Friendship's Rest

When I think of being blue and cry I remember the joy within I hear your sunny voice and try to bring a smile, a laugh, a grin. You call from distant shores now to see if I am feeling well, freeing me from my lonely vow just by your ring, an anthem bell. I tell you tall tales and short and hear your giggles down the line You tell me yours, as if at court, these truly are the best of times. Reassured, valued, loved and blessed your friendship and care bring me rest. *Poet: Debbie Guzzi

It is almost a relief to tell you that this does not approach the depth of most of the things I have read by you. You may take that as ironic, but it tells me that even fine poets such as you have "blah" days, :-) That is consoling to me. No obvious flaws, here, so dinna fret youself!

Oh, I'm glad to see this a winner. Girl talk can indeed be "letting our hair down" and so theraputic!!

Is this a modern sonnet? I've heard some people write them now with fourteen lines and the same rhyme scheme as old sonnets, but without the same syllabic count. Anyway, caongratulations on your wonderful verse winning.
