A New Friend

Met a new friend on a cruise; We shared many interests and views. She doesn’t live far – Couple hours by car – But connections are easy to lose. Yet she’s great about keeping in touch, Often texting with greetings and such, Then said she’d be nearby And would love to say hi, Which I told her we’d like very much. So we spent a few hours today Catching up in a most pleasant way; Walked around and had lunch, Which made certain a hunch That this friendship might be here to stay.

I've had a few similar experiences in my long life, Ilene. Sadly they've all passed away but the memories of them have remained. Many thanks for reading my burlesque on Emily Dickinson, my favorite Amdrican poet of the 19th century. She's one of a kind. / Maurice
