Date Posted: 19:12:41 01/23/08 Wed I love this poem Andy! Excellent writing. I heart the sentiment as I feel the same way about writing. Great progression:"she said, "OH, he would never do that" but, he did and never told her It's funny how the fruit fly can't be caught It took me years to figure out that the wind from my hand pushed them beyond my reach"... From beginning to end a wonderful reflective piece! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
