For my part, I greatly appreciate the fact that you continue to visit.<br /><br />Your comment about two kinds of poems is a fine one -- sometimes I find myself returning too often to the former, and I have to remind myself to keep searching for the latter as well.<br /><br />I wholly agree with you about "Abersoch."

Yes, I wonder about "rumours of life" as well -- an interesting phrase, isn't it? I think that perhaps the "rumours" in the end turn out to be life.Stephen Pentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882220887712092005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-9732918741246942462011-05-05T09:10:20.557-07:002011-05-05T09:10:20.557-07:00"Rumors of life" is very thought-provoki..."Rumors of life" is very thought-provoking.
