For those of you interested in going back and rereading any of the poems that I've posted, I put together an archive. It will also help me not post duplicates, as you can see that I have a couple of times. I will try to keep it updated and repost it each month.
Thanks for participating in these threads, you've made what started as an exercise in pain into a daily joy for me and have given me a place in the lounge to call my own.
Thank you...
