Broken Bread

covered in pigeons

                             a man with nothing but crumbs

                                    peace his only friend

A beauty to most everything, I do tend to agree. Thank you John, I believe being a "poet", an "artist", is more a state of being than producing; how you see the world, how you be in the world. xomo :)

If you had entered this in the bird contest and I were a judge, I'd have placed this high! That is how much I like it (just back to say that)
