Notes About The Poem

Dedicated to my writing partner who I miss oh so much. I have had no news from the family since November when they said he was doing well 

 

Contest: Judy Konos – Write a Poem
~awarded 1st place~

 

A Tribute To Darren Watson

Dearest Darren I miss you oh so much
All I want is for you to be returned to good health
Romantic writes you penned so well
Ridiculous sense of humour we share
Emails flew between us faster than Concorde
No one could make me laugh the way you do

Wish I knew how you are doing my friend
All my love and prayers are sent to you
There will never be another to take your place
So much fun being your poetry partner
Oh what a blast we had writing as Jadazzle United
Never a day passes when I don’t think of you

Lovely tribute you wrote Jan; having no news at all is though; it's the not knowing that pains most. Hopefully this poem will reach him. hugs // paul
