Notes About The Poem

Asea

Affable windswept seas,
     Awaken distant dreams
     Affirming lost desires.
     Agog with passion's will,
     Awaiting windward hope.
     Away on bounding crests,
     Alive to trim such sails.

Charlie I keep searching and searching for a poem of yours I have not seen but I am like a boat at ASEA (haha). Just drifting and getting nowhere! I read this one again anyway and am pleased to recall it! Have a happy weekend, my friend. (If you have a favorite poem I have never seen yet, please lead me to it!)

Andrea, yout notes mean so much from someone whose body of work I have so much respect for. I'm open to sugestive constructive improvements. Feel free to offer any thoughts....Some of these forms feel pretty foreign and are my first attempts. Feel free to post and open up, you can't hurt my feelings. I've been to Waco...love Charlie...
