Daniel Turner - Cherished Friend

Of famous sonnets I’ve unwrapped so far, Including Shakespeare’s brilliance, I’ll contend, None close compare as near one superstar, Entitled “Daniel Turner - Cherished Friend”; Aligned in gentle reassuring tone, That shares with passion wisdom learned in time; A wellness check on friends who feel alone, Reminding patience renders life sublime; When needed Daniel came to me one day, And helped lift sullen skies that threatened peace, For that I’d like the world to hear me say – Thanks DT, for calming through troubled seas. Although these lines lack any imagery, I hope they show I’m here if you need me.

An awesome salute to a chap who is fast becoming a great friend here on the Soup. If I may add my own stripe to your banner. "He is one of the great ladles that keep this great pot of soup stirring". Also, to add to what has already been writ, you most certainly DO have imagery, Phillip. God Bless.D.

Thank you señora Allison - but you know you write sonnets as good as and better than me. You're always too sweet, messing up my bitter vibe I'm trying to write with :)
