Compunctious Suzzy R Prime Graphomaniac

Read and learn 

If you dare and have an inert
compunction to do so

And if you do may i suggest

Taking some of your precious
time to read Mev Suzette Richard's

As she is as i just learned as
she taught me

What it means to be both
a graphomaniac and legolepsic

And worst of all she is also
as proficient and prime at
maths as well

And though i should be jealous

I am more envious instead

Because she seems to revel
in her talent

And wishes to share and pass
it on to other's 

Rather than keep it to herself
and waste it

There is a long running t.v 
program quiz over here in
England called Countdown

And i think she would absolutely
smash it

Credit we're credit is due and
in if you see a gift or talent
in someone else

Why not take the time to point
it out and let other's in on the
secret 

Because she seemingly took a
2 year hiatus or break

And to me that is a crying 
shame and a waste

And can't help thinking maybe 
both she and countless other's
wouldn't have or felt the need to

If we you , i or anyone took just
a second of our time to encourage
and appreciate 

Any single person who inspires
you teaches or you learn anything
from

I am indeed honoured by this high praise, Chris. Once upon a time (only 8 years ago ...?), I knew diddly squat about stressed syllables, metre, perfect rhyme, scansion, etc. Some poets here on PS took the trouble to 'knock me into shape', for which I am eternally grateful. So, I'm paying it forward. Fair is fair. Hence the free downloads on my website :))

Both just glad and pleased you liked it Suzette. Like a penny if you learn something pick it up and pass it on

Cheers Mystic Rose I don't actually know her but i just like you took the time to engage read and felt a kindred spiritual friendship Likewise I also think those who are blessed with natural abilty and talent should be nurtured and encouraged. Who better to learn from than the best. Hugs and blessings to you
