    Yes, I've steered away from vanity book publishing sites and only got sucked into one poetry contest. I'll keep my eyes open

    re: Georgetown... I'm thinking the 2020 census must be way off.
    I always thought there were more people there than in my little community... they have all the grocery stores (2) unless you go all the way to Cool (which has about the same number of people that G.V. has), (1) of (2) banks on the Divide, the other in Cool, the only library, (3) elementary schools (we have (1) teeny-tiny elementary school, and the only High School and intermediate school that serves 7 or 8 communities (if you split the town of Cool and Auburn Lake Trails (a gated community)) of our spread out area, way more restaurants, at least (5) more churches (including mine), all the gifty type shops, the only laundymat,and so on. G.V. does have a 7/11 that was minimally converted from an ancient Mom&Pop store but none of our communities has a big box store (unless you count Dollar Tree in Cool), or name brand fast food chain type restaurants. No Po-lice stations up here at all... no bowling alleys no theatres , no book stores , no buses except school buses, no trains. I guess Cool has some amenities like Georgetown has come to think about it: some restaurants, (1) elementary school, the only water works company (which is actually in A.L.T. - Water Extortion-R-Us)... most of us, like we are, are on wells. (6) communities have Post Offices... Kelsey's P.O. got moved over the river to the South off the Divide.

    re: Georgetown. I imagine that the place where you live is very beautiful and peaceful (nor need for policemen!). The problem in case of an emergency is only that one is entirely dependent of an own car to live there as there is no public transport and most of the places one usually goes to including hospitals and churches are elsewhere. And probably no own major. By the way Cool must be cool.

    *secrets Of Grass...Lovely poem! Reminds me of the time I lived in the hills.

    You seem enchanted by Petrarca“s nobel poetry!

    So, some more Petrarca:

    "Remember me" implored the Thief... A bit of a riddle for me. A quick search didn“t bring any analysis.

    re: Emily Dickinson... it's a Bible poem; there is an explanation below on the same page.

    re: Frost... I guess he's not a fan of the snow either. It's eerie being in nature trapped in the snow.

    re Emily Dickinson: I remember the story but was a bit confused by the juristic terms. I hadn't read the explanation

    "Vain is the chiming of forgotten bells" Almost an expressionistic take!

    Incredible poem considering the subject matter. I wonder if she was in jail at this time ? Enjoyed the entire poem but the last line sums it up very well: "A Christmas banquet for the heart!"
