All poets start somewhere... good ones never finish – all poems subject to theme, mapped or an impulse just to travel~ wherever...I think we met somewhere in the Wherever, years of treasure found with fond entry and regress, the tempering of loving hearts – best poems nourished by each ensuing reading, strengthened by shared affection – freed to a sea of greater consciousness, where all verses end up, to float or sink – a writer's journey of buoyancy and beached whales – so, here is another of mine, I turn loose with sails. May those often tempestuous winds blow kinder – Asking for graceful gales, from nets this work remain un-snared – from shores countless sands, unnamed, by gentle eddy~ be thou spared!

Jeez! Absolutely. Thank you. I only read that over a hundred times, and never saw the error. Saw what was written in my mind more than what was on the screen. Blessings my friend!

The second verse says much! Nourished by further reading, enjoyed with affection, we are affected…is the writing buoyant or a beached whale.
