Dear Donna, I am very happy about your kind visit to my Den. In turn I visited your Den and your achievement are quite impressive. I am very happy to find your poem "high-centered double blooms", particularly since I have a garden and I love growing flowers.
I love flowers, not in bouquets
Alive, not cut in any ways
I care for them, give them room
In return they show me their bloom.
Love Emile
A beautiful rose just as you are, Donna...I've seen your poetry over the years bloom into beautiful petals in literary waters, and I've seen you write about thorny issues...it's always a pleasure to read your intellectual work...I'm proud to be in your garden DQ~
