Hi Ma,am! Strong verses, deep in meaning. Though cryptic, yet worth reading. Keep sharing and since I am a little busy, my final year of school, I wont be able to come here often. Still I will try my level best to see any of your newer works. Thanks.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you.

Call Me Ishmael----some times dreams are like elusive whales...we can't help but follow them...but often we are the ones who end up getting harpooned with discouragement.

[Pryde Foltz]

Thank you, Jacob. Starting to look like an octopus here with all the harpoons sticking out of my torso. LOL. But that is another poem.
