This… Is the poets’ bench Where friends shall come One, by one, To sit with me, and envision Sun… We shall sit, our time To meet, And welcome day’s break, In silent greet This, this Is the poets’ bench Where laughter, heard, Is time well spent, Where promises Are penned in Poetry, Here, we’ll sit, under Our Willow’s tree… With memories, Sharing histories, Laughing our thrills, In tears of sea… For salt is blessed In each holy hold, The tears of poets, Drops of gold. For they encompass What we are, And we’ll wave the sun to set, So may rise, our stars. ~*~ I've recently been blessed by the many friendships here among the poets...I so enjoy welcoming our new members, encouraging our seasoned poets...helping where I can when I can... To see poems about me... and comments by you... are very humbling. Thank you...all of you...for reading, enjoying, encouraging, helping, writing, especially for YOUR writing... and for making Ron's home a castle.... from sticks and stones. |

This is a wonderful tribute to all of your poet friends here at Passions and I thank you for the graphics and the sweet thoughts. I have to say that you are definitely appreciated for your love and friendship the very same way....right back at you! I don't get around here as much as I'd like to but when I do I find the same beautiful friends still here expressing themselves with wonderful poetic language. So thank you both ways! |

Graceful writing from the heart of a gracious poet! How I would love to join you on that poets' bench to welcome breaks of day, share our stories, and to hear the voice of the glorious sun.... ~ May your Light shine forevermore, Linda |

Kitten's fur is not so warm Arms of love have not the charm Reach of lovers are not so gentle Isles of palms are not so sunny Longest beaches not so welcoming Eager children have not the joy As you who lift us all Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

No dear friend....it is us that is blessed, far more than this multitude can ever bless you. You are the flake of snow that lands on a lid, leaving that soft kiss...which shall never be forgotten. |

and with the shine from the sun will the words flow like rays of the divine poets, writers, wordsmiths and all and a bunch of kind readers too all willingly follow the path clearly shown by fields of gold over miles and miles of green soon one day the green would fade into dusty brown for that is but nature's decree yet, still sooner would the rains fall cleansing the dust and bringing on fresh green rushes miles of which would then write to their hearts desire and thus the cycle shall go on and we all shall remain constantly blessed just like you and the whole bunch of us since you grace us, O shine from the sun regards sudhir |

And as the sun rises to greet her poet today it is indeed my privilege to her what she has to say If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

K...give me the directions to the bench. Shall I bring a picnic lunch? You have to be precise in those directions, too. I get lost in my own backyard! Just beautiful Patricia |

This bench is not meant for two if we're to fill the poet's heart of you. We need more benches don't you see, For the willow tree bench is meant for me! Oh that bench has my name on it! This was truly lovely m'friend. |

It is quite an honor to be invited. It is quite an honor to contribute to the encouragement of so many poets, and it is quite an honor to help build a castle out of sticks and stones... El Campeador “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

Mysteria, you're never to worry...that bench will always be there for you. and benches we'll find, our poets shall come and share their minds... we'll greet the sun, and toast the noon, then count the stars as we cheer the moon... Poets all, we're chroniclers of time with Reflections shown by poets' rhyme... |
