I'll admit this style was more of a drive-by attempt. I may study it on the next Blue Moon :)

You're welcome.
I've embraced time knowing the inevitable is there always. No escape so why not play with the path. Nice work.

Cherrie, you're a very good shot!
You've caught these moments well Cherrie. Using few words forces you to make them count. I'll need to brush up on these poetic forms and try a few. Heads or tails is what life often comes down to.
