Bleak

The depths of winter
Even in the afternoon
The tenacious frost
Your total lack of empathy
In all the rooms of the house

Jim, you have made the bleak beautiful.

I continue to marvel at your ability to use the traditional syllabic forms of English Japanese short-forms without their reading too slowly or too long.

Brian, thanks for sending the thoughtful compliment. I'd like to take more credit, but I have had many mentors in using a syllabic approach to Japanese forms. Most important for me was Richard Wright. His work really opened the door to this possibility for me.

Thanks,

Jim
