    Lets see if someone has a scanner, if not i can photocopy it for you and send it but it won't look as cool as not in colour! anyway, suffice to say your poem looks very good, the x country one, against the backdrop of hes's print!

    When supper's on the table, and we'll see
    If I can leave off burying the white
    Soft petals fallen from the apple tree.
    (Soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,
    Mingled with these, smooth bean and wrinkled pea
    And go along with you ere you lose sight
    Of what you came for and become like me,
    Slave to a springtime passion for the earth.
    How Love burns through the Putting in the Seed
    On through the watching for that early birth
    When, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,

    The sturdy seedling with arched body comes
    Shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs.
    That was a good choice freckle. There's allsorts going on in that poem under the surface that sums up spring well.

    This is from Antonio Machado a Spanish poet who's wife died young and he makes lots of references to her in his poetry and writings:

    The afternoon is bright,
    with spring in the air,
    a mild March afternoon,
    with the breath of April stirring,
    I am alone in the quiet patio
    looking for some old untried illusion -
    some shadow on the whiteness of the wall
    some memory asleep
    on the stone rim of the fountain,
    perhaps in the air
    the light swish of some trailing gown.

    Antonio Machado
