of women's erotica? Reading your poems is like receiving love letters slid under the door. Not the IMPORTANT WORKS to be lectured about and forced to write papers about but the enjoyable kind one reads and has some chocolates with. And all the better for it.

Craig, this is so tender it makes my heart ache. ~A "You begin saving the world by saving one person at a time; all else is grandiose romanticism or politics." Charles Bukowski

Winsomely tender poetry Craig. Particularly liked 'clarity sliding like a scimitar' which is exactly how it feels Cheers Tania

bent like the beauty of the keel in the heel of the lower tide awake when sleep divides the dream from the dreamers when drama of the day waits for dawns soft distance for the dark song of birds before the light I have watched the moon of valiant rest Beautiful Poem Craig!!!

Just had to add my congrats to you for the spotlight and the chance to read something so elegant.Gee.

Lovely to see you here in spotlight Craig & well deserved with this write as well, I have been so preoccupied I have delayed comment... & this moves me almost to tears, it is so lovely...
