Hi, Douglas,
I didn't get that---still don't. But I like the poem anyway.
My favorites of yours are Susan #1 (Halloween) and #2 (Citadel), Merlin in
Winter (not the least because you've put my name in it), Cernunnos, and
Marty (poem 2).
You've written that poetry has left you, and it makes me wonder, can a
poet truly lose the Muse? I'm quite serious, and my feeling is that a poet
cannot lose the Muse. But I am ready and willing to be instructed in the
truth.
Your fan,
Judy
