I love the way you have controlled the pace of the poem, so the reader must read slowly, really taking in each image. <br /><br />A funny coincidence - as we were driving the long road to take my daughter back to her university today, I noticed how many sunflowers were growing at the side of the road. I don't know if the seeds fall out of trucks carrying stock feed or how they come to be there on the edge of the freeway.Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-48731252209567812632014-04-21T12:05:59.801-04:002014-04-21T12:05:59.801-04:00such enjoyable lines....such enjoyable lines....Sumana Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333363799083094084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-34696614749775685982014-04-21T12:05:32.524-04:002014-04-21T12:05:32.524-04:00Oh, it just occurred to me I forgot to say this is...Oh, it just occurred to me I forgot to say this is really beautiful. <br /><br />^_^ <br /><br /><br />Kiss you. <3Kenia Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893148474912410033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-4180338871959083492014-04-21T12:04:47.569-04:002014-04-21T12:04:47.569-04:00Spring steals the best in me instead of giving me ...Spring steals the best in me instead of giving me the gift of words.<br /><br />I've been wondering and I think we need a code word, or phrase I can leave on the comment form everytime I come and read you and you leave me dumbstruck, so I don't have to repeat myself, either by saying 'OMG this is beautiful', or by complaining you cause me to go speechless.
