Your finely crafted verses play a tune
And splash across the canvas of my mind
A picturesque fair wood or sandy dune
I’ve seen the world through phrases you’ve designed.

Your pen has caused my tears to freely flow
Cascading falls from sorrows that you share
And wisdom gleaned, on me, you do bestow
You gift my soul because you truly care.

A healing balm I’ve found in clever wit
My burdened heart set free once more to fly
Aloft again in ever graceful flit
Your gentle words, the breeze that lifts me high.

A symphony you softly play for me
Upon the page when you write poetry.

(This is dedicated to all the poets and readers of Passions in Poetry, for making this the best place I have ever found, with a special note of thanks to Ron for making this all possible!)

Excellent, my sweet Denise
And with me you have a perminant lease.
I read your poems with every look
And hope some day you'll write a book.

Oh thank you too dsynder. Yor are excellent poet and a beautiful woman. The other day, I printed out all my poem and responses on the computer and realized that you responded to my work than anbody else and I'm very grateful of that. In fact you was there for me when my first poem was showcased on this board.  I used to be dissapointed when I had so few posts but your name was always among those posts and I thank you. One day, I might dedicate a poem to you and your wonderful poems.

I too appreciate the many times you have read and commented on my poetry.  You open friendship's door so easily and reply with care and style and your own poetry is inspiring.  Congratulations!

Lady D... An excellent post for #5000 or for any number in fact.  Thanks for heaping a fair share upon my own posts. Always a joy to see your name and always a pleasure to read. To 10K and beyond. (and me yet to break a thousand...   )

Denise, Denise! What can a poet say
You've been a friend to all in every way
You are the guardian angel of the forum
Looking down on each and every poem
5000 posts is proof of what I say
An angel truly is what you portray
Irish eyes of blue are filled with love
And write the wondrous sonnet shown above
Congratulations, Denise!
Love you,
Liz

Thank you all so much for your warm, kind comments! It is a pleasure knowing each and every one of you. I feel as though we have been friends forever. I can't believe I only found Passions less than 5 months ago. You are all very special to me. My life would be the poorer without you.

Write on Poets! Read on Readers! Long Live Passions!

p.s. Thank you for the lovely poem, Elizabeth!

 It's fantasy. But if it contains a piece of me doesn't that make it as real as I am?
