   i like the way you put words together. look forward to reading more. last night i come upon some writing from a long time ago. it always amazes me when i see my writing. it feels like someone else composed the poetry. i find it moe meaningful long after it has been written and put out of my mind. somehow it make it more worldly then my own.

      Yes, if only we had the patience to taste our words first and let them age long enough. Personally I expect to feel the same emotions anytime my poem and I meet again. Thanks for your great reaction.

         i love the idea of tasting one’s poem. they are so filled with the senses, why not taste. they do need to age. i find that when i come back to something i’ve written a while ago, it feels different . almost as if someone else wrote it.

         From your profile I notice that you are a human of many trades and experiences, good and bad. It was you that I thought of reading these words from a fellow poet: ‘Nothing I do, nothing I have done, nothing that has been done to me, impacts my value.” Hugs, my beloved one.

   Talking about leaving poems to age. Some cooked food do taste better staying frozen for days. “Sweat-soaked faces moving on”, I can picture it. Nice.

      Some of my poems are 20+ yrs old. Talking about aging… You are familiar with hot tropical temperatures, right? We’re talking 30 degrees celsius here 🙂

         I am not familiar with tropical weather but in China, we used to have over 30 degrees sometimes in summer.hehe.

         Combine that with high humidity and you’ll be sweating buckets 🙂
