Hi Sue Storts,
I often wonder what a spouse would be like growing old in a funk, needing a push to keep living. You did that for me – such love!

Your poem, like one of my own (The Maypole) gives me memories of the pure, uncondemned freedom of joy and fun! The imagery kept me in the air. Good job!

Thank you cristywatson,

I really appreciate your comments, they are truly encouraging.

ManDrama,

Thank God for the live writing pad that the Poetry Marathon provides, livestreaming like surfing on the massive sea, never having time to worry if you’ll ever reach the shore. It was soooo effervescent!

I am there and accounted for; thanks Caitlin and hubby, the ride was less bumpy this time, but the view was spectacular!
