interesting idea, to explain your pen name. i like it a lot, do you mind if i do that for mine? can you pm me and give me permission (i dont want to steal any of your ideas). i love how you just listed all these things that warm your heart, and just the format of the poem showed how much you love them.

I love the spin you put on "shades of gray." Also another one to add to my favorites. I completely agree with each and every one of these stunning scenes. I can picture each of them perfectly - footprints in the sand, sunsets, rocks beneath waterfalls, etc, etc, etc. And now that I know the semi-story behind your penname, I love it all the more. :)

Mine doesn't have a story nearly as worth telling as yours.

amazing. keep it up and that must be why you chose the name that you did

lovely. such great imagery. i believe it is the simple things in life that are the best!

aww that made my tear ducts well up. its lovely. absolutely.

I love the great images you have here - and not just images, you included a variety of senses. I've written some pen name explorations as well, they're fun, aren't they? Great job here.

by the way, your favourites lists are works of art themselves!
