    1. VV definitely uses interesting images. Sometimes the words flow out so easily and other times I can’t relate to the image at all. I do love the writing that is shared there.

  8. Say Ali, For some reason I’m unable to see the poem.  You write to say click, but then it takes me to advertisements.  Please help.  You know I love reading your words! Fredda

      1. Oh my dearest Ali. This gripped my heart. Although my son is still local, I remember the day he decided to head to Europe and not return. My heart sank, but let him go. It was painful, but it was necessary. As you can tell, it didn’t work out, but at least he got to taste a new kind of freedom and adventure.
