One word can stick like a thorn for years until someone pulls it and gives it new meaning. Your poem is a buffet. I'll savor it, one link at a time.Brenda at FriendlyFairyTaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368709489341876324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2599471237636371761.post-68424635799431441622018-04-29T19:16:28.961-07:002018-04-29T19:16:28.961-07:00Wow.
