Bj Legros Kelley Poet Rhyme

Ernest and Emily

I sip and ponder Ernest-ly
  Across the table from me
I reach out and
   touch Emily's hand
My friends 
  I truly understand

Time and space
  The table
But dears 
  I see each face
You're present right
   before me now
As words written 
  can allow

I hear your tears
  Across the years
I cry with you
  your words ring true
I reach out across the table
  only as I'm able

John Gondolf October 1, 2020 at 2:49 PM After reading the Drink of the Flowing Pens I assume you are talking about Hemmingway and Dickinson in this poem as well. Their words still ring true today. Nicely done, Betty Jo. John Bj Legros Kelley October 1, 2020 at 3:46 PM Yes, I am. I was reading their works today. Their words are so deep and yes, totally resonate today. I love them both so very much.
