Tracy,

The reality of nature and the metaphors abound. You took me on a walk into the healing wilderness. Marcel

Tracy,
It's the visuals and the specifics of your poems that capture me. And the humor? What's to say. Marcel

Nine purple grapes adorn the dish,
Ignore the butter and the bread,  
As if it matters to the fish.
Nine purple grapes adorn the dish.

Ignore the butter and the bread.
