 The old year's on its way out now. The new one's at the door. What has been done is history... The future lies before. No matter where our paths may lead One thing I know as true... Whatever comes, we'll write it down 'Cause that's what poets do. We may have tragedies befall We may have joys bestowed. We'll use our love of writing as A way to ease our load. We'll share our joy with others and Our pain and sadness, too. We'll spread our lives on printed page 'Cause that's what poets do. Perhaps we'll gain some comfort from The sharing of our grief. Perhaps our words of laughter will Bring others some relief. Our writings will allow us to Exchange our points of view And learn from one another's ways 'Cause that's what poets do. So greet the new year with a smile An opportunity To write a host of brand new verse Into your diary. Together we will march into The year 2006 Cause that's what poets do And that's how poets get their kicks.  |

You always know just what to say... and thanks for always having the perfect graphic (I meant to tell you that the one for Fred is priceless--my sister asked if you could SEE us, it's so much like Fred) Thanks for the miles of smiles you have given me and my family, Mike. Thanks for everything. (I love my socks.) and you too.  |

Balladeer, I have read you from before And have read you now today Your words speak volumes of wisdom And sometimes tease with word play You're as respected today As I remember from before And I'm pleased to read familiar type And exist beside you once more. This poem about the coming year is a lovely tell all about PiP. JM |

I haven't done very much lately I must confess, besides enjoying your recitals Deer and your song! Wishing each other a Happy New Year That's what poets do And because you are so very special I'll throw in some knuffels too I hope the day will ever come To meet you all once more I'll cherish all those memories From those whom I adore I hope the New Year gives us all A happy and healthy time Bless you Deer for being a poet And sharing your wonderful rhyme TitiaLike scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Deer, it's nice to see you're getting a kick out of writing I know I still get a kick out of reading you. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
