Dear Juanita:

I googled Rubik’s Cube, of course, I know what it is and this makes me understand your kangaroo poem, beautiful, another beginner’s mind poem, simple and profound… your poems, non pretentious, and as such, they are uncommon, unusual, rare. “I’ll have to buy the book to figure it out”- people do that, I did, buy the books to figure it out, only there is no book. I am impressed by your poetry, Juanita, again: simple (child’s/ beginner’s mind( and profound, the combination of the two makes for a very potent delivery.

* Melissa: I was thinking: “gay in a house… with a mouse” as Dr. Seuss fan and there it was the word mouse. I like the rhyming. I didn’t understand the exchange about gays, spirituality, conservatism but it’s okay, I don’t have to understand everything… nice sounding poem!
