I really liked Connie's poem; rarely has coitus ever been so vivid, yet classical and abstract too. You are bang on, she is a powerful poet. Thanks to you my poetry book shelf is filling up, and all of it comprises a motley crew of muses for my own writing. Your description of your gentle collaboration with these three lady poets is wonderful. One day soon when I retire and take off the yoke of this white collar, I will seek out poetry slams and readings and open mics. My training as an actor should be preparation for delivery of my verse, and my 65 years will add the spice the poetry of my youth was missing.<br /><br />GlennGlenn Buttkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680725814199700692noreply@blogger.com
