You have a wonderful ear for poetry, Andrew. Your rhythmic inventiveness always pleases. This one has the romantic nostalgia of something written in the last century - you share your regret with warmth and a fine attention to detail. Excellent write. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Another wonderfully inspiring write, Andrew. It's always a bit sad to remember, fondly, things from the past, knowing the newer generations will not appreciate their significance.I suppose the last generation probably felt the same way. An enjoyable read, indeed. Thank you. Richard
