Good Early Tuesday Eve Mary. Have been remiss responding to alll whom I read while not writing at all.. Thank you for your comment today my bridal story and the master of elegance Valentino. If not for his death and my long ago packed away memory I might be amongst those who remain silent. I hope reading your words and letters put me in a mood to write. Jenn
I have waited, deliberately this once, for a quiet moment to love the end of the story as I knew it would. And I did dear Mary, my only sadness... that its over.
Thank you for this and your gentle, beautiful noticing's - I think I may have to order Pierre Siméons unforgettable story to read to my little ones in class.
What a love you are, Susie. Yes, the book is a marvel, a primer on poetry that is meant for children, but, as we now know from my series, adults love it!
The glimpse of the book took me back to my own days at primary school, the sheer magic of words and colour on the page. Thank you for sharing these beautiful and tender letters, Mary.
Such a marvelous book and your letters, Mary, brilliantly recreate its pages. I will miss your excerpts from it and your charming watercolors of Arthur's community This mini series so beautifully epitomizes your enduring theme "Only connect. . . "
That last page of the book: I'd love a print of it to hang on my walls. Those "definitions" are wonderful.
Ah, Maureen, with thanks to Jean-Pierre Siméon with illustrations by Olivier Tallec -- and my amateur attempts. I too love the definitions. This book is a primer on poetry!

Hoping for you, too. I do have a course to get you started that might help: https://marytabor.substack.com/p/table-of-contents. Take a look, if only just for fun,

Your attempts are not amateurs Mary! Gorgeous illustrations filled with so much love!
Ah, so kind, Imola1 I so enjoyed doing this for my granddaughter!
I can tell! :)
This has been fun and inspiring, Mary! Thank you for sharing.
Means so much, Ollie, that you stuck with it and promoted it in your own Substack.!
I'm sorry we're at the end, Mary, but happy to have made the journey!
Oh, Amanda, I so agree!
Marvelous!!!! I’m quite sad it’s over but will carry the message (and your tender delivery) for all time.
So, lovely, dear friend,
A very intelligent and sweet ending to a wonderful story!
Oh how sweet you are, Rafael! Thank you for sticking with it.
I will miss these. That last page is a poem in itself.
Isn’t it though. What a marvelous book. I feel so privileged to have found it. 💝
Thank you for sharing it with us.

Ah, Jeffrey, it's been a joy to do this: a simple primer on poetry--and an exercise of love.
Arthur sees. And now so do I. Thank you, Mary, for this beautifully packaged gift.
Lovely and with my heartfelt thanks.
Such a treasure trove this IS! 💜
How lovely, Joanie!
The fish were always the best
