(smiling) those who listen... perhaps it is the act of listening and observing that makes a poet..a poet.. |

That, my dear Captain, is why YOU are a fine poet--you are a good listener and a sharp observer of life! hugs, EA |

Good morning, Mr. T. Anyone who can write as well as you do, does not wear blinders, ear muffs, mittens, --nor is your mouth filled with cotton batting!--for you are one who sees, hears, touches, and tastes life--and turns it all into beautiful poetry! hugs, EA |

Sunshine From looking out the window of my den (no, I'm not hibernating! tehe), I can see that you are up and about! Your rays are very healing ones! "rustle" --for some reason, that word makes me want to giggle! Oh, well, I am a bit of a giggle puss anyway! hugs, Linda |

I was always told we were given two ears and only one mouth that we might listen twice as much as we talk (at least! LOL) Here in poetry land, I call it lurking. *G* I like this very much, EA... an excellent, thought-provoking write. |
