[stylist] Poem - "Breeze" - Second Draft

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Barbara,

I also did not know this word, thanks for looking it up. I often look up
words in Bill's poems, smile. He teaches me a lot.

Agree this is the start of a great poem. I will comment more later.

Okay, I may not be the only one who didn't know the word devoir. It is a
formal expression for respect. Thank you, Bill, for teaching me a new word
today.

It's a little bit of nothing, really, just an etude or finger exercise, a
little study in rhyme, but for me anyway it has it's satisfactions, the
maihn one being that I was in despair over it yesterday and posted to the
list about that, but now I've got this little piece which I might take up in
the future and see what might be made of it. if anything.
