comment from reader of mj poems in The Weekly Avocet
much-appreciated encouragement
It’s been said old age ain’t for wimps. As I age I am starting to realize that’s an optimistic view. But if I want a reason to look toward the future I have but to read your poems. Good, very good. Imagery I must try to match.
Thank you, J.M. in Canada. As always, my talented friend who writes incredible haiku encourages me amid all the rejection. All the best, mj
