About Nikko

(a double etheree) I don’t know everything about the life and history of my dear friend named Nikko. When I met her here, I thought Nikko was a name for a guy. I think I came right out and said it: “I don’t know if you’re a girl or a guy!” But with Nikko, you don’t have to be shy. She’s natural and honest, yet sweet. I talk with her as if she were another of my sisters: clever, talented, neat! But these are mere words. What matters most is I feel Nikko’s light! For the word Portrait Contest of Frank H.

Nikko is a treasure, as part of the Soup family, or outside the soup.......I treasure her as a lovely friend with a heart as big as the ocean between us! Nice choice for your poem, Andrea!

I think 'Drop by Drop' is the one I'll enter. I think 'Softly... Gently' may be too simple. Yes do have a go, I know you'll do a super job :)

A lovely tribute to Nikko, she's a special friend, and a talented writer indeed. Now, I didn't think Nikko was a boy, but I had to laugh at Gert Knop's comments. Guilty I'm afraid, sorry Gert, please forgive me ;) ~ Sharon :)
