Chuckling here, so you see the error too… great eye. This was written during one sitting – stream of conscious – pretty much as shown.

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly!!!
A huge 💥CONGRATULATIONS💥 to you on your excellent Win! 🏆No one paints wondrously vivid, deeply emotional, metaphorically enthralling Free Verse imagery more magically brilliant, via the endlessly colored medium of creative articulation ⁓ than YOU!
And, no one’s poetry excites and enthralls my depths more thoroughly than Yours. You’re a True Master Poetess – in every sense of the words. I’ve always enviously admired your incomparably original skills with a pen.Your first two verses alone made of me a living, breathing voyeur to the captivating ambiance and verisimilitude in your moment’s reality … I mean, truly, I was there ~ even when the snow began silently falling.
I couldn’t be prouder of and happier for you, Dear Kelly, always … hugs! ⁓ Richard🖌

I, too, have always been thankful for You, Kelly 🍷
I joined the Café in 2005 as Rascal, and rejoined in 2017 as Richard, and it was then (9-years past) we shared our first poems, and I’ve been smitten ever since.✨

“my heart became a voyager to the past”
Some writers don’t need (don’t use) huge words to try and hide their mediocre poetry with glossy accessories. You don’t.
You are incredibly effective talking to the reader in a language we all can follow fluidly. That is skill. You have it.
Truly rewarding reading your material every time. -

There’s a quiet enchantment here—how the simple act of listening becomes a journey, a communion with voices long gone. I love how the snowfall mirrors the unfolding of the words, each line falling gently yet leaving a lasting trace. The poem makes memory, literature, and presence feel alive at once…..Great to see you here.

It comes exactly when it means to. Sometimes when we’re not looking. Beautiful poem

Exactly, Willow. And, I think too, this “unexpected love” is or becomes the love of your life!! Thanks for your kind words, Willow, you and they are much appreciated.

Both beautiful and brilliant… and when it’s unexpected it’s more fulfilling and overwhelming… and… right.

Okay, this is one of those writes that makes you sit and just let it seep in. This is so good.
