Yes, this is the great Harley White, which one day will be be revealed as one one of the most intelligent and down to earth poetess of all time!
Ah, there you are again, Bill, with your unfaltering support for my work! I have no words to express my gratitude for your noticing my ongoing poetic efforts! Thank you so very much!
