Thought barter would have been better. The taker would have gotten a good deal, though, as yours came with a POTD. Congrats! Kim

Dear Arthur, A very clever poem that tugs at our heartstrings (even there are "no strings attached"). I fear there is too much mileage on my heart to go the distance for another shot at romance. Maybe I should seal it in the "vaulted box." Outstanding poetry! Goes to my faves. Love, Carolyn

Such powerful imagery. " I don't want it anymore" "My Heart Low mileage Over rocky roads" . these words almost brought tears to me. Maybe its the familiarity. X7
