THERETO
19 February 2011

It was the shadow,
morning-dew soft
and flying-air-sharp,
that knew
the arc-dancer
with compass perfection
and Monet imperfection
and long-ago scripts
and the windows up.

Thank you, Spiros.  Yes, I have noticed your use of ‘wild’ elsewhere, and I love it – and I love the fact that you have  used it for my poem.  Yes, I do know that you love my poetry, and that makes me happy.

Very beautiful imagery evoked by your poem. Very pleasant to read, and fresh, like the morning that you describe. Thank you for sharing it.
