...but I do know this, poetry is a magical addition to life. It lifts the soul with words better than a song lyric. It activates the imagination with colors and sounds. It stimulates the intellect with astounding turns of phrase. Poetry is a quiet giver, deserving of love and respect ... JO Janoski

Love the black and white picaso photo. Your tanka nicely done!
I wrote a cinquian about a bull, but I lost it when my computer burned.
I think they ought to give the bull the knives... then we'd see how many 'brave' toreadors we have. Nice one, Jo...
Yea, I'm rooting for the bull.
Easy fellas, it's just a picture.
Hey Jo, you really know how to rile these fellas lol. Great poem!
Nice work Jo. I think the knifes kind of balance out the horns; but perhaps we do away with the cape (no distractions).
