Mary, This may well be the best poem of yours that I've read on this site. The craftsmanship is excellent, the images clear and crisp and the journey magical. A fine and lovely poem. With warm regards, Hugh

Another non-rhyming winner, Mary! You took an ordinary image and related to human nature in an extraordinary way. I'm so proud of you!

I love the thought you put into this poem and ofcourse the descriptions.. Lovely Preets
