Re: HI Shobana
Shobana I try to drink decaffinated coffee, because it is easier than tea bags and not so messy, mind you don't get a boost from it, but that's life. How nice to have parents that are so devoted, one only has to feel it. I thought it was in hospital by the tag on your dad's wrist. I know it must be a trying time for you all. Thank you for liking.

Re: Cake
Thank you jfm32. One wonders when the world applauds, if one stands alone and dare not whisper. 'I'm not sure.' Not particulary in the above case, but in a lot of Art.  Thank you for your explanation, refreshing.

My Goodness CC, you have outdone yourself. Smoke is just smoking and the wedding speaks so much to me. I really loved the messages that both the poems carry.

Thank you for the visit and I am glad you liked the angels. It's my mom and dad with dad in the hospital. I went grocery shopping over the weekend looking for coffee but all of them said instant or 3 in 1 or something other that wit giving. Now I hope that you find your wit with your morning coffee and it is a compulsion I must say as it is what makes your writing so unique.

Dear Mr Cake. I quite agree that time is money so why is it always "in the mail?" I think maybe I should have my face on a postage stamp. About Dylan Thomas, there are only 2 I realy, realy like --and the ones he's most known for--DON'T WALK GENTLY INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT, AND THE GREEN FUSE. I thought I would find more in his other poems but didn't. That's when I started thinking on another scale.

It's said that everyone has 1 good novel in themesels. In DT's case, he writes 2 poems that connects to the universality within ourselves, and that's quite something. These 2 poems were worth the price of the book, but I don't see how these two poems are conected to the body of his work. But that's the price of a single poem, and when words can soar beyond their rafters.

What a great line:

At least if we carry on in the same direction, sorrow is halved.

KUDOS!!!! sam

Happiness is all that matters Kabu, well to most people, some like to go to sleep, is that eleven o'clock. Pleasant dreams.  I've got to cover my plants up ground frosts.

I am the bull that roared......but was it like the toothless lion?
Loneliness is a terrible thing as is mourning the dead for the rest of your life...well one does but not excessively for that is not living. BUT HOW CAN I TALK twice married for all the wrong reasons, at last married for the best.
