Over the past several years, I’ve published many poems – some of which were written as responses to postings by, or comments of, various friends. Here are a few samples.
Title of Post With Link: Twitter/X
Poetess: Penny Granger
Each tick of the clock
In-between you and I
An echo of hearts
With the volume on high
Time, as a full moon
Glows when love’s in the air
Rolling with the tide
Shifting sands as we share
Title of Post With Link: “Vacation Mode Activated“
Poetess: Mélie
A joyous time, hammocks, cocktails with lime, and a spot in the shade to keep cool. Then, into the sun and waves to have fun, stretching out on a towel by the pool.
Title of Post With Link: “Love Belongs to Those Who Give Themself“
Poetess: Carla Milho
You bring to life a love of words
Courageous Carla, dear
A spine of steel, yet sugar sweet
Natural beauty without fear
Title of Post With Link: “Murmurings“
Poetess: Holly Rene Hunter
Calling through a candles glow
Flowing shadows dance sublime
Warm words wrap curvaceous wings
Draw my heart to drop a dime
