Andrea Dietrich Date: 10/9/2017 5:41:00 PM Ahhhh, I was reviewing your poetry lists searching for those poems you gave me and saw this sweet one you did for me a few years back. I just scanned your first two pages but don't see the poems beginning with R that you told me about. I must be blind. Wish we could view poems alphabetically. I know we can view by form!! I'm gonna go see if it's possible. If not, I will do another quick scan. If you don't see another post from me, can you tell me where the Regina and other R poem are? Login to Reply
