Thanks so much for remembering a similar thought of mine, dialyn! You also said it well when you said, "How the same or similar themes are opened up by different people fascinates me." How true!

Sho's poem shows (oops, there I go again!) wonderful feeling. It's hard for poetry to "grab" me so when it does, it means you have captured a reader not normally disposed to poetry. While some might say that's a bad thing, I think it's a good thing.
