I'll take it:) well at least I'd like to LOL. I can never do this... beauty in brevity has never been my strong point, but you nailed it on this one:) what a gift!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you so much, Robert. So good seeing you on my page!

[Fran Marie]

So beautifully penned
in few words which speak
volumes of love and warm
felt emotions ..nice work

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you most kindly, Fran!

[Stella Armour]

These words are very profound in their brevity.
it gave me images of a well loved book as yet unfinished..

[redzone]

hi Kelly, sounds like a book you can't put down and stay up all night reading... what makes it special is that there are new pages added every day, each one dog eared by fingers feeling each word... it's nice to read your words again Kelly....

[Kelly Scheppers]

How wonderful it is, seeing you, Curt! Thank you for the joy you bring me today.

[Dara]

I can’t think of a more profound expression of devotion than this. Very unique and unforgettable with perfect flow!

[Kelly Scheppers]

You are so kind, Dara. Thank you!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Thank you, Jacob. Your time and support are much appreciated!

[Tricessimus]

What a great stab deep into the communal psyche with the very sharp needle of few words. I couldn't help but think about my own dog-eared pages. Somehow these twelve words took me a half hour to read. Basho would be proud.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Those twelve words were meant to absorb you. It's the kindest compliment you could pay me! Thank you!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Kelly... after living with someone for so many years... you change together. The "dog-eared pages" are kept for a Degree in Tolerance and patience which is shared equally... There is nothing so Constant as Change... so we grow together, and complement each other. Hopefully, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

You leave me speechless. Thank you for a most riveting review.

“Understanding” is my Best Virtue… and if I knew more about a person or situation, I would understand more deeply.

[Richard Knox]

Kelly, what a wonderful poem that says so much in a few perfect words! It brought to mind this quote from Dante:

In that book which is
My memory...
On the first page
That is the chapter when
I first met you
Appear the words...
Here begins a new life.

Very nice work, Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I am deeply flattered by the comparison, Richard. I've had two other reviews that compared this to Ezra Pound's poem, "In a Station in the Metro". Such kindness truly makes me most gracious. Please don't be a stranger. You are most welcomed here.

[Richard Knox]

Thank you very much, Kelly.

[Cherrie Palmer]

What a wonderful familiar place to keep coming back to.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Oh Cherrie, how happy you've made me! Thank you so much.
