Thanks, Lady J. I don't post a lot of poetry - leave that up to those of you who do it so well. :) But, since it's Kipling's birthday I made an exception. :) "If" is probably one of the most well-known of his (it is to me anyway)

Love the "Genius", and wonderful photo of Mark Twain!

I hate to tell you but it’s not your poetry I admire you for. Obviously it is for your graphics that I swoon.

I didn’t know it was Kipling’s birthday and I posted one of my favorite Kipling’s poems yesterday, White Horses.

Mark Twain was a genius - got cranky in his old age because he felt too much.
