A Tribute

Oh so many need a mention Those that are cool those that are not All worthy names on a tribute list But I’m not about to take a shot. There are beardies and blondy’s Cool ladies and some so sexy And they all deserve a tribute And I hope some also think of me. There are those that drive us forward And those that teach them to stop Those that give encouragement And even those we'd like to swap. A tribute I send to all the poets That have graced my comment box And a tribute to them all because There has been none I had to block. To those that I have nicknamed To those that read my work I send you all a tribute and On my duty I’ll not shirk. A tribute to my friends To those that help me learn A tribute to all the poets Whose respect I’m out to earn. © 15/03/2013

LOve it, you submitted a tribute like I did, for friends at Soup, not just one person(for me, so difficult to do). Sometimes you and I think so much alike!! congrats on the win. Well deserved.
