Can't wait for the fall, #1. But we have to look to the poets to give us a 'view' of these things no one sees, or those things we all see but miss the beauty of. Duke's weekly poems have something to offer; I keep saying he should put one of his own on there, but if enough fans keep checking out his selections, maybe there will be a groundswell.....Duke, keep it comin', man......Mutt Ploughmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886850428991826645noreply@blogger.com
