Picture by Josephine Wall

* * *

My source of inspiration
Had been right before my eyes
It took a while for me to see
But it really came as no surprise

Each and every one of you
Are so inspiring to me
When you share your heart and soul
Through your words so much I see

My poetic friends are priceless
They speak directly to my heart
My life has been uplifted
From all the love that you impart

You are a part of my persona
You are the left hand to my right
As we share our love of poetry
You'll always be my guiding light

Your words speak volumes to me
As they reach out across the miles
And on more than one occasion
You are the reason behind my smile

* * * *

"When the willow bends at the
first hint of troubled breezes,
our friends come running
to see how they can help.
Sometimes friends know
when they are needed
even before we realise it ourselves,
because we are accustomed to
letting them in on the
happenings of our lives."

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Sue,
And you give as much as you receive. Your words flow effortlessly. Nice write by a nice lady. Thanks.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Larry

How lovely for you to leave your comment.  I noticed you have been absent for a while and I have missed you.  I haven't been here that much myself.  I hope all is well with you.

Duncan

I appreciate you taking the time to read my words and I thank you.

Barry

Your words always make me blush and leave me with a smile.  You are a treasured jewel in the crown and you have always been a huge inspiration for me.  It makes the world of difference when someone believes in you.

Take care.......Sue

Hi Sue, this is your left hand speaking,

Yeah, you know, the left hand you mentioned in your poem?

It’s me!

“Howyadoing?”

That’s Good!

I’m Glad!

Hey, you know what?
It’s been getting a little hot around here.
I wuz thinking, maybe you could get us
one of them little finger bowls.
You know, so’s maybe we could
take a little dip, now and again?

Whatdayathink?

And a nice new hand towel would be
good too you know.
I’m gonna keep my fingers crossed
it’s not another one of them
hand me down’s, like last time.

Plus, I been getting a little sunburn
up on top... maybe you could get me
a handicap or something?

Dat would be really nice...

Hey, for lunch, I was thinking
some finger foods would be yummy...

You know the Lady Finger sandwiches
are my favorite!

Hey, didya hear the oneabout
the Carpenter who had to go get his teeth fixed?

Yeah, he kept biting his nails...

Hehe

Give me five!

(Slap!)

Ouch!


Well, I just wanted you to know
that I wrote you this little note,
to thank you for this nice poem
you wrote about me.

It get’s two... thumbs up!

Well, that is, if I can get the other one to cooperate???

I would’ve handwritten it,
but you wouldn’t have been able to read it...
Since you write with that... “other hand.”

Well anyway Sue, I just want you to know...

I think your da best,

Hands down!!!

Oh, and sorry for always
being such a handful...


Signed,

Your Handyman

This was very special, but of course--look who wrote it!

Sue, I am happy to see your writing and I just knew your muse would not abandon you.

And my friend, you bring much inspiration and love to me and the rest of the PiPsters.

Hugs and Luvs, Marti
