Wow Al!

Your vivid use of language and imagery never ceases to amaze me. There are so many wonderful images in this poem that to name but one would do the rest an injustice.

I was intrigued by the title, but on reading the poem and especially the last 2 lines, it is perfect.

You certainly know how to evoke the senses, and thus involve your reader placing him/her right in there.

Wonderful my my friend.
