[ExI] It's Xmas!

[ilsa]

Gratitude for the poem from Bing I think that's the introduction to the
first book God I love Chaucer why do I love Charleston so much Oh is it
because he's body or because it's a part of my brain that was left over for
my days in Denmark or something I don't know if I believe that I don't know
what makes up a personality actually, but I just love Chaucer it's the
iambic foot! Oh you do make me smile thank you so very much thank you both,
all, for your kind words. Smile

So are you suggesting I use Bing as an editor Like I could take a digital
page or something that I've written that I'm not real happy with and put it
in bank and it will come out in Chaucer speak I'm actually looking for
chaucers iambic feet the rhythm of his of his trochets!
I'm living with my daughter so I've taken to sitting outside in my very
comfortable car with the door open as though I were in a lawn furniture I
did a series of little photographs and word poems before the leaves turned
and now I'm sitting outside absolutely delighted to receive your charming
entertaining communication! Thank you very much
