Thanks

This morning's poem was intended to be additional to my regular daily post, but I'm deeply grateful for the warm response to it and find I have little else to say today. I don't expect poems to receive more than two or three comments, even if they're good, even if they're what I like writing the most.

For music buffs, on the way to the gym the "Saturday Night Waltz" from Aaron Copland's Rodeo, an old favourite, came on the radio and struck me at once as the perfect companion for the poem. The same sense of sublimated longing. Okay, it's schmaltzy.

Now I have to go finish cleaning, because Danny's coming.
