How the earth binds it magic to create a a dark, deep shadowy hidey hole... til.. til.. another more vigilant finds where a once was another hides.. perhaps. Style pon style here, bends of language, a spell of spell. You instinctively know where to move forward or back.. side to side and above.. great writing, mesmerising.

Whilst I love this phrase, ' in my age of oldness ' - it reads so elegantly, I rather think you still live with a very youthful mind, dear friend

[Einstein Noodle]

Where did my review go? I gave this a long and I thought quite considered review. Talking about its merits, which are many and manifold. It structure which is remarkably appropriate. The fact that I had to, (though I do say so myself) resort to my trusty dictionary for that word and found it remarkably apropos. I also promised to nick it for my next missive. And finally I was impressed with the whole feel of horticultural romance poetry. As I said previously, remarkable, intense and intelligent.
