Hi Terry! Excellent. Not that I am a critic. Great read!
Hello to you...Terry Donovan,
.....i was shuffling through., me own pages...Then returned home.
Noticed the title of your poem.., it drew me in...
.....i'am glad..it did...Your poem, felt wonderful...to read.
Your writting gives me a strong sense of a monologue... I don't know if it's done on purpose, but it's very unique. A poem that feels like a conversation...
