Re: Sinome
Hi Sinome. I am so pleased that you enjoyed the poem. I tried to stay as true as possible to the original fairy tale. It was not always easy, but the task was fulfilling. At times I felt that I was sewing those little shirts myself. Again, thank you for your kind words of praise for my work.
Joe

wow!!!. Joseph...thank you so much. Do you remember when as a child your mom or someone dear would tell you a fairytale just before going to sleep and cut it down into chapters to make the storytelling time more quick? And do you recall how excited you would wait for the next night story to come? Well you made me feel like that again, like a little girl expecting the next chapter with such anticipation. I fought the urge to go to Grim's original... I wanted you to finish it and tonight you did! Thanks again :-) It was beautiful!!!
