  1. I found myself staring at the surface of the water looking for what was hidden, a real case of where the photo and the poem together have added power.

  4. Loved the first: found myself hoping that the troubled thoughts will drown.
    Also loved the second, but winced at its accuracy.

  5. Love the tranquillity, but who's hiding in the woods, I hope it's not those redundant woodworkers!

    The second one speaks the truth of what is happening to craftsmen in this world of big box stores.
