Writing It Off
I sometimes wonder what I'm doing writing all this drivel, troubling others with problems that should remain dignified and private. Why bother when...

A great picture of how it was
Posted on Sun, 05 Jul 2015
A great picture of how it was - taking care of reality - seen through the eyes of someone who also hoped for better.

You capture the composite
Posted on Sat, 04 Jul 2015
You capture the composite scene so brilliantly here, Luigi, and the viewer's own feelings on interpreting what he sees. Reading it, I had a strong feeling that it would work / read better broken into stanzas. But that's not your style, and who am...

Perfect meter, and a

The picture tells a big story
Posted on Wed, 17 Jun 2015
