    Nice poem Michael, albeit I did drop in to your poems to make me laugh, but find instead a sad poem about crying! Aarrrgghhhaaaaaaa!
    No matter, my visit was well worthwhile, to find yet another thoughtful classic penned by one of my favourite poets.
    Simply magic Michael, simply magic!

      I know what you mean, if we all write the same nothing will ever change. Words are like clay and should be molded in any way...
