Missing and Missed

Where have they gone, all the old friends
Who so long enriched these pages?
Dear Spirit and Pegasus 111
Have been missing now for ages.
I can find them in the archives
With our Wordancer and deleeme.
I worry, fearing they are ill.
They were a big part of our team.

Are thay taking a hiatus
Or are they writing up a storm?
I hope they are thinking of us
During their rhyming or free-form.
Street Heart, we know you are out there
Still composing a gentle tune,
While we're missing all those haikus
From our own sweet Ellie LeJeune.

2dalimit and Laryalee 2,
Are among those who have left us.
Perhaps they didn't understand
Their long absence would bereft us.
And there are so many others,
Who should be posting merry rhyme.
Hope they find this lamentation
And will come back to us sometime.

With love, Joyce 5/20/03

Joyce, I feel the same way. Even though it's not possible to reply to evry poem, I do read more than I reply to. When I don't see a name for a while, I wonder where the writer is and if they are well or not.
Maybe some of these you mentioned will pop in. And if they read this wonderful poem of yours, hopefully they will reply to it.
This is very thoughtful of you.
Hugs,
Ethel

Our poets often write in cycles - as their lives evolve - They invariably stop by to say "hello" on occasion - and we welcome them with a smile and a hug when they do... Nice thoughts, JJ...

Joyce:  How thoughtful of you to write this poem for those we rarely hear from anymore. I hope they read it and respond!

Joyce~
I know how it feels to miss the poetic thoughts of those so dear~

Sometimes ... I go back into the archives and find a poet who is MIP (Missing In PiP) and send them a gentle note of invite to come again to the circle~
I *smile* gently when I see that they do just that~

Thanks for reminding me to do just that !
