So it's fitting that I chose one of my particular favourites whom I've loved since childhood, one who inspired me to write my own poetry.<br />Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-58155658240989968362015-05-01T17:55:53.984-04:002015-05-01T17:55:53.984-04:00It's actually from an ad for a modern hotel in...It's actually from an ad for a modern hotel in Samarkand, Sherry, but of course mimics traditional architecture and design, and was free of copyright. :)Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-27582948038758884902015-05-01T11:11:58.853-04:002015-05-01T11:11:58.853-04:00Oh, lovely, Rosemary, to lift us off to Samarkand ...Oh, lovely, Rosemary, to lift us off to Samarkand in such lyrical lines. I, too, adore his four opening lines. We need such flights of beauty now as never before.

I read the one from February too. He was an excellent observer of life. I enjoyed this thoroughtly Rosemary. Thanks again for giving exposure to so many wonderful poets.Myrna R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15088915165678737118noreply@blogger.com
