Poem for a Friend

Yesterday, while exchanging comments, I was inspired to write this poem for a dear friend of mine – the always beautiful Kym Gordon Moore. She’s a very talented Poetess, and I encourage guests to visit her web site. Thank you!

Like honey in spring
As bees do their thing
So, too, as with you
My spirit does sing

    The poem speaks of adoration, in my interpretation. Wonderful, Phil

      Most kind of you to say, dear Hazel ~ thank you! Kym is a good friend of several years with a wonderful sense of humor, exceptional poetic skills, and inspiration which periodically propels my pen to compose poetry. I’m glad you enjoyed it, my friend ✨🤗

I left some breadcrumbs for her in a comment, hoping she’ll follow the path to my site. Wishing for you a weekend of much happiness and peace, my dear friend ✨😘

          Ah, dearest Kym, you’re one of my first friend on WordPress whom I referred to as being “sweet as honey”, and you’re certainly one of the sweetest! Thank you for your kind, loving words ~ I appreciate you very much, my friend!! 💗

          About WordPress…hmm. I know you’re familiar with the term ‘glitch’, as I’ve read on your site of some past anomalies. Unfortunately, I think every site has issues periodically, as, when I’ve written poetry for my friend Holly Hunter, for some inexplicable reason she’s not able to leave comments?!

          By the way, I caught your use of another interesting term (verklempt), earlier, and I had to page through the dictionary – well, search the net, lol.

          Sending good vibes your way, sweet friend & have a pleasant evening 💐✨🤗😘

            Phil, you know how to bring a huge smile to my face. 😁 Your compliments have me melting like butter here! 😊 Your love and kindness go beyond measure. Trust me when I say that my dear friend.

            Yep, WP has had some rather interesting hiccups that I hadn’t experienced before. Yet still, I understand I am not an isolated situation and there are more WP users than there are on other blog sites, so perhaps WP and their algorithms can’t keep up with the posting traffic. So, we won’t sweat the small stuff now will we? So, be gone glitches! LOL 😂😜🤣 Hugs, smooches and a FANtabulous evening to you too! 😘🥂🍯💖🥰
