Hi Everyone, hope you're all having a great weekend.  I was just sitting here thinking how great it would be if we all got together and shared a few poems.  I dibble a little with poetry writing and am often called upon to write a poem for an occasion.  Let's share some "homemade poetry" or something that you come up with "off the cuff".  I recently had a loss in the family and I will share with you a snippit of the poem I wrote.  

Many years together, but our love still grows

Folks see us together and our bond clearly shows

People wish for what we have, strong, unbroken

What we’ve built together is a rare awesome token

We declared we’d always live our lives as one,

We would never say it’s over ‘til life says it’s done

If the race should ever end with me before you

Keep racing, stay strong, I still live in you

Melvin, Customer Care

A beautiful poem @Melvin-QVC...I was especially touched by the last two lines.

The only poem I've ever written was this a few years ago...

Kayai Kayai

He's our guy!

Back in the day, I was a poet's muse and have a few poems written about me, so I have that going for me.

@MacDUFF  lol, I remember that.  Keyai was and still is our guy.  That poem goes on and on, I just put a snippit of it.  Can't have someone stealing my poem before I have it published.

O.k. Wordsworth I'm not but still after half my life in USA very homesick - 

England is my country

London is my home - pie and mash, fish and chips

bridges falling down.

Never leave your country to go abroad and rome

Or else you'll end up - like me

with no place that is "home."

@Melvin-QVC

Sounds like an ode...?  I don't know if you were kidding or not, but I hope you do publish...very difficult from what I remember for a poet.

Melvin, I'm very sorry your loved one passed away. Your poem is beautiful. I also especially like the last two lines; very touching and poignant. 😟🌹
