<I>contest...... was BEYOND WORDS :)) one of the few times in my life that I </I></div> <div> <I>was lost for words !!!.....I could only gasp ... being astounded, stunned </I></div> <div> <I>and very, very delighted !!! I thank you so much for the opportunity.</I></div> <div> <I>Please select what you feel best from the following for the comment to add </I></div> <div> <I>to the poem:</I></div> <div> <I>My Dad inspired my love of books. My abiding memory is of him leaning over </I></div> <div> <I>his little table, a little light on, intent on his reading, surrounded by </I></div> <div> <I>cats, which he stroked intermittenty and absent-mindedly.</I></div> <div> <I>People are naturally poetic. It is a natural necessity for people. We </I></div> <div> <I>think metaphorically. We explore words. Dylan Thomas said he could taste </I></div> <div> <I>words. I also see words in colour.</I></div> <div> <I>The quotes you circulate are inspirational poetry, 'the little winking </I></div> <div> <I>Byronic lights' (Auden ?) or the 'passing on the torch' (my Dad). I feel </I></div> <div> <I>privileged to share a presence on your site with those who inspire </I></div> <div> <I>generations.</I></div> <div> <I>You have given me the boost of confidence I needed to continue writing. </I></div> <div> <I>So....watch this space.....I'll let you have any more great news on this </I></div> <div> <I>front :))</I></div> <div> <I>In return, thankyou for those sentiments and I wish you the same ...
