Elvira, Your response inspired me to go back & read all your poems posted on the forum...I was tempted to respond to each one of them... Talent born-with or acquired mirrors the goodness required.. You are a real gifted poet...Keep up the great work & keep 'em coming... ------------------ "No one was ever ruined from without; The final ruin comes from within." Amelia E. Barr |
