You see Ray, I do see poetry in how you write; in your sentence structure, in the words you choose and the free form in which it is arranged on the page. I do envy those who are adept in writing and in the reflection their words express to those of us who read them. You are right that art comes in many forms. How one opens up to others' ideas, feelings be it pain or happiness, is a gift that we all can share. I am lucky ( for lack of a better word ) to be able to feel words that others express even though I do not share the talent that you among others have. Maybe there is indeed room for those who watch as well as for those whom we enjoy? Keep sending your observations written so well to all of us and to me if you have the time Ray.. * seattle * Audrey friend of pwp aussie John 49/42/38?
