			<description><![CDATA[ Dear Toni
<br>
You remember I posted a fun poem about Christmas and you commented about&#39; liveried men?&#39; I did not reply because all that you said is true,and I used
it in the same sense as you deduced. Now it is there because I submitted it in a fit of midnight madness,and somebody posted the link in my group.
<br>

Thanks.It does feel good,because it is years since I have submitted to journals and online... ]]></description>

<br>
I have made the Marathon, every single day.(sorry I did not critique for the past two or three days.)I was busy with my own reading.Thank you all for cheering
me up and your comments,which kept me going.I do not want to continue in December,because I have a group which I moderate and I have been quite selfish.

Turkey Day Triolet</span>
<br>
<br>
Does eating turkey make you want to sleep?
<br>
Why is Thanksgiving dinner soporific?
<br>
Some theorize that tryptophan can keep
<br>
you calm, content, and make you want to sleep.
<br>
But scientists say that it would take a heap
<br>
to cause postprandial stupors so specific.

			<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for all of your good wishes. The reading was a great success. I really enjoyed reading and the audience was so responsive. I heard small sighs and
chuckles and, at the end of one piece, a woman couldn&#39;t resist clapping softly. I wish I could say for sure which poem that was. I think it was
&quot;Lunatic Blues.&quot;

<br>
The reading was in conjunction with an art exhibit in Richmond, Vermont, so we were surrounded by art. And the theme of the exhibit was the future of... ]]></description>
