You seem to give each other a lot of room, which makes for rich conversation. <br /><br />It is easy to see you as the princess, walking past him through swinging doors. Walking to him, too. <br /><br />This is a very poignant piece. Thank you for sharing it with us. <br /><br />Love<br />ClaireClaire Beynonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005365677016923903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205011361740478772.post-6755055722492420122010-05-05T07:40:51.359-07:002010-05-05T07:40:51.359-07:00A snapshot in someone's life told through the ...A snapshot in someone's life told through the power of poetry. Many thanks for such rich offering. My favourite lines were:<br /><br />'I walked past him<br />through swinging doors<br />carrying heavy trays,<br />princess of faculty dining.<br />I remembered<br />who took coffee<br />with milk<br />and who drank tea;<br />he was prince of all the rest'<br /><br />There are four lines between princess and prince. I kept repeating them back to me, the rhythm is incredible.<br /><br />Greetings from London.A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.com
