Apologies for only just commenting but I have been away for a couple of weeks and heavy workload and family commitments means I will be a little slow to catch up. However, when I come across such gems as this I am glad I wait to have time to savour.

I really liked this poem Leisa and could relate to it. I liked the depth and quality as well as the imagery that brought the poem to life.

Hope to see you around more.
