To all you here who do reply I say without a doubt or lie There’s something that I can’t deny I love each moment spent Thank you for your time and thought The friendship of the poet sort For inspiration often caught The wisdom you have lent For here I have my own sweet world Comfortable and warmly curled With the mainsail well unfurled Where heart and soul can vent So thank you one and all my friends Lets journey to our poet ends Enjoy each word each poet sends And where each truth is sent Take care and be well my friends. Rick |

Very nice rick. I liked the pattern and the flow. However, the ending sounds like you're going away. Peace. Love. Forgiveness. |

You were among the first in PiP to make me feel really welcome here. You were the first who called me "friend" - I'll never forget those things -- and I think of you as "friend". Your writing is beautiful and your friendship even more beautiful. Alison |
