Paul is a class act for sure. His poetry inspires me but I can not teach that level of refinery in my writings. I admire greatly those that do. About a hundred poets here that I would love to ever meet in person, have a few beers and discuss poetry with. Both you guys are lucky to be that blessed IMHO.. LOVE THE MYSTERY LINE TOO!! A--7

Cool it's great when you can meet one of us fellow soupers in person, and I agree with your last line what is sad, and shared should just be between the two of you, cheri
