Bless the fonder that still grows on the absent-hearted fields! I’ve always loved that line, and this poem makes me love it even more.

I could write a sonnet

about your albatross bonnet

with all the flowers on it

at the Easter parade.

Loved your concert last night. With the bright white full moon outside and your bright light inside Taft Theater, your concert awoke a part of me that had fallen asleep while I watch tv and play computer games every evening.

I'll be in the audience tonight, but across years and miles the same, always feel connection forged by your magic words ❤️

Wonderful poem. One teensy tiny spelling correction. Sowed, not sewed, for seeds.

Happens to me all the time. Just proves you didn’t use AI.
