From Afar

From the other side of the world
In the quiet of our sleep,
Some friends perhaps we’ll never see
Into our forum creep.
To them our world is upside down.
We’re standing on our heads.
When we awake to read their words,
They’re dreaming in their beds.
This diverse and far-flung group
Brought together by Poetry Soup.

And isn't it a wonderful play, Joyce? Wonderful tribute you have written. Lainie. P.S. Also thank you for congratulating me on my win in this contest - unfortunately I accidently deleted the Poem " The Shore of Evermore", so it no longer appears on the winners list. I did; however repost the poem. Congrats your your SUPER WIN. lAINIE,
