I'm sorry Gem., I was wrong in using the word
'compared' when truthfully it just made the Poet
think of >>Beatles 'Strawberry fields'?<< so please
don't think I'm puffing myself up to the level of
McCarthy and Lennon...*smile* But am I happy that
my words made another think of 'Strawberry Fields',
yes of course while still knowing I'm not
on that level...*grin* SP :)
