That would be great, Tallen. I found Fulton the most challenging this month, so got her out of the way. My Yeats is gestating in the file incubator to make sure it's fully developed and ready to post. LOL!
Looks like it's going to be Ogwaga and Tagore next month. That's one I'm really looking forward to.

I'm very intrigued by Fulton's concept of Fractal Poetry and may attempt another. Out of all the poets we've studied so far in the CCComps, she seems the most pro-active in expanding what Poetry can be.
