Pat, Thank you for that beautiful necklace of phrase-song, it caressed my throat like the fingers of a woman I thought I might never see again.

I never comment. My energies are better directed towards other things, like a BBQ. Yet, this landed on my skin and I can’t scrape it off. I love it

Patricia,
thanks for this generous sampling of lines for the place that I miss at this time of year, every year now. So much to savor in the sprouting and bloom of a line, its breaks, its image and the way it saturates the reader’s memory.
