It's been a long time since I've heard from you Endy but I believe that I don't have a right to complain as I have also been away for a long time, and only periodically dropping in.
Anyways, it's pleasant to hear this from you.
Quote:I try writing poetry that's more abstract - but it always goes back to being more like a 'story'
And that's exactly what's envious about your poems, no kidding.
They have an intensity in them that I have never really found in any other writer's words......especially the one you wrote about the kid living on the street -- the third one on your People's thread.
Keep writing.
Later
