Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Date: 4/20/2009 2:06:00 PM That is a perfect poem for the painting. Once again, you have said so much with so few words. You are very talented. (I suppose that you know that already, but I also suppose that it is nice to hear. So, it's an excellent choice of words.) Thank for your comment on my poems. Always, Dane Login to Reply

Sharon Winter Date: 4/20/2009 10:17:00 AM Hauntingly sad, those eyes. Perfect poem for the portrait. Such talent to capture the inside of a person on the outside. Such talent to make us actually hear what I imagine to be her hopeless sighs, in your poem. Love, Shar Login to Reply
