Hello. I was just talking with a friend yesterday WHO was saying WHY NOT HAVE an image & a poem on the page AT THE SAME time. You've already done THAT. What a perfect photo to fit such a perfect poem. Expressionism. Impressionism. "Ism ism isms"... NO ONE will truly know WHAT is seen by "Youth" and if the truth be told "Youth" cannot tell OR dare try to express. Some THINGS are best just appreciated from afar. THIS photo & poem work so tightly together. Perfection complete. Thank you Line...

I totally agree. In fact I'm compiling a book of poems a friend is translating into Español AND we've decided that instead of a photo for every poem WE are going to have a separate book of just photos and a book of just poems. So I am getting close to the concept jajaja...

Thank you so much, Jeff. I love adding artwork to a poem. It adds an extra dimension. The visual pleases a different part of the brain.
