I see no end.

Shawn L. Bird 
Great. Makes me envious, though. We are not exactly experiencing summer!
Gloriously warm here: mid to high 30s all this week and into 40s forecast for next week under clear blue skies. I confess, I stay inside with the air conditioning through the day, and only venture out in the evenings, when I read/write on the porch swing.
I would revel in the warmth!
It’s certainly warm!
1500 and you’re still excited. That is a good sign.
It’s getting more fun all the time, as lovely people like you join the adventure! 🙂
Lovely poem. And congrats!
Thank you Ms. Wong!
Congratulations on your 1500th post! WOW!
Thank you!
My son has been telling me about his site that has funny mad libs to things so in the breaks I was putting those in which were fun and colorful also reading it like a cloud floating by me.
Congrats on the 1500 post

1500? Great job! Love this poem and the many ways which it shines when I turn it differently in the light.
Thank you.

Ooops
I like the way you spaced the words to reflect the “lost” theme. Blessings to you, Shawn…
A circle = eternity
Wow – 1500!! What an wonderful accomplishment. And you have posted quite a fun one at that. I like the different ‘faces’.
Thanks, Kim.
Two readings in one poem. The syntax itself enriches the readings of your poem. This is delightful 🙂

Congrats! Have you attained some kind of magical power with such discipline? Are you flying? Do you have laser vision?
No- just expanding in girth!
