Read MoreNot really. My needs are your needs. Eating,sleeping,spreading seeds. It's that simple for other creatures. Not humans. We've turned our search for food into something more than the need to fuel our bodies. We've turned sleeping into the search for a more salubrious environment to...

That is an interesting way to think about the needs that a person have is the same as the animal in the wild. Life is too complicated. Nice piece here, Peter

Poppies, Sails ’n Dreams
O’er Gulf of Maine’s blue, a gull soars high ’n free …
poppy blessed Isles of Shoals scattered far below.
As a sail-rigged skiff slips silently alee,
days-of-yore dreams through my voyager’s soul flow.Richard Jenkins

First, the way you displayed the piece is beautiful. Every stanza starts off with asking to be allowed to bring her closer to you.
This is just perfect-

A good Wednesday morning to ya, Fia 🌼
It is sooo nice to begin the day with such inspiring words from a knowing poetess’ radiantly heart-gifted pen.
To receive commentary so warmly laid (as Yours) upon one of my earnest poetic efforts means more than mere thanks … you make me wish I had an endless supply of stardust to sprinkle over every grim moment of all your days and nights.And, you seem to possess a gift of grasping the true essence of my poetry; rare few do … and, it makes me feel special.
Then, I am truly humbled you think this piece is “perfect” … thank you, Fia ⁓ Rascal🖌
