Very enjoyable, Jonathan .The sunrise mightn't be fully yours, in the sense that the accompanying photo wasn't taken by you. But the words are unmistakably yours. Am I right in thinking that you do indeed possess an old-fashioned typewriter and took it out especially to type that poem?

Thank you, Martin -- I do indeed own such a machine, but I confess I was lazy and didn't pull it out for this exercise, instead faking it with a font called "Typewriter." Mea culpa!

Love the rhyming of missive with elusive and the personification of the Great Lake!

Whimsy beauty and wisdom. So much in these few lines, all enough this frigid morning…

Hey, your birthday card just arrived — thank you! (Alas, the mail is moving slowly over the border in these troubled times.)
