Hi Roger (I posted a reply over there at my place and now I'll post it here, I feel like I've swum across the Atlantic to post to you twice!!  That was a quick swim and I'm not even tired.)

Your poem is EXCELLENT AND RHYMEY!!

The first thing that came to my mind, as I say to ALL writers/mind-artists:

"YOU should NEVER be a physical servant of anyone or anything on this earth!"

The last idea I had near the end was the "far too wet" reminded me of the one and only time I went skiing at age 16, it was far too snowy/wet and much too much frequency of falling in the snow and getting wet.

You sound like you've worked too much at unappreciated difficulties, but this one poem is the crowning glory of all your years of the labors that were beneath you.  It was well worth it!!

Welcome everyone.

It's what makes those hours of hard toil, with the pen, worth it.

Sorry, If I'm honest most of my poetry is written quickly.

But seriously, when people enjoy them it inspires.

Thank you for visiting and for your loving comments.

Roger

Amanda,

I really must get to Ireland myself.

Having done research, my name comes from Donnegal which is the Northern most point of Eire.

I am sure Kerie enjoyed some nice weather. We have been so lucky this spring.
