I sat down in the garden with your book, intending to read a few poems a day.
However, the poems were so captivating, I read the entire book in one sitting!
I really enjoyed the depth of emotion conveyed in the
Love is Bitch poems, and from the Tales & Other Stories section, The Hummingbird and the Lizard was my favorite.
Thanks for such an engaging read, which made for a lovely day!
Looking forward to your next Book!
