Very cool format… And the play on words is brilliant!

so is your grandson’s name Justus?
a friend of my daughter is called Justine – the righteous – always loved the name – it’s pronounced french…

Wow, I just adore that name; gosh, Justus; may have to borrow it for a character one day; never heard of it; prefer it to Odin, which some friends named their grandson. Justice is blindfolded, remember, & the more money you have, the sweeter the outcome. Saw a tabloid this week. O.J. is dying in prison, so now he is saying, “Yeah, I did it! So what?”

Thanks for your comments, Glenn! Justus is a character alright 🙂

Your physical poem shape reflects equality. Your word placement reflects balance. Your meaning relfects justice. Nice.

A tribute indeed! It is wonderful to discover those noble qualities in our children and grandchildren and it is satisfying to praise and encourage them. We remember our grandparents all our lives and it becomes a responsibility of love every minute we’re with them. Well done!

I agree, justus can be myopic

just us….
Nov 07, 2014 @ 23:37:07

Oh if justice was fair.. but at least that’s the ambition isn’t it…
