A friend who read some poems commented, "They don't write poetry like that anymore. I like them." That remark meant so much to me as he was a respected author who is held in high regard, not just because of his works, but because he is a gentleman in the real sense of the word. If I was unsure about publishing before his comment, but after that, doubt flew out the window. Where doubt went, I don't know and don't care.
Whether you like my poetry,...
