 Left one is Pepper...she sends her regards Our reader extraordinaire. No meeting of poets could be quite complete If our sweetheart Pepper's not there. Next one is Sy...he's one hell of a guy Writes poignant verse that enthralls Talent abundant...he painted the pictures You see there behind on the walls. The one in the middle is ole Balladeer Lucky to be in between Such talented people you see on both sides And blessed to be part of this scene. Franni comes next...she is posting at last Writes words of verse pure and clear. When she's not writing she's got her hands full By caring for ole Balladeer. Elizabeth Santos, last but not least A poet I truly admire. When my heart is warmed with a poetic glow Elizabeth S. is the fire. We wish you all greetings from Florida's shore A night filled with good will and cheer. The only thing lacking from this perfect night Is wishing you all could be here..... |

I had the immense pleasure of talking to two of those lovely ladies yesterday... and I'm so glad you've had such a wonderful time!!! You know the only thing that keeps me from being jealous is that meeting with my heart I had last week. *S* My beautiful, delightful Pepper... Seymour of the infinite talents... dear Balladeer... Franni who's at last sharing her wonderful poetry... and the traveler whose insightful poems made her feel like a friend before I actually had the right to claim friendship... You are all as lovely as your words!!! |

Hey! Nice to actually see faces! I think we should do a Canadian picture and both of us (or is it 3 well how ever many) We will all stand in 6 feet of snow and wear are parkas while petting our Huskies! Marina |

GREAT PICI guess that I am Justin Thyme to tell you all I love your rhyme and that I also love the eyes of Pepper; reading Pepperwise. Although you may not know my name I watch you all through post and fame and realize you are the cream of Passions crop; a poet's dream. I wish that I could meet you, though, you would not recognize me, so, I'll simply say I wish I were enraptured by this Florida stir! Thank you, dear poets, all of you, for being there, so sure and true! I wish that I could be so wise to toss forever this disguise. And if I did, I would be there, to tell you that I so much care for each and every one of you! Your words have made my life less blue. Next Thyme I'm lost, without a mouth, I'll dream I was in Florida, south, with memories of how you rhyme. Until then... I am Justin Thyme... To tell you that I hope we meet some Thyme while I'm out on the street. JT. Recent escapee. Passions of Poetry devotee. |

Thank you Sy and Isabel For treating us so very well The food was great and as you see We all enjoyed the company Funny verse by Balladeer Had us laughing into tears Sy showed us his works of art And read some poems right from the heart Franni's warmth and smiling face Added warmth and gentle grace Pepper's Brent loves fine cuisine And wined and dined just like a king This was poet's last hurrah Ft. Lauderdale in Florida Friends and poets never fear We'll do this thing again next year Liz & Pepper |

That is really cool and seems like a dream come true that five poets could meet and spend some time together. James |

As I sit here recuperating, I chance upon a view of people I have come to know a bit, and admire a lot, with the exception of Franni, who I intend to get to know through her words of poetry as soon as I can! Thank you Balladeer, for sharing the smiles of all. Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

A fine poem, Balladeer, and what a handsome group of folks! It's great to see you all! Glad to see that my picture didn't "really" break Passions' camera! ~ Claire |
