I commented in here for Poetry Thursday during the past few weeks. Before that, I also commented because we already read many of the same poetry sites.<br />I've long enjoyed your work. :)<br /><br /> For example, I think I first saw your comments on Floots' site and decided to visit. Or was that Andrews? Or Dsnake's? Perhaps, I should have chronicled why my brain cells are declining in number instead of my painting process. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13825130.post-88310941904534754892007-01-29T07:54:00.000+05:302007-01-29T07:54:00.000+05:30There is a lot there, though you say you are not s...There is a lot there, though you say you are not satisfied with it.
