Fools are blind and they see not
That blind they are and fools as well
They tumble blindly into hell
Fools are blind and they see not
They keep their head within a pot
And think the view inside is swell
Fools are blind and they see not
That blind they are and fools as well

Nicely done. There are some really good points that could be pointed out here. As an experiment, let's see if anyone finds them. Aren't these little things fun?

The poem is a triolet, a very specific form, which it matches perfectly. See  http://www.poeticbyway.com/gl-t.html  and scroll down to Triolet.

Absolutely delightful.  I've been reading and commenting on your work today -- for whatever that's worth -- and I'm just flat tickled.  The individual pieces are fine, but the fact that you maintain a very high quality throughout a body of work is most impressive!

Do a chapbook if you haven't done one.  I'll sign up for five to pass around.

Best, Jim
