Re: Spring-Loaded.

The explosions of colour and vitality in this lovely spring poem are
truly amazing Fay. I an't believe the imagery you have created with

An interesting analysis of your dream . Dreams are often at two ends of

ignore both roads at night, and make your decision in the cool light
