West Coast Richard

Discovered a new friend, he lives in B.C. Nicknamed him West Coast Richard Most days he's up at the crack of dawn Like me, but he shaves off his whiskers His poetry's creative, exceptional bar none He's just about to publish a book Wish him luck he's certainly gonna need it Watch for it at your local book nook Sometimes friends just happen on the scene Unexpectedly enriching our lives Richard most definitely is one of those souls Like me he's enjoying the ride Strange how friendships suddenly develop Without prior notice or warning A sincere young fellow without an agenda Wakes up with a smile each morning Without getting sloppy or overly verbose I'll end this with a wish that you all Find a good friend like West Coast Richard Enjoy life and just have a ball! © Jack Ellison 2012

Jack, you are a great friend too, and of course Richard is an awesome one as well! I don't know either one of you that well but would love to get to know you all better! Your poetry is very delightful Jack, I love reading it in the mornings as you are a morning person! I can always judge when poetry is written by when your posts are placed, you are a very consistent person, I love that! You bring a smile to me each and every morning my friend! What a fantastic poem this one is, Great Work!!
