Your poems … from the melody

(From correspondence)

Hello, Alexander!

Yesterday in conversation Valery Slutsky advised to read your poems.

Reading them, I remembered the words spoken about Maria Sergeevna Petrovyh, whom I knew and loved very much, that she always writes her poems from the melody. Your poems, written in a completely different manner, also from the melody. This is a rare talent.

I wish you love, beauty of attitude and wonderful mood.
Hand on heart.
