I just noticed a short time ago
That Wikket's greeted Bill Bussey.
He wrote so well, he seems to know
How to write, and with words he's fussy--
He chose them well,
Correctly spelled
Every sentence and phrase.
I think I have started something
That I hope will keep on running
A lot longer than just a few days!

I think, but still I'm not sure
If I was the first to be greeting
All the new poets, greater and fewer,
And everyone else I was meeting...

I try to do, and do well,
Welcome the newcomers here,
To a place that's got its own special spell
And a place I now hold dear.

So everyone else, why don't you attempt
To stop for a while, just say 'hi' to the new?
Hey, if I can do it (I'm talent-exempt)
Imagine what you out there could do!  

I guess you could call this a challenge, I've never given out any before, but I think it's about time I did--there are new poets galore!

You're funny, Sam....'talent-exempt'...I DON'T THINK SO!!! Another great poem, of course!!    

Anyone up to Sam's challenge to find a new poet and write a poem for him/her? Great idea, Sam!

Spyro, I appreciate your congeniality-- but it doesn't have to be so self-defacing. Being a welcomer, and an encourager is something of which you can be proud, I seek to do the same in another forum, myself.
And you don't have to apologize for your poetic ability--remeber this is no competition, but a place to compliment each other--Your own poems combined with your Big heart, make for a winning combination!  Keep up the good work!

I was greeted warmly by many, you are all a gracious group, your words tell me much about each of you. Thats one of the perks of the "coot" generation. The talent I see here makes your compliments even more appreciated. I would hope I do not wear out my welcome.........bill
