Just want to recognize the effort Paul has put into writing poetry with me. Sometimes we find a poet who is on a similar wavelength. It's a blessing!

His poetic voice rides across the sea I could swear that Paul is speaking to me With rhythm in his words, peace in his heart I find Paul and I are not far apart Collaboration takes little effort Conflicts in tone we easily avert In Malta he writes by soft candlelight When I’m still blessed by generous daylight Paul takes me to depths I have never known I feel so blessed; as a poet I’ve grown *November 1, 2016 For Andrea’s “Community Builders Free for All Tribute”

I love this tribute, and I recognize it! There are a few wonderful poets I do collaborations with, and it makes my life so rich. When it clicks, and for me it clicks with a few, it's very special.

Dear Carolyn, I have no words to thank you for this lovely and generous write! Though we live miles apart, we clicked straight away (after all we're both Peacenicks:)) Collaborating with you has always been a pleasurable experience, and I too consider myself blessed to have made your acquaintance. I would also like to thank all those who posted such lovely comments below...truly appreciated. No doubt, this goes to my favs! Love & Hugs ~ paul

Welcome home, Paul. I hope you had a wonderful trip. You should be receiving a gift for Valentina shortly, if it hasn't already arrived. It could be for her birthday or for Christmas.
