Nice group of poems, Phil. And I like the biographical note, too.  Did not realize that you play chess.  Cool.

Do you play chess Dave?

I'm always pleased to visit your published works. Congratulations (again)! And keep up the great work!

Thanks Tony. I've written a lot this year and quantity reduces quality, but my excuse is I enjoy writing. Besides it is practice and, sometimes, I find something. I like discovery. Writer as prospector⛏️🤔
