Thank you, Richard, for your always enlightening and interesting posts which have helped me in my enjoyment of poetry, and of life. You’ve introduced me to new works that I may have never read otherwise, even some that I didn’t particularly take to! May you have great success and enjoyment in whatever you will be doing and I hope that will always in good health and contentment.
Peter … thank you for your interest in my Site over many years … and your acknowledgment and comments … may you continue to absorb more meaning to life by your interest in words … and I wish you all health and happiness as you continue in that wonderful experience of knowing life in its amazing wonder … best, Richard
