| Posted by Leslye Writer on 10/29/11 at 12:28 PM I can hear the high sound. The exposed belly, the waves and the ballet are memorable. I will remember this poem when I read it again in a thousand years. The finger on crystal will still be sounding. |

and it takes a lifetime to sing." I really enjoy reading a new perspective. Leaving it with that high crystal sound resonates (pun intended). Thank you. |

| Posted by Lori Blair on 11/02/11 at 10:01 PM I read this earlier and didn't have time to comment so I rated it..but I did indeed have to return to comment! We have a tank with snails in it and I could never have described the beauty of it all as you have since done! Brilliant! |

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 02/02/12 at 04:25 PM Congrats on POTD! Really loved the "fin ballet and tail flick race". |
| Posted by LK Barrett on 02/02/12 at 10:02 PM Just as fresh, as sweetly vulnerable and wise as the first time I heard you read this, and still so poignantly clear and pointed. Love and sincerest congratulations on a well-deserved POTD. |
