Written - 2nd January 2025

Golden is silence, words often said Written words linger inside one’s head Poets have ways of leaving their mark In the stars and inside someone’s heart. Reader and writer may never meet Yet words swing along to one's heartbeat It’s a poets gift of art come through That lifts one's spirit when life is blue. Poems of love leave one warm and snug Alike being tucked up in a rug Those of faith, there’s many can relate They guide folk to the Lord’s golden gate. Tribute poems melt the toughest hearts They mean so much, are top of the charts To recipients words mean a lot They're alike sweets from a candy shop. Poetic humour brightens one’s day A laugh a day keeps the grumps away And in the silence of loneliness Cheer up poems are simply the best.

Beryl, here's to cheering people up! There's too much pain and suffering in this world, and it's a blessing to read what you write. We should all have more of this in our lives! Smiles!!!

Oh I love this Beryl. My home has become so quiet. My adopted son is twenty-one years old now, and he and his two siblings use to keep this place rockin with chatter, music and play. They are grown up now though happily still residing at home. He came into the family room yesterday and commented how quiet it was, he said "Do you hear the silence?" I have been. I miss the old days, it is too quiet. But I do find solace in the poetry of others, faith, tributes, laughs! Poets need each other :) <3

Bj, thank you so much, how wonderful that you built a home filled with children’s laughter and love. Silence can be golden when thinking of the past, wonderful memories that will always come back. Poets do need each other, it makes the writing worthwhile to know our poetry gets read… Beryl :)

So many different types of poems. I love the humorous ones but occasionally I dabble with the dark side of things. Lovely poem though.

Thank you Victor, I like a dabble in the dark occasionally too, but most of all I like Limericks the best… Beryl
