Bravo!!! Color is a real turn-on for me.
So much so, that I am working on a poetry
collection with a color theme. Wish I
had written this one! Pea <3

Tommy,

Once again from your pen comes another classic. I often think of the bonding and love that go into a patchwork quilt and you remind us that life is a lot like one - full of diversity and meaning.

Beautiful, colorful write my friend!

Oh, Tommy... what a glorious array of life's beauty and truths. When you are inspired, it becomes poetry with the words that nestle in the heart and bathe the brain. As I sit with my morning coffee, reading this, I feel nearly giddy for the hope this brings. I must save this to my library... so filled with my own bright thoughts, it is. Thank you. You have made my day! katy xox.
