TERMITE: aka Joe, is a child of the 50's and a native of Newark, New Jersey. I've been on and off this site since 2004. While I'm not a prolific writer, there are times that circumstances inspire me to relieve (amuse) myself in a bit of wordplay. Over the years I've seen many writers come and go. I've also seen the site evolve in a very positive way from its younger beginnings. Where have all the "old" friends gone? Perhaps they are taking a break to relieve themselves in other interests. Hope so. As the membership continues to evolve with "newcomers", I will at times, rewrite and share older poems that were well received when originally posted. They do not age. When I have some spare time on my hands, I drop by to enjoy the writings of newer members. I'm never disappointed with the outstanding talent amassed here. I look forward to hearing from anyone who cares to comment here.
    LadyCosgrove: An interesting invitation that expects little and demands nothing. Intriguing even... -
    TERMITE: Ah yes, there you are Lady Cosgrove, as anticipated, digging round the memories buried in my bone yard. As a cat on silent paws, breathes the whisper of a subtle purr..exploring, examining, tasting the vapors of my mind. You arrived in the deepest darkness of a long ago night, punctuated by the fading storm of ageing words. Thank you for taking me up on my subtle invite. I hope your stealthy curiosity was satisfied. PS: Read your comment section top to bottom and LMAO at your assessment of the outrageous insanity of the English language. Smilingly yours, Joe -
