Craig, I note that this is Chapter 181, so either your maths is a little astray, or your wonderful book doesn't really have a word for each day of the year.
This one was easy enough to guess the meaning of, thanks to a passing knowledge of both French and Latin.
The message is a sound one, although, apart from going to work, I have some eremite qualities myself, although not xenophobic. There, I thought I'd thro in my own curiosity - why does English need both hermit and eremite?

You're quite right, Steve. I was out by a day and a half. I forgot February is a couple short. Thanks for checking out my poem, and for teaching me a new word. Craig

Many thanks for the kind words, much appreciated. It reminds me here of one over Cox's River in the blue mountains. Cheers - Craig

Yes, Craig you will make it to the mother side. What a great way to mark the halfway point in your project. You are doing a great job educating us with new words & composing some great poems. I like the way this one reads. It has a great message. We must expand our boundaries & our minds & learn from each other. The world is only so big & we all have to live on it. Your well-chosen words are a great pairing with the super picture. Your lines have great flow & rhymes. Thanks for sharing. Jan
