Oh, the irony! (Part 2)
And today I learned that three of my photographs will also be included in the 2017 edition of Spindrift, the art and literary journal published by Shoreline Community College. That’s welcome news after a weekend of tax problems and website snafus. Yeah… (26 March 2017)

The prompt presents the titles of a number of poems by Langston Hughes; the challenge is to use eight or more of them in a poem.
