How Many Knocks?

A moment of quiet, in this frozen house,
Breathe it in, while you can.
He's coming back at about 4: 05pm,

    oh criminy, now I see why Elys told me to read you.
    She says hello. This is write that appeals on several layers.
    skill, emotion, the inclination for a reader to urge the underdog on to victory...
    well done, poet

    Duncan,

    You poems bring inspiration to me, as I'm sure they do for many others. The subject of a dream that seems real intrigues me. I've had several myself that I do believe are messages.

    Duncan, I looked at the size of this poem in dismay and said oh, help. But as I started to read, the message became ever so clear as one line ran into another. I read with the pace of a galloping horse across a meadow free. I couldn't stop for fear of falling before I reached the end. And when I reached the end the message read to me, was that of a magnificent poem of family unity. WOW, this was long as it was beautifully painted all the way. Thanks for pointing me in its direction today.
