I've had a thing for green glass ever since I first read it as a kid. and then Stevie Smith, another absolute favourite, in the same post! <br /><br />Could it be that you also had the Puffin Book of Magic Verse when you were growing up? A massive influence on my childhood reading and imagining. <br /><br />I like your poem too; it's powerful.lilyhttp://www.lilyhyde.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950999049789394042.post-51512901792573901792011-06-08T10:30:22.842-07:002011-06-08T10:30:22.842-07:00Water is alive.
