It's great that you are still with us Melissa, I really enjoy reading your petry. You really have a way with words, and it's like you can write about anything. It's also nice to read some 'adult' peotry rather than teenage poetry. The quality in language is so much better, and that's what I like, expanding my vocabulary. Although I didn't have to look up any words, I had to read the lines over again. Well done Melissa!
