How is it......

.......that I, on the edge of the time zones, am the first to comment on this little gem? I felt sure someone would beat me to it. I'm proud to recommend it in the PFDF and give 5. Every word aids the visual, nothing is superfluous. I'm not usually one for hyperbole but it's close to perfection for me.

Tess is right. This is exquisite. I like the economy of words. Yet they say so much. I felt like I was looking at a still life painting.

The true sign of a fine poem is taking the reader with you, just with words. This piece does that effortlessly, well done!
