      oh lori,
      I already have a poem offered by you in bel's contest ... so I am more than happy and spoiled than I can wish for ...
      how wonderful to even think of writing another one, given the fact that, as a mother of 8 children, you have certainly more important things to do than to spoil your friends as abundantly as you already do ...
      your visit on this page is already a perfect birthday-gift for me ...

        sometimes, this body looks like 7 (when it's being silly ), sometimes like 77 (when it's tired and grunchy ), and mostly, something in between ...
        not reliable, those bodies, they don't translate the soul's age faithfully, really ... otherwise, this one here would look like a dinosaur ...

        enough joking, thank you so much for your sweet wishes !

    Jean-Marc. It is a pleasure to meet you and I am honored by the invitation. No need to apologize for the lateness. I will try to do my best to get it in before tomorrow when the contest closes. Sometimes real life just gets in the way of me wanting to "create"
    Merci again[and you have a beautiful and very loving wife}. It took no time for her to find a spot in my heart

      ps. I saw that b chandler's contest has been deleted ... would you mind posting the poem you had submitted there yesterday, "her golden dawn", into jean-marc's contest as your second entry ? I opened the option of several entries per poet already ...
