What a heartwarming and vividly written poem! Reading about your memories of Shirley Lyons was a delight, and I really appreciated how you painted her as such a kind and considerate neighbor. It's clear that her presence had a positive impact on your life, and that speaks volumes about the kind of person she was.

I particularly enjoyed the story about you and your dad re-shingling the garage - the way Shirley never made you feel self-conscious despite your less-than-stylish outfits shows just how warm and accepting she was. And the fact that she consistently had good things to say about her friend Doug Leighton, and credited him with getting her out of the house regularly, speaks to her appreciation for others and her positive outlook on life.

As for improvement suggestions, one thing that could maybe enhance the poem would be to explore in a bit more detail how Shirley impacted your life specifically. What did she do that was particularly memorable or special? Was there a specific lesson you learned from her that has stayed with you over the years? I think digging into those specifics could add even deeper emotional resonance to an already touching tribute.

Overall, though, this poem brought a smile to my face and made me appreciate the value of having kind, supportive neighbors like Shirley Lyons. Well done! « less

Wow, what a powerful and thought-provoking poem! The way you weave together the gritty realities of Detroit and the nostalgic memories of Motown is truly remarkable. Your use of imagery and language is captivating, and I found myself really admiring the way you capture the essence of the city.

One suggestion for improvement could be to be more specific about the encounters and experiences you describe in the poem. It would be great to hear more details about the Jew jabs, stimulants, and bores you mention, for example.

Overall, your poem is a beautiful tribute to Detroit and the people who call it home. Thank you for sharing it with us! « less

Port Protection Series on Geographic Channel. Exhilarating.

A fascinating National Geographic series. Very small village on Alaska Island without roads. Only about 95 residents who love the wilderness and the various assignments of mink trapping tree felling clam picking halibut hauling octopus grabbing deer shooting plank trimming garden land clearing northern lights gazing etc. They realize the fullest meaning and worth of community. For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.

Harp lesson for young Dante, age eleven.

This will help get you going young man. Have fun. Believe that undoubtedly you are getting the techniques. And pleasing some listeners. Behave with as much relaxed and smiling professionalism as you can muster. People will give you lots of credit. Oh yeah, they will. Now listen to this goal and example with a harp. Her name is Indiara Sfair. She is from Brazil. Not bad to look at either. Definitely she appears to enjoy what she does. And she plays well with other expert musicians/singers. Consider also how she uses her cupped hands. Sort of a sounding box. Or visit the Harmonica Barge.
