About This Poem

Michael J Falotico

M any of you soupers already knows this friendly New Yorker
I n writes and friendship he`s an outstanding and stand up guy
C entral Park,Strawberry Fields..could it be his invention?
H e inspires and has taught me to write from my heart and soul
A nother days goes by,another write is born right out of his Golden Pen
E ndless rivers of artistic ink,flowing like strong creeks after a long winter
L ive and let live should be tattooed on that dude`s forehead

J ourney has started there`s no stopping now..

F lying zigzag between rainbows,how many beside MJF has been inside a rainbow? 
A nchored in poetry his mind drifts all over the planet-searching to find friendly spirits
L ennons` soul visit his work from time to time..
O rdinary people here at the Soup has cherished his work over and over
T he timeless poems he produces displays a unique creativity
I n dream poetry and real life he strikes a nerve,the reader something to ponder
C entral Park..Strawberry Fields..is that your poetry office,Mike?
O ver and over his Golden Pen delivers spectacular work..

* Take care MJF,have a peaceful and great NY week over there!

    Wow Arild, you have rendered me speechless and trust me not an easy task my brother lol. I could say thank you a million times and it still wouldn't cover It. I never worry about running to fast here on Soup because if I fall or drift off course friendship would be there to pick me up and lend a guiding hand. I thank you my brother across the pond and one day we will sit at the same table and raise glass. All the best to you my brother across the pond. Michael
