I've actually taught every level except college, but now I'm just enjoying reading and writing for myself.<br /><br />Aine - I'm glad!<br /><br />Julie - We are in love with words, aren't we, or we wouldn't be doing this all the time? A couple of my favorite lines:<br />"Why, Hamlet, what's the matter?" <br />"Words. Words, words, words!" <br /><br />Now, THAT is the MATTER! <br /><br />Vesper - Lovers know. I'm glad you do.<br /><br />Gerry - Thank you!<br /><br />joaquin - Isn't it wonderful to hold something someone has written in your hand? As much as I like the Internet for its ability to connect us, a blinking cursor just isn't the same as ink on paper. Real ink is best on paper with texture. Oh, that's wonderful! <br /><br />Thanks for the nod to "decode."

While I don't want to turn my poetry into "True Confessions," if I allow my reticence to restrain my verse, I am not being true to poetry itself. I might as well not write it.
