You have said it very well Raphaela with your
words of understanding about busy lives which too,
have I, finding it dishearting some times to post,
comment anywhere from 2/3 up to 5, [sometimes I haven't
even posted] and then see my attempt of a
poem except for you or Al, disappear into the maze
of uncommented poems or just barely...*grin*...well
perhaps it should not matter, it does somewhat sadden
my poetic heart. Maybe it is what seems to be,
interesting weather???;-p
I don't know but thanks for saying this, commenting
can make things for most of ALL, quite fun!
N'est pas?:-D
