Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Tess- This is lovely. I find there is more and more interest in rhyme and in form poetry. It is not only beautiful - it is a discipline which helps us to get better and better at what we do- and the end result just flows- especially this piece. Thank you for sharing. You are motivating me. Seems there are a number of writers on the site. I should dig up some of my stuff and share. Most are on my work and home computer somewhere- problem is that the site doesn't take attachments and my hands have been stiff enough that I haven't motivated myself to retype. I am so computer illiterate- I haven't quite deciphered cutting and pasting into a message- if that can be done.
