Thanks Constance. I also appreciate your title for my joint poem but I need you to write a line that goes with it and connects it to the poem.

This could be used as a very lovely example on a lesson about the importance of choosing the proper title. I LOVED the title....the rest is also enchanting. Good luck in the contest, Rick.

The title was inspired by Leo Bascalia, the Love Doctor. His quote " A single rose can be my garden, a single person my world!"

Thank you Rick for the previous visit in my page. I was captivated by the title. The way you entitled your poem and the way you begin your first line was so profound. Feel glad to read this piece in my dark cubical room :). Good luck for the contest, and wishing you a great day Rick, hug, yanny

Lovely. We chose the same visual, Rick. Seems it also had the same effect on you, going down memory lane. Btw, the form should be Free Verse per contest rules. :-)
