For Paul Callus

FOR PAUL CALLUS Paul, this short poem is for you alone, Wish you lived closer, I’d tell you on the phone, You have been the cornerstone of Poetry for me, A tutor in a way, An incredibly honest person Who writes talented poems You write brilliantly, and you are clever, Whether Historical, romantic, serious or funny, Before I answer some of your poems I definitely research them to see if I’m right, Not all, just a few. I know all Soupers respect and like you A lot, hope the feeling is mutual, where I am concerned, Alpha to Omega Was a rhymed poem but I suddenly noticed After it had been posted That a good friend of mine had not been noted A friend that has supported me Through-out my two years with this group Called Poetry Soup, Had in error, not been mentioned, Certainly not intentioned! All I can say is please accept my apology I was working on two poems at a time, ‘Eve of Storms’ involved in mythology Paul, this I knew I wanted and needed to say, And, to wish you a relaxed and happy Sunday
