Thank You

Thank you Keith, Ernesto, Kristin and Diane Thank you christopher and beyond I love this soup Richer than St Elizabeth cow peas Mannish water or pepperpot Poetry.com was a bubble in my history Burst now I love this family, O Deborah what a gift What a Caleb in your tongue Carolyn sweet as a Irish violin The little Japanese tea Served in chinese cup Thank you Stacey, Denis, Lena Karena Children of a sweeter God Muse of the okra tongue Slippery as oil where inspirations run Under the green sheet of the sun Laurie, Karen, Brian, Sue Stacy you too Orishas of the river woman Giver to the Shango Brides, brethren, warrior crew I am the twister, conniver The rattle of the drum You played me And gentle too, Lovers are givers and sweet water flows in sweet rivers Thank you God for these people, the candles Of your fireflies Thank you all for you.

..and thank you, my brilliant new friend, for the mention. :) I am so glad you found this site, and know just how you feel. it is family, and just oozing with talent, more here than anywhere else, I suspect - like a vortex of poetic fluidity. blessings to you always, love, Kristin
