Sigh! This is simply glorious Bob. I loved the 'citrus segment' of the moon. You are a true artist and have painted such wonderful pictures in my mind. I hope that my mind won't be empty but filled with the images of your poem as I embrace a sleep of dreams. Top marks! Karin Anderson

Peaceful, natural and convincing images I find myself drawn to Mr Blackwell. A skilfully piece of poetic sketching which had a genuinely relaxing effect on this reader. A pleasure to read and contemplate. Thank you. jim (PS It was a much more leisurely and decent world too. We've lost a lot in the last few decades.)
