Cheryl darling this is simply outstanding writing, you have done so well here I don’t know how you do it. Again flawless and perfectly presented. What can I say but this is exceptional. YOU always write brilliantly and today is no exception. Wonderful flow and rhythm, this is an excellent Tanka, Dave was looking for someone to show him Tanka’s you could give him lessons   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Wow. Powerful imagery. I think I've explained my position on this before-quit doing things this well! It makes it hard for me to make excuses for the fluffy stuff I write! Nan |
