    I am inspired by your poem that is titled Self-Portrait At 28, hence i am that kind of a person who is self-motivated. I also compose poems in my spare time, hence you can visit my website on the following address. Your correspondence will be highly appreciated.

    Have a nice day!

    Yours sincerely.

I wish I had written down the title. I loved the work. Thank you. It is for poems like this that I live and breathe.

and my wife sat on the couch and read the paper out loud.

The evening edition carried the magic death of a child
backlit by a construction site sunrise on its front page.
