It was a rewarding go-round.<br /><br />Niamh, thanks. Your comment means a lot coming from a "real" poetess.<br /><br />Joanny: I am touched by your kind words. By the way, I love the title of your blog "The Dowser's Daughter". I have a friend here in Spain whose father was a dowser. The Spanish equivalent of dowser is 'zahorí', a beautiful word that ultimately derives from the Arabic "azzuharah" or Venus.Lorenzo — Alchemist's Pillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07522265816460154722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6308428467776400130.post-20063605624384107182010-02-25T11:23:18.428+01:002010-02-25T11:23:18.428+01:00Lorenzo:

Often we draw upon our own experiences when we sit down to write about it, whether in poems, prose, or a fictional essay. There is a dreamlike and reflective quality in your poetry referring to (I drained the mirror of quick-sliver) that drew me in and I became possessed by the mysterious beauty that seem to have sprung from the depth of your soul and mirrored in the ocean's vastness.
