a great write ,,,only if,,only if all things could be solved as chatter in a bar room, unfortunately it is solved more like the fights that sometimes come about,,still a powerful write,,,and a tribute to the painting itself,,,blessings..Cecil

Well I am not a man but will comment. It is amazing how so many of the world's problems can be solved in your poems where abouts. Thanks for your comments on my work. The poem about the genuine dark night was not all about looking at the stars. I closed my eyes one day and that is what I saw. It was so real as if I was in the sky. Keep writing.:)Sara
