I'm thinking of Professor Gloom and how very sad he seems. I wonder if could speak to him inside his saddest dreams. Could one bring to his heart a soothing, pleasant glow that would spark the love down deep inside and make joy something he'd know. Could one bring the sunlight to the thoughts he holds within and somehow turn his countenance to the name, Professor Grin? Yet, someone's said, it's quite important to have shadows against the light so the joys of wondrous living are perceived as extra bright. So Gloom you go on writing of sadness or of woe, and we will thank you for your talent and the brightness that you show. ©August 28, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

I must have missed this the first time through, And yes Virginia, Professor Gloom does exists. He celebrates no holidays, no birthdays, and no mirthful occasions. He, I, we that are he, simply exists like Gloom itself, Lingering in the shadows of our society. I am touched by having a poem, And a good one also, named for me. I do answer e-mails, although sometimes a touch slow, But I do try to get to them, when the spammers are jamming my account. I will continue to write, It is my curse, or yours for being subjected to it, And even if you don’t see a post, I’m still writing. Gloom there are many poems at my web site, which I am trying to update these days |

Gloom, Glad you finally saw this, since you liked it and all. Glad, too, that you posted it too as I didn't know you 'other'name and almost didn't open your e- mail. Generally I don't open anything if I don't know its origin. I'm a big chicken! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
