Thank you. Actually, this is one of a set I am co-writing with a friend who is not, per se, a poet. His name is Richard Kessling. So it's his too. [That's _so_ as in _therefore_ rather than _so_ as in clearing the throat before speaking which seems to be spreading virally] I didn't say that, about Richard, when I posted, not to gain any glory solo but to not say too many things at once that were not directly connected with the poem. I shall pass your comment to Richard. [Somewhere in the memory of this machine there may be an unfinished response to yours on the wf workshop - basically I was saying yes, it's very like PE. I think I trashed it with my thick fingers but if it suddenly appears I'll finish. Otherwise: yes] Lawrence On Wed, February 8, 2012 15:34, Douglas Barbour wrote: > Yeah, a snap, caught on the run: I like it. > > > Doug > On 2012-02-08, at 8:21 AM, Lawrence Upton wrote: > > >> A woman and a man, grey-haired, long-limbed, >> walking along the shoreline, away from the rising sun.
