Well, Tom, that was only a brief foray. I haven't tried poetry of any kind for years. I remember when I was a teen. I had discovered the word "gallant." I thought it meant beautiful. So I composed 16 stanzas of 4 lines each of my "epic" ballad. In it I referred to my heroine as "gallant" when I meant she was beautiful. Aren't all heroines beautiful? LOL

I showed it to Mom, who immediately laughed AT it. She told me what gallant really meant. When Mom laughed At me, it used to hurt. So that scotched my poetry attempts for a good long while.

If there are any parents, grandparents, etc, reading this, remember to laugh WITH your kids, not AT them.
