Good Morning Mystic. This is a masterpiece and extraordinary poetic entry of free verse to which you do her proud. Truly. It was an honor turning to this entry and your page this morning. Sit back and re-read your words and you will see the worth of it all. And yes Mystic, this is an entry to be read out loud with emphasis and feeling. Have a wonderful day and weekend. Blessings (smile)
