Poem in Response

Having read “Underground“, a wonderful poem written by my close friend, Penny Granger, a very talented and lovely Poetess hailing from Durham, England – in which she draws poetic inspiration from my Pillars and People graphic artwork – I was inspired to write this poem in response…

Underground, beneath the earth
Deep inside their village den
A place to live, free and clear
In a poem conceived by Penn

    I do enjoy the ‘conceived by Penn’, … you darling man, … thank you so much for this poem in response, I love it by the way, … and thank you in reciprocation, your talent, your Graphic Art is marvellous, and sets my imagination free and simply overflowing,… which is nice, I need something to get me started, poetic wise. And you have such good choice in music, … I’m sitting here listening whilst I type, …sending all my love from the UK to you in the US, first class of course, …❤️❤️❤️

      As sweet as honey and fine like wine, I find your company most divine. Yes, my darling lady, creative soul and Poetess extraordinaire, your wonderful words have found my heart wanting more, as I’ve so enjoyed your “Underground” poem, today, bringing life to my graphic art. I think you’re an exceptionally talented writer with an imagination which knows no limit, always interesting and drawing me inside your world of lovely poetic expressions. So glad to hear, as well, that you like the music I’ve posted, and, as I so enjoy your audio recordings, I bet this song would sound even better with you sharing your voice, singing along. You’re the best, dearest Penny, and I send all my love from the US to the UK 💌 first class of course ❤️❤️❤️
