Michael Degenhardt Poet Quatrain

For You and Thanks

It is with true heart that most here write
Reading then should be pure delight
Along the way we may make some friends
To all those old and new
This, then is for you

Thank you for being the way that you are
Without encouraging words we’d all lose our way
Quiet or speaking, matters not what you do
Matters that you are there, most every day

We sign on to write, to share and to dream
We read and recite, review, laugh and cry
It seems that the poets here on this site
Do more than just write; they are the “just why”.

Just why do we come and write and then post?
With hopes that someone will offer some praise
We get more than that, come on, don’t we folks?
We bond, make friends and just share all our days.

So thank you to you, my friends, to those who inspire
For people like you, here, is why we all stay.
And thank you to all those poets, who read now
You are the true lights that brighten each day.
