I always look someone in the eyes just to see who's at home inside. Often it is a great delight what I receive in return - especially from the kind of people you describe here. Good write! <br /><br />BTW, I've opened up all my Friday poems for links if you or any other poet friends have any in the similar subject. Take a look on The Social Poets under the tab at the top for Blog Carnivals and see what fits you probably already have written and send me the links. I put all my posts into search engines so I get a lot of reads for months and months on just one poem. Amazing, the internet! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02241236746343420066noreply@blogger.com
