Newer poems (or poems renewed!) needed a folder of their own to unclutter this closet! And 222 gps is your reward for helping me with cleaning it out.

After appearing in my blog "L'aura del Campo"  [18+] this is where my poems come to be read, reviewed and rated. These are the waters in which they sink or swim. You, the reader help decide their future. I am merely the midwife that gave them birth.

Newest (August 15 short poems from recent blog entries):

"August" 
"What the waves knew" 
"Sentinel" 

Still no comments:

"Drugs sold here" 
"Sorting task" 

Another three poems that have been read the least to date:
"Canvas of a May day" 
"Flood of '93" 
"Paradise" 

Poems that have been reviewed at least 10 times and will be moved elsewhere (and gps reduced), usually when they have received 15 reviews and 50 views (due to the vagaries of the WDC system, these are still here, alas):
"Palette of Pastels" 
"Mauve Mavis" 
"Alps"  (12/81)
"Susan-of-the-waves"  (12/46)
"Violets"  (13/49)
"Wheat penny" 
"Song of an Age" 
"Love-lies-bleeding" 
"Flight of the unwanted son"  (12/58)

The one that readers seem to enjoy the most if you have time for only one:
"Wheat penny"  (12/84)

Thank-you to all my readers. I usually won't edit or respond to reviews until a poem gets ten reviews. Then I get to mull over whether to burn or bury them! *Smirk*
