[> Subject: Re: Water Birth Author: Jessica [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:53:11 12/10/07 Mon Your turn to instruct me! I've never heard of a Renga. I feel like I need so many words and space to get what I want to say articulated, and looking at this lovely work of yours amazes me. It's amazingly delicate and perfectly balanced. "Dark skies bloat with seed" ....that is an amazingly inventive description. Wow. No cliches here! (grins) Love it, Max! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Thanks so much for your wonderful comments, they are very much appreciated. Ido like how short forms make you think that little bit more about your words. Max [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
