Not bad poems and show that who wrote them had poetic talent. It is a shame that a good information about them is hard to find. Thanks for sharing.

Aw thanks LeeAnn :-) so glad you find these little discoveries as fabulous as I do! And thanks for the vote of confidence on the reply poems - it wasn’t ever planned to be a part of the newsletter, but it has stuck around. :-)

I love how your poem picks up after the first one by Charl. I don't know if I expect a wind reference, but the tightness of the skin of trees may be just that? It's beautiful!

Aw thanks Pilgrim, appreciate it! Yeah, I feel like the wind is in mine too - the blown glass has a reference as well :-)

I love your poem Dick. It feels like when you listen to a sad song deliberately to make yourself have a good cry. Or is that just me today? ❤️❤️
