  1. The contrast of sounds between the two parts of the poem is visually and emotionally effective, and the symbolically rich closing image, "patter of rain," opens up a space for the reader's imagination and interpretation.

  2. Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same results.

  3. Hi, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.

  5. What I really lingered on was the quiet tension between the clinical image of a cardiogram and the softness of rain. That pause “between beats” feels deeply human. It oddly reminded me how even precise systems, like concierge medicine new york city, still leave room for listening and nuance.
