Hi Dale, This caught my attention because Tw"i"la is my mother's name. She indeed did wear jeans and was a gorgeous woman in her youth. I read your fun, sensuous poem to her, and it made her laugh in a way that reminded me of her lively manner before her mind began to slip away. I am so thankful that she was able to enjoy it. You may not have known it, but you gave both of us a beautiful gift. Thank you so much! I wanted also to comment on your poem titled, Long Gone, but for some reason, the comment page would not come up for me. It is especially emotional to me because of the image that you painted so vividly of the cowboy's rugged, and yet tender heart. It is a lovely poem, Dale. Love and Hugs, Mindy |
