I don’t know if its just my new hobby Of dressing old recollections In the prettier costumes of revisionist memory Or, did I, unlike Botticelli, Simply not recognize who she was When she stepped naked From the scallops of her slip Floating in a sea of little black dress? |

Every opportunity I've had to read your posts has left me without the right words. In awe and brilliant come to mind, now. You write such engaging, thought-provoking, and refreshing poetry that I often just stare at the screen and wonder, "How the heck does he do it?" At times the simplest little detail of life turns into a masterpiece. Your inspiration in those instances are what we all crave as poets but that you attain and wield so incredibly easily. Well done, again. Kevin |

Ed Sometimes in the present, a moment goes by too fast to make it last, so it's a good thing we can count on memory to paint it for us. I loved this poem!!! |

The winners get to write the history books....and having lived intensely enough to have a memory makes you the winner. Whatever you remember IS the way it was! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Yeah, you're work leaves me thinking for a while. Then I get it and still am unsure about what I just got. But what I do have is pretty ammusing and seems like most of us. Enjoyed. -GIS |

"Floating in a sea of little black dress?" DUDE! Step away from the LBD! Its proximity to the male wiring in your brain will cause an overload in the framastat thingy in your brain stem. This then causes a sharp increase in several animal appetites, an increase in salivation and the cessation of higher brain function!!! It can even lead to dancing! *grin* |
