Edwin Hofert Tribute

SUDDENLY

There comes a time in our life
when we simply "must let go"
hoping that encouragement
has been our chance to show

That childhood must not remain
embedded in your mind
You are so much older now 
and in this chance you'll find

A new life does await you 
in the days of warmth and night
for by your coming home
That makes everything so "write"!

8/3/15
--------------------------------------------
Edwin seems to have disappeared again
I pray he is not lost in depression

If you are speaking of "Write".....that's what I meant. Wrote it for a poet on Soup.......is it Right? NOPE...it's WRITE....

I came across a prestigious list of the top 100 most published poets here and I am not surprise. Your quality indeed goes hand in hand with your quantity. I'll check one or two more of your works because this has given me a unique satisfaction. I give you a handshake of a definite 7!

Beautiful. Poems like these show that beauty in poetry can be found both in short and long writes. The parent's wise words, the almost cryptic reminder packs a punch! Happy to see this was honored with POTD. Congratulations, Judy!
