Thank you to each one of you for sharing your thoughts! Call of the Sandhill Crane was written during a very dark winter when I particularly missed those cranes. Yolanda, you rock!!! You're so awesome, and I can't thank you enough for everything you did! Julie, I just want to encourage you. If you have a heart for wanting to write poetry I just want to encourage you to be open to that in the privacy of your journal, and - as a friend has told me many times, and still tells me - "fire the judge!" You will be glad you did and it will open many new doors! Thank you everyone for the compliments on my painting, also. It's called Circle of Light. Never give up on your dreams, no matter how long it seems to take. All my best to each one of you!!!Cindy Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802301447113194227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-30270595318354607242014-01-17T23:01:11.479-05:002014-01-17T23:01:11.479-05:00Congrats to Cindy!

Especially if you need to trying and decipher what the heck you just read. However, Cindy's poetry dances with work that are enticing and I appreciate that. As for me, I leave any pawetry to Penny! :)<br /><br />Have a peaceful weekend, Yolanda.<br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794648014067102242.post-3737346818326298672014-01-17T16:36:08.816-05:002014-01-17T16:36:08.816-05:00I admire people who write poetry.
