What a great idea, Elizabeth! Congratulations for launching this, and lucky us, to get to enjoy your poems every week. Thank you for sharing in this way! I've always loved your poetry, and these first two poems reminded me why! So many lines I read that I think YES! that is exactly what rosemary scent on your hands is like! Or a clutch of sleek, loud millennials planning start up strategy or a cyber coup (and you always make me chuckle, too)! Looking forward to the weekly installments.
In our small cluster of six cousins, Elizabeth received a high percentage of the raw writing talent. She took that and worked hard to build her own unique voice. I for one am glad she is carrying my share of the family poetic burden! David
Rereading this now from your other rosemary post. Very good. I started on Substack two weeks after you, we're in the same class, high class.
and some poets have a sense of humor too.
Dearest Elizabeth--I walk right into your poems, breathe deeply, listen carefully, visualize widely, appreciate completely. Thank you!

Love your word pictures Elizabeth! So creative—looking forward to next Wednesday!
Yes! I’m glad I came! You had me in the scene with your beautiful words. Thank you.
I was standing at the bus stop with you

Came to support my Aunt, staying for the great poetry and insight. I can't wait for more.
Such talent, Elizabeth. What you write, I feel. That's the highest compliment I can think of!
