I never grew my beard so much, I cannot do that in my profession as everyone will gawk at me but there are times I want my beard to wander to distant horizons. Maybe when I am retired one day I will. Great poem. Well done.

Thank you Rod.

That's a pretty neat format, and quite revealing. I'll bet you were asked to play, or have played, Santa. What kind of fertilizer are you feeding that beard?

Hi, Treischel,
This is an excellent biographical sketch in poetic form. It has good rhyme, flow, figurative language and imagery. It meets the requirements of the form as spcified by the author.

Comment from Capricorn30
The Reischel montage--readers view the author photographs as they learn the various topics of which the poet writes;
A greater understanding of a Fanstorian in a well-crafted, bio-writing.
Excellent!
Great concept!
