  2. Yes Mary - thanks - it needs a bit of work, but I'm just road testing it for now - it'll be gone in a few days...

  3. It has reached an intense ending this poem, very earthy and "soily",
    great.
    Best wishes, Davide

  5. Warmest congraulations - hope you are proud! of yourself you should be! (Not least of all for those lovely kids!)

    'Earth has its own smell, a musty humus,
    as the whump and slither of a spade sucks up
    new sods, whacked quickly to submission, white roots'

    this is beautiful - loved the whole poem of course ... but these lines especially.
