Hi Sigrid, I think you intended this for Emile and fell victim to the PS glitch that sends POTD messages to the previous day's POTD. Cheers, John (Watt)

As I have stated many times- sometimes less is so much more. You have succeeded my dear friend. :) As one reading words of another, I want to breathe in every emotion. To feel each moment. "Short and Sweet" The title alone is captivating- well, it is to me anyway. Congratulations John, on Poem of the Day. :) Hugs, Brandy

Yes, less is more. I am still learning that valuable lesson, my friend. This poem was a reminder to myself to keep that in mind when I write. You are always so kind to encourage the POTD winners, Brandy. Thank you for that, and for being you. Enjoy your November ~ John
