woodelf- Thanks for your explanations regarding the words in your poems. Yes ;-) know the word nipple- even men have them ;-) not that am a man ;-) Just wasn't aware of the word nippled :-) Sorry you cannot access my link- It is on the San Francisco Chronicle by Peter Fimrite.'Daring rescue of whale off Farallones' is the title of the article found at this web address:-
http://www.sfgate.com/chronicle/
Put Daring rescue of whale in Search box then click on full archive then at the top of the page is the link to the article about the humpback whale. Woodelf- really worth the effort as it is an amazing article- trust me!!
Talking of amazing is your poetry- very evocative for sure!! Spring is my favourite season, also. Married in April on a sunny Saturday, 3 years ago ;-) Hope everyone here had the chance to watch the Channel 4 documentary last night-Miracle on the Hudson River- it was phenomenal!! Gentle hugs to everyone, warmest wishes, Bea :-)
