There are few things more endearing than children performing in earnest.

But what a great poem you made of it!

Nothing like a confident angel to offer some reassurance. Glad you liked it, Weston.

Loved loved loved this poem! Says so much. On Sunday I introduced a novelist and a poet and moderated a discussion at a local library and sure enough the angel showed up—and it was ok.

Hurray for the angel! I'm glad (and not a bit surprised) that they showed up for you. Thanks for reading, Marlena.
