if you like my poems let them
walk in the evening,a little behind you
then people will say
"Along this road i saw a princess pass
on her way to meet her lover(it was
toward nightfall)with tall and ignorant servants."

Comments1This poem really struck a chord with me, particularly the part about the princess passing by "a little behind you." It conjures up such a vivid image of someone appreciating your work from a distance, almost secretly. The sense of magic and mystery it evokes is truly enchanting.
