Comment by Gwendolynium on April 28, 2022 at 4:50pm: Dire Mr. Canard, you are an inspiration, as always.

Since early, Gwendolynium

Comment by Richard Canard on April 28, 2022 at 3:59pm: 28.04.22 Dare Ms. Gwendolynium, ...I used to live in Winston-Salem (Forsyth County) & fondly remember the excitement of some vague association & the first signs of spring with Forsythia. I've always admired those untamed long arching spans of yellow but understand that things can get crowded or in the way. There is a yard here in Carbondale that contains a huge well-groomed 'minimal art' type block of Forsythia approx. 5ft.h.x7ft.w.x12ft.l. I think of it to be a creation by Mother Nature & Mrs. Donald Judd. ...& it was (sorta simultaneously) the Concrete Poet Mary Ellen Solt (Indiana) & her version 'Forsythia' that inspired me to seek introduction & appreciation for concrete poetry. ..... SinCelery, Richard Canard
