Dick, thank you for the offering here. It's only made possible by your listening to the voices of other poets with real reverence and taking a quiet seat among them.
I can definitely see how these poems could have inspired your lovely tradition of adding your own poetry at the end.
At least a couple of times as I was reading it, I heard "wtf!" come out of my mouth (not very poetic, I know) , simply because I was in awe of how well these poems work. There are different levels to them and each level works well, and together it's incredible. Thanks for (re-)introducing this guy!
Yeah, I think it was a build up of the first eight posts altogether - and then Daly was the catalyst. :-) I think in a way, "wtf" is the most poetic response of all haha. So glad they resonated hard with you. 🖤 Wonderful stuff. Happy new year to you and yours Hasse! Hope you're having a lovely start to the year.
Yeah, 'On A Hill' is a special one for sure! I love the 'silence of silence' and 'desire of desire' opening. So good. Aw - you're very welcome Rod. Thanks as always for reading and sharing. Super appreciated. x

What a treasury!
Cheers Mary :-) So glad you enjoyed them.

That is well expressed. Maybe your poems at the end were bound to happen, sooner or later.
Thank you, friend. Happy new year to you and yours too! I wish us both a year of poetry and other good things. :)
Right back atcha Hasse 🖤 Here's to a year of poetic and life loveliness.
Oh, Daly's poems are gorgeous. And yours is such a lovely companion to them.
Thanks Margaret - yeah, Daly is a gem 🖤 Aw cheers - it was nice to go back and look at the first reply poems I did.
On a Hill is so beautifully written. Thanks for sharing this again and for your continued work, Dick!
