You were blessed to have such an experience. The Robert Frost poems have much meaning for me and I loved studying Shakespeare's sonnets in college. I used to write a lot of poems when I was younger. Now you've flamed that part of me alive again and I'll experiment with poems. Thank you.<br /><a href="http://jqrose.com" rel="nofollow">JQ Rose</a>J.Q.
