I'm smiling today. Recognition this morning for my little poems in the form of an Award (!) from farmlady, who tends a colorful, creative blog (photos, poems, thoughtful writing) at Overgoodground.blogspot.com (definitely worth a long visit!). Thank you, farmlady. You made my day.

You're welcome. You deserved it. Have you ever gone to a Berkeley poetry reading? I did, years ago. You should try one. Your poems are great!!!
Your poetry award is well deserved. You have some beautiful work. Do you ever submit it to contests? I've won a few small ones, including a few from CA, and I would highly recommend you send your work out if you're at all inclined.
I'm curious about the poets you read. I really enjoy Robert Wrigley's work. And Mary Oliver always welcomes me back to the "real" world (as your poetry does).
Cheers. :)

I like Oliver too, and Adrienne Rich, Stafford, Collins, Milosz, Szymborska, lots of them (will have to check into Wrigley, thanks).
As for getting my stuff out there, thanks but all a poem really needs is a reader, and you'll do quite nicely :-)
