Aw thanks so much James! :-) I'm pretty new to rhyme and meter, so glad it landed. Sorry for the late reply - totally missed your comment, my apologies.
Aw thanks so much Jonathan! Oh true - I had forgotten about Mary Cassatt. Yeah, I wonder. She might be her aunt or great aunt or something? Ohhh - haven't seen that newsletter before - thanks for the great rec. :-)
A pleasure - thanks so much for reading! Yeah, there's a possibility she was one of those poets who only published a poem or two. Aw thanks - hope you're having a good week too! :-)
Hats off to the quatrain! Very good. And thank you for the introduction to another poet!

Fantastic work, Dick!
I don't know which poem I like best.
Aw that's so kind Rod - much appreciated! 💜
Exquisite. (Both hers and yours.)
I wonder if she's related to the painter.
(Pairs nicely with today's Daily Poem at https://open.substack.com/pub/dailypoempod/p/robert-louis-stevensons-my-bed-is -- which is a Substack podcast I also highly recommend)

I agree. Both of these are lovely.
Cheers LeAnn! Much appreciated.
Thanks for sharing Cassatt's work, Dick. Admittedly I'm not familiar with it. So this is a great find. Hope you're doing well this week-
