Over the past few years, I’ve published several poems – many of which were written as responses to postings by, or comments of, various friends. Here are a few samples…
Title of Post With Link: “A Warning?“
Poetess: Penny Granger
I can hear your voice
In the words you hone
Penned straight from the heart
Most rhythmic, now flown
What does it mean
These sounds in the air
For whom the bell tolls
On a wing and a prayer
Connected are we
Both one in the same
On an island of love
Two hearts now acclaim
Title of Post With Link: “The Robot Mop Vacuum Cleaner Who Wanted to See the World?“
Poetess: Mélie
Life in the big city
With skyscrapers so tall
On the charge of a battery
A clean dream to recall
Title of Post With Link: “Chronicles of a Girl – Chapter 53 – Today One of Those Things Happened to Me… I Decided to Plant Potatoes!“
Poetess: Carla Milho
Your harvest of happiness
From the garden of life
Brings to bloom smiling faces
Superseding bad strife
Growing rows of potatoes
Farming meals from the land
Never mind the Supreme Chief
The future, by Carla’s hand
