Wonderful images in this! Very tight and precise poem. Nicely done, Joanne. :)
ReplyDeleteAnother first class poem, Joanne!

These words resonate with me: "Make room for ultra-lite." There's something very clever and somewhat paradoxical in your word pairings and this phrase. I love it.
ReplyDelete'hauled to attic'....atta girl...just in case that new fangled ultra light advanced technology doesn't last through another ten year adventure. I'm so amazed that you say and paint such a detailed picture in so few words.
