The work of a poetic savant. No less than genius, a poetic puzzle box that, when connected properly, reveals a treasure.

And spring always follows winter as good always follows bad, those blue eyes have pierced your writing for so many years now…
I like your e.e.cummings brackets, they add something, they show your moments of hesitation and reflected ideas. I like it.

One can never spend enough time looking at the sky — always above and yet sometimes not noticed. Of course this sky is partly metaphorical (a lovely sky to consider also, though).

Well, whatever it is. Notice, I say.

This is the beauty woven by Mr. Squires hands that blot out the bleakness of the downside of the upside. Another lovely expression Paul. 🙂
