  • Re: denny with a "d"

    I LIKE that poem, denny. I really think you should focus on original poetry revolving around such themes.

    denny: OK - I have managed to convince myself that, with the help of Ted, that this poem needs to go in a different direction - maybe employ the concepts and ''jargon'' of ''Number Theory'' buried within the text itself. Number 2 “When One made love to Zero, spheres embraced their arches and prime numbers caught their breath''Raymond ...
