I look forward to reporting them to Doris.<br /><br />UB: at one time Doris and - what she calls the three P's -Paul, Penne and Pat were the only ones left of a writing circle.

I like the wistful and somehow joyous nature of the first one and the giggle that should accompany the second one.<br /><br />Poetry seems to have a resurgence of interest nowadays.

Two blog poets thrill me but one has ceased blogging and I miss her. Did you ever read Talon? Another has emerged who I enjoy a great deal. Ashok is on my sidebar.<br /><br />Your friend has obviously lived in a time gone by that wrapped her in the beauty of nature.

I was uncertain about the other poem, partly because I've never been convinced that anybody actually hears the call of the curlew except in poetry, but then I realised that Doris probably manages to get out a lot more than I do.Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-47340042215544296032012-10-17T06:34:07.478+01:002012-10-17T06:34:07.478+01:00Pat, it's no about bravery hen, it's about...Pat, it's no about bravery hen, it's about confidence.
