How often when alone
When questioning the value
Of the lines
I so needed to write,
Has a sentence come
From a Poemhunter reader
A sentence
Which made me believe
If only for a self- deceptive instant
That what I write
Really might mean something
To another.
Thank you so much
So many kind readers-
And don’t blame me too much please
For hoarding my writing time
Not reading your lines yet
With the generosity and grace
With which you have read mine.
