And I enjoyed following the trail to solve the mystery of how a woman in California used a poem of yours that you'd forgotten about.<br /><br />I notice that Vikkijac says the link is from the New York Times but actually it is the British Times.

Vikki Jacobs here. I followed your trail.....Hi Jan!<br />Vikki Jacobs here. I followed your trail... Congratulations on the publication of your first novel! What a great accomplishment!<br />I replied to your message on my blog as well, but here is the link to your poem on the NY Times site:<br /><a href="http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/poetry/article2295515.ece" rel="nofollow"> jump here</a><br /><br />I had done a search for "train poem" to go with my photo of the day. And a page came up of poems people had submitted to the NY Times per a request they put our for poems about love on trains. Here is that page as well:<br /><a href="http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/poetry/article2264966.ece" rel="nofollow"> jump here</a><br /><br /><br />Interestingly the photo they have in the article is similar to mine! It's not an uncommon angle I guess. <br />I love poetry, and I use what I find online more and more frequently it seems in my daily blog posts when I can't find the words within me to describe the feeling that my photo brings to me. Here's another example of that:<br /><a href="http://vikkijac.blogspot.com/2009/09/127365-orchids.html" rel="nofollow"> jump here</a><br /><br />For me, as I did the post production editing on my picture, it got me to thinking about travel, and how romantic travel in general can be. So your poem seemed a great fit. For me, it spoke of the feeling of disconnecting, and maybe re-inventing yourself for a short time... and we can do this when we travel, since no one knows us...<br />Thanks again!<br />Vikkivikkijachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02974334824892942739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2901561093915947718.post-38094952511892114642009-09-27T13:34:59.821+01:002009-09-27T13:34:59.821+01:00Lovely poem Jan, glad you shared it.
