Think for Me
"How do you calculate the circumference of a circle? Submit your answer when ready." [Pause] "Excellent! Every student was able to call up the answer electronically very quickly. If I, as a robot had feelings, I would express pride. You may break for lunch. Return to this cyber room in 45 minutes."

Congrats on leaderboard! Don’t spend it all in one place!💖
Oh, love this haiku, Lamar
Fantastic! This made me miss spring thunderstorms, it's so vivid!
I get startled very easily so I'm always grateful that lightening arrives before the thunder. It's like nature gives me a heads up, lol. Loved your poem!
I was anticipating a start of "It was a dark and stormy night." So glad you surprised me after the title and cover image.
Great
Today is Chinese New Years. Happy New Years!

Thunderstorms are something aren't they. Good job.
