Hey, Poppy...
don't know if you're reading this, since you posted your intense poem so long ago. I have so seldom visit this particular forum and in fact had forgotten about it! I just followed one of our new posters and discovered your name... and with great excitement.
I do hope you'll return. So much has happened in the years in between.
I've always loved your writing... and interaction.
deLighting in the prospect again, Daniel
