Rifling through past posts
one smiles knowingly
because
in spite of sundry errors
and the occasional raised eyebrow
the poet is recognizably me.

Unquestionably.
Undoubtedly.
Me.

And I wouldn't change a thing.

I envy you... there are some posts I'd definitely change... and some poems I fail to recognize as mine. *smile*

I really like this... bravo!

My philosophy is that you have to accept your past no matter how messy and foreign it seems in hindsight. It is a hard philosophy to accept sometimes, but such is life.

Thanks for the read.

I share your philosophy and put it up to just some more "stuff" that made me who I am. I loved this.

Muchos Gracias mi amiga. (Now if only I could write a deeper poem, syntax wise.)
