Would that I could find a way
in words, in verse, in song,
to say a thing I wish to say
and quickly, not be long,
express undying gratitude
for me, for one and all,
for colors in the foliage
surrounding us this fall,
for Life and Love and Fellowship,
and for a woodcock's call,
and for the chance to celebrate
just being here, at all.

Being here, indeed... I'm happy to celebrate the simplest of things - like the written word.  Well done, kind sir..

A second welcome from me, Mr. Pease.
"Would that I could..."
I know somewhere in the archives
there resides a poem with just those
very words in it...

I have always appreciated someone who
would, if they could...

I hope you will have some pleasure in
reading other poets here, and giving
them some insight if they have their
critique window open, your sound advice
on just what to expect as a published poet.

My regards...

Sunshine
