Wotan, this was beautiful. Not ashamed to say it made me cry.

Imagine if you saw her with your own eyes?

I've seen them out here, on our trips to Kats sons place.

I sometimes wish you would write more nature poems, because I think they tend to be your greatest strength. I, of course, don't want you to stop writing your other poems at all. That would be a shame. However, your best nature poems tend to leave me with a sense of awe almost equal to that I experience with the historic greats. At the risk of partaking in a bit of flattery, I believe I may have told you that your "Amongst Ancient Friends" has cemented its' place as one of my favorite poems.

I have one question though. When you say she's Tejas-born, you were referring to Texas, correct? Wonderful work, Wotan!

I was trying to give her more of a flavour of Viejo Tejas - just to get across that she, and her kind have been prowling those lands since before anyone else.

And sincere thanks for your comments. :)
