Comment from Dawn Munro
Well, Well!
by Dawn
Yvette, you're here, and well, my dear!
No single tear
could e'er convey
my sad dismay
in thinking you had lost your life!
My own was rife
with blatant fear
and Covid near!
Next time you choose to disappear
I'd better hear
that story long...
'cause you were wrong!
Cyber friends or not, think of pen pals of old -- I forgive you, but you better have a great excuse!!! (Lol -- welcome back.)

Lol!! You always were able to put a smile on my face, Lady Dawn!! And, yes, I promise I have a very good reason for my absence... all will be revealed in time, my friend! Suffice to say, I am back to full-time teaching and have a second job, so things will be touch and go until summer (and even then, perhaps). Again, thanx for the very special 'welcome back' and have a wonderful week! :-)

:)) It was my pleasure, my friend. I'm not here a lot these days either, but I am very pleased to see you back.
Comment from lyenochka
Yvette!!! You're back! So good to see you. I had given up hope but I figured you were busy publishing more books.
Loved your Minute poem with its ethereal feel. Great form and rhyming. Best wishes in the contest!

On filagree (did you mean filigree? )

Thanx so much, my Lady Helen, for the review and the heads-up... always appreciated!! And a special thanx for the welcome back -- back to teaching full-time (with a second job) so it'll be touch and go till summer, but it felt good to hit that 'publish' button again!! ;-)

I'll love that.
And I knew for a fact that if ANYBODY could come out triumphant on the other side of the clusterf*** you endured, it would be you! You are the poster model for Phoenix Extraordinaire. Proud to say I know you!! xoxox

Comment from Mrs. KT
Oh my goodness!
Dearest Yvette,
You have no idea how much I have missed you... On second thought, of course you do!
Welcome back, dear friend!
Your poetry and person have been sorely missed.
How fortuitous to still be logged on tonight to be on the receiving end of your moving writing...
Smiles all around!
My heart is full...
Fondly,
diane
