Rebirth glides - a bee balm ballerina with dainty airs sails soft upon enchanted wisps of Spirit’s blown kiss.. wandering a nectar network weaving amid shaggy blooms gilt-tilled.. a dancer in gold dust her slipper feet of light and peace bring blessings of fruition to wild-garden's frilly lavender fillies

I am truly impressed, Susan. This goes to show that it's not the length of a poem which counts, but the way it is expressed. In your case you fit all sizes...mini, midi, maxi:) Gershon is a worthy recipient of this delightful dedication! ~ Warm regards & Hugs // paul

Indeed, my dear friend, poetry isn't just a one-size-fits-all affair, one must mix and match, try on different styles. At times, layer with a little more, and other times, dare to bare with a little less :) I have learned from you, Paul, how effective expression in the mini mode can be. I relish your inspiration and your friendship always. Thank you, Paul, your kindness truly goes a long way. Warmest wishes and hugs.. ~Susan
