an attempt at a poetic "CHEERS" to Brian Strand for his amazing stay at poetrysoup. One thousand contests and many informative and informational blogs.....you will be missed Brian.

What will we do with the poems we’ve written
pampered and teased like a fluff ball fur kitten
ironed them out to conform to a form
a mystical mystery outside of the norm?

Where will we go for a question, a thought
insightful lessons, relearned and retaught
Who will we ask for a hint, for a clue
a debt for the muse that will never come due.

How will we fill those scribbles of time
doodles on paper with no sense of rhyme
answer the question in voice or in phrase
prepare for an eloquent end of these days?

It has been said “we take mentors for granted
Until we see bloom the seeds that they planted."
