Your poems and prose

Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at 12:03 PMWhat a delightful find! Leah, your poetry is just what I've been looking for, and your thoughts on how if could help people with a dementia are inspiring. Next week to celebrate World Poetry day our cafe for people with memory problems will be having a poetry afternoon. I'd love to use some of your words, if you wouldn't mind.

Hi Leah - thanks for going out on a limb for all of us - it is always so rewarding; for me anyway!
Thanks for sharing your poetry - it is great. And you are right, reading poetry, or anything else for me (if it's good) takes me out of this world and into that of the author. I think we all need this kind of relief now and again from the busy, hectic world (especialy here in NOVA!

Please share your stories, poems, songs, etc with us - that is why we are here!
All the best, sue (moderator)
