My profit, eight hours sleep last night, of late to dreams of sex I stray in winter's Sun found not Miss Right yet not to Mrs. Wrong fell prey Not once intrudes reminder Moon to fill my head of she whose sway had changed love's song to looney tune which throbs a hung o'er chienne apres In drier air a lesser wrap sufficient for a chilly wind, today I fell not in the trap of my past sins This day I worked in better health though modestly my time paid for in sum of which I'll count as wealth I did not feed our sons to war |

Not once intrudes reminder Moon to fill my head of she whose sway had changed love's song to looney tune which throbs a hung o'er chienne apres I enjoyed it all, but this verse........my favorite. Well done Richard. |

I really liked this one, dear friend - I spent 10 years 'in limbo' until I met 'Miss Right'. Sunnyone and I were (eventually!) married 2 weeks ago - and I promise you, when it is 'right', it is perfect and all those wasted hours, days, weeks, years are washed away in an instant. I wish you peace and tranquility for the coming festive season, and health, wealth and happiness, in the New Year to come. Kind thoughts John Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world. |

"to thine own self be true" This you manage to do in everything I read from you Richard. You write with integrity of the moment, and I always enjoy the sharing of your inner vision. |

a sense of peace in your words, and the ever-present honesty of you--enjoyed! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |
