much appreciated

Thank you, Bill. I would like inspiration to strike more often, but it's a fickle thing.
