I'll take it:) well at least I'd like to LOL. I can never do this... beauty in brevity has never been my strong point, but you nailed it on this one:) what a gift!

hi Kelly, sounds like a book you can't put down and stay up all night reading... what makes it special is that there are new pages added every day, each one dog eared by fingers feeling each word... it's nice to read your words again Kelly....

Thank you, Jacob. Your time and support are much appreciated!
What a great stab deep into the communal psyche with the very sharp needle of few words. I couldn't help but think about my own dog-eared pages. Somehow these twelve words took me a half hour to read. Basho would be proud.

dear Kelly... after living with someone for so many years... you change together. The "dog-eared pages" are kept for a Degree in Tolerance and patience which is shared equally... There is nothing so Constant as Change... so we grow together, and complement each other. Hopefully, Pat

Kelly, what a wonderful poem that says so much in a few perfect words! It brought to mind this quote from Dante:

In that book which is
My memory...
On the first page
That is the chapter when
I first met you
Appear the words...
Here begins a new life.

Very nice work, Kelly.
