Let me be the first to congratulate you! Definitely the silver lining of an otherwise swampy and overcast day on which to wake up at the ungodly hour of 7:50 AM...
Beautiful poem. And I'm in a grouchy mood this morning. I wouldn't say that if I didn't mean it!
Yes, a fine poem. I posted a link to it over at The Muse.
I adore this poem. Congrats!
Congratulations, Paul.
That's a good one!
This is a gorgeous poem. I cannot wait to start reading your second book.
Don't know if you are aware, Paul, but Regina Spektor is going to be in Atlanta soon.
Lovely Paul. Just lovely. I really enjoyed reading Notes . . . by the way.
Yes, love-ly.
That's the word I was going to use, too.
The whole poem is love-ly.
But this snippet, this handful of words are the ones that won't let go of me:
"your body careless and dreaming"
A divine wind, indeed.
a beauty, that
