Siriasis, Poem 2023-0603

Below is a poem I wrote long ago when a days-long hot summer sun baked more than the land around us. You are full brazen, Your swollen tan lies crisp on sunbaked sand.

Louie and Bruce 001-2022-1020, posted Oct. 20, 2022 I was 9 when I fell in love with drawing cartoons. I copied my favorite TV, newspaper, and comic book characters as best I could.

Thanks for that, Joseph. I'm hoping to get some new readers with the promotion. But if I don't, it won't…

Happy Valentine's day and best of luck with your book promotion.
