No Clue

. Ask me not why this soul prefers me most For I the soul most know favor the locked lass with gold Yet this day before me the stroll long her back down was black The sylph’s eyes pitch just as black her figure to I was just as blond

nice to see your page alive ang kicking, james.. enjoyed the study in contrast here: blonde, slyph/ gold , black... the use of words really give a nice accent to the piece... blessings and hugggs! :)

Thy soul prefers thee with good reason dear poet. And I am fascinated with the contrasting of souls and blending of color in this subtle rhyme. I've been fevered with the flu beast this past while - hope you are well. Luv, Lizzy

I get a study in contrasts. Forgive me, dear sir, but I have read this many times, and for good reason. Your poetry is infectious, contagious and wonderfully original. Love, daver
