~~~~~~~~~~~~

Go write me a poem
Sunshine's note read.
While visions of popcorn
Danced in her head.

But, I cannot write
As beautifully as she.
My nervous response
Is to not rhyme - but flee!

My muse is a no show
I'll just have to wing it.
Count yourselves lucky
I don't have to sing it!

I think she was a goddess
In some faraway time.
Gifted with a brilliance
For writing stories and rhyme.

She's been a good friend
On my days of second guessing.
Insisted I get my "butt into gear"
Now, that's quite a blessing.

Karilea, you're a sweetheart
We all would agree.
I am ever so grateful
That you had faith in me.

I like this poem.  I hate it when people read your work and think that you can just write a poem on the spot.

I am literally laughing out loud!  See?  You CAN do it...and it rhymes!  Now you may kick MY moody muse in the rear and tell it how to get in gear and tell it "now rhyme, you hear?"!!!

rk - thankyou for commenting. But, in all honesty....I did just write this...in the past hour!! But, knowing Karilea....it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

Karilea - lol. Well, you DID tell me to write a poem in your note this morning - so I didn't want to disappoint a dear friend like yourself. Glad you enjoyed.

She's given my butt a sunshiny kick or two over the years... Somehow, it doesn't seem to hurt much though... Cute poem, Chris...

(smiles) Oh Chris, this is beautiful, sweet friend, I believe you should just write from your heart for I don't believe in talent for poetry is in everyone and Karilea has the beauty of poetry in her, just as you do and everyone here does! (kiss on cheek) I just know she will be touched by your words of friendship, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
