I love my Poet Friends

Who was I before I
got here..just a mumble
jumble of words-
I couldn't create a rhyme
fit to feed the lil' birds
Oh sure, Roses are red and
violets are blue
So how was I to come up
with anything new?
I thought it had all
been said-it had all
been written
But by the poetry bug
I was surely bitten-
There's Andrew and Kickit
and Niah for sure
And Jeddah, and Silentstorm
who opened the door-
Yes there is Pilgrim and
Billiegirl who think my
words are fine
It's because of these friends
I can snatch up a rhyme
Oh Fellsman so wise and Dabomb
so smart
From their talent I was inspired
to make this start-
Beautifulyou and Cat oh I
can barely say it
And Mac and Swade knows I'll
never fake it-
Oh these poet friends have
touched my heart
And a hundred others have
made their mark
Oh Hank and Witchy you've
made me blush
And Christian so true
with words so just
Some are here, many are
gone
But their rhymes are solid
their words are song
Oh, I can ony say that I
tried to dig down deep
I tried to write the words
that would soar and never
sleep
But mabey one day..perhaps
far in time
A soul will stumble accross
this poets rhyme..
They'll want to know who
inspired me so
My Poet Friends..to you
they'll go..

Such a nice tribute to poets of this corner!
"Some are here, many are
gone" ...
with the tendency of coming back, cause this corner is like a magnet, and we are here to seek friends in the first place.
Cafetwo, you were among the first I contacted when I landed here, and you responded kindly, so you might have contributed to my staying here and bothering people all the time. Many thanks for the tribute! hug bouquet

Lovely poem Cafe, from the heart. It is nice when people are nice to each other, instead of being vitriolic. hug

Your presence will always be with us in this magic corner my friend. Your legacy will live as other poets will be born by your inspirational words. RIP SM

With your talent - I feel you were a poet all along - you just needed a little encouragement in the beginning and by looking at your paintings you were also a wonderful artist. Talent cut too short. We will miss you always.

S, thank you for bringing up a delightful read. I remember all these poets. I only joined the corner 15 months after this was written.

Great read. As all his compositions are.bouquet
SCatlyn
P.S. Yes, Lindsy, you're so right about that - all his compositions were.
S.M., though I haven't met you, he'd absolutely love what you wrote & to feel that "other poets will be born by your inspirational words". I realize you already know that, as I've seen your words somewhere concerning how much everyone's interaction here meant to him.
He truly appreciated it, had not expected it, and loved all for it.
Bless you all purple heart

It will be 1 year Sept. 17th that you left our little corner of the world and joined the Heavenly realms with God. We still miss you very much and we also love you dear friend.

We will always miss you, Cafe. This poem brought back all the joy of your presence and all the bitterness of your leaving. When going through what you endured you never made it too obvious, so that we shouldn't suffer, to protect us from the knowledge, cause you knew how we loved you! Though we never met in person, that bond that was between us felt almost physical, hence the shock we all felt when hearing the tragic news. It is still unbelievable, it is still hurtful! RIP, dear friend!rose

Jim - every once in a while I miss you terribly still in our poetry corner of the world. I haven't even touched a fraction of your over 700 poems. We still need to share them once in a while for the world to see. Miss you dear friend - I know you are up there looking down on all of us.

Love,

Kathy angel teddybear
