The Other Side of the World
Sara,
I finally read all 60 pages of The Other Side of the World! I really liked the whole idea behind the theme; the verse was really good; and this e-book deserves to be publicized to a wider audience . . .
As I read your contributions to the book … I especially enjoyed "Fingers,” Child," "A Realtor's Visitor," "Neck Deep," "Your Love (To Jason)," "Pizza Choosing," "Snail Dinner," and "Cat Mother" (Samantha's sad death).
Of Sally's, I especially liked her nature verses -- "Moonrise over Home," "Winter Kissed," "Terza Rima," and her "Acrostic" about you. For Carole, I made copies of Sally's dog and cat verses --"Appreciation," "Love's Reflection," and "Kitten Hyde."
