Ideas gleaned from poetry and books should be for sale in little boxes, that were optional at extra cost--and I would find inside, the little people there, that I could set upon my desk, and shake my finger at them, questionning without offence their origin, or their descent. And as a gentle Gulliver, perhaps, remember to remark upon their zeal. Of course if I found feedback from the air that bears my voice, or from my friends who care, I would. But yes, it is too much to ask, and much too little to depend upon. No wonder that the wee ones live for us! Beware, my tiny leprechaun. We are scavengers who would invade the night to capture you, for you are rare indeed. Within your packs, you bear the wonder drug, insight to know, to dare to understand, embrace, believe! ~

Hey, ungentle Gulliver. Like your stuff a lot - maybe a little over my head, but I will read more of your poetry, and soon. Love, daver

Ouf...you've a leprechaun, Robert...one of the wee folk in your pocket?:( Love the idea of "little boxes" with little people inside, being set down on your desk.:)) Sounds kinda risky, if you ask me...but you didn't, so I can imagine the mischief to myself.:) Enjoying your writes very much! Mikki

I'll not wag it at YOU, sweet woman. Thank you, always, and thanks for the reminder about the mail. I tend to forget that.
