Candice - thank you for that positive reaction. Would you believe the
'poems poems' was a typo; then I noticed it, then I left it in. I'm of the
school that believes (some) typos are your unconscious dictating ...
As for the first draft of the two Sitting poems, it is lost. I do have the
two poems which I will happily post in my next visit. (Have to find them,
type 'em in etc.)
