Abe Lopez

Not only is he my friend; He’s the Mayor of my hometown. His eyes oversee the place, That I so love to be around. Whether it’s canvas or a page, He graces it with artistic hands. Bringing out his desired emotions, That his patient heart commands. With a love for teaching art, His creative mind explores. And amps up all who know him, To want to accomplish more. We have the same passion, In the landscapes that we shoot. And have our haiku sessions, And post them on Poetry Soup. He has a vast love for helping, And dabs carpentry. He gives his best to the canvas, And to the stanzas of his poetry. His giving heart keeps giving, And he loves it, is what he says. He’s a master of the short form, And his name is Abe Lopez. ________________________ For Abe Lopez, a fellow souper and friend for his support on and off Poetry Soup, God bless you.

I'm not familiar with him but I have heard a lot of great things about him. For one, he's better that pudge, and two I heard they were going to make some new courts. Abe if you read this, get those courts ready for me for when I come back home. -Boo

Raul, I am just getting to see some of Abe's work and I couldn't agree more. Nice tribute to a great man. (Had no idea he was a politician, but I'm glad he is presiding over your town. Must give you some relief to have a competant leader. Love, Carolyn
