Paul.. I know that this isn't telling you anything new: Your incredible gifting as a writer is picking the perfect word to convey your deep meaning (and sometimes your double meaning)! Here, in this poem, is a perfect example of what you do as well as any writer I've read!

July 5, 2018 at 9:44 AM

Thank you for your generous remarks, my friend. You are, as ever, a source of encouragement. Best regards // paul
