It still seems strange, writing from one of these, a totally different way of composing.<br /><br /><b>Mary </b><br />Thanks for saying so, Mary. The closing image was the latst to come to me, so it was something of a bonus.<br /><br /><b>Ygraine </b><br />Good to have your response and so gratifying to hear that you have found so much in it. Thank you for your comment.<br /><br /><b>Tommaso </b><br />Very satisfying to hear. Thank you so much.<br /><br /><b>Claudia </b><br />Thanks Claudia. Much appreciated.<br /><br /><b>David </b><br />Thanks a salways. Good to know your thoughts.<br /><br /><b>Elephant's Child </b><br />Your reservations are well justified, I think. Personally, I am not one who believes that animals have souls, but it is what for the sake of the poem I have given the hermits to believe. Thanks as ever for your observations, always good to have.<br /><br /><br />Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-1017485558718217472013-05-15T04:58:31.699+01:002013-05-15T04:58:31.699+01:00Powerful - but I have reservations.
