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..

Sweet, gentle Soul...
Ty for your lovely words.
You speak from the heart;
your Love is received.
Such a beautiful write of
gratitude! You clearly
know how grateful we are
for you, in kind, for
your presence...
to us.
"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!

Love you lots
Cat

Ah, there were so many...
A soul will stumble accross
this poets rhyme..
Thanks SCatlyn for being the soul to bring this to the top and remind us of Jim and his community of poets.

Great read. As all his compositions are.
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
Kathy
Love,
