<p>Thank you so very much for sharing your very lyrical and poetically conceived poem with me. I very much like the way you bring your ideas together, using poetic techniques that emphasize, not only the words themselves, but the sounds of the words – giving your poem a rhythmic and musical quality. There is real intensity to be felt in your words, thoughts, and ideas. I will add your poem to the many others I am considering for Featured Poem of the Month for July. Thank you for your interest in poetladykatz.com – Susan</p>
