He Wrote Me a Sonnet

Dear Friends: Today is a special
day for me. My poem, Ballad of
Mistress Moon was chosen as 
Poem of the Day. It came at a
right time because I've been 
feeling rather depressed about 
my writing skills and abilities of late.
You have no idea how this has
cheered my spirits. I'm SO in love
with writing. It is the passion of
my life. It is more than a hobby.
It is my lifeline...

The second lovely occurrence
is that a very kind sweet poet 
here has written and posted a 
wonderful sonnet of dedication
to me. Robert Lindley's dream
of a sonnet, Moon, Light that 
Celestial Path, has deeply touched
my heart not only for its literary
beauty but also for the kind spirit
in which it was written. I'd like to
thank you, Robert, for lifting my
spirits with this tribute. It has done
me worlds of good. Bless you for 
your kindness to me. I was in need
of it today.

With gratitude,
Eileen

Sorry for the strange formatting.
The words at the end of the lines
keep getting cut off!

Thanks my friend. Was my honor to write a humble sonnet for you. After all , it was your poem that gave the inspiration! I just let the words flow on out... Easy peasy it was.... "Can not sing so I give no tune, write a few words about the moon, ink to paper so very quickly it flew, subject was poetry, heart and you" !!

Hi sweetie! Yes...some of my friends here know my heart better than my "REAL" friends...People say cybernet is a false world. It is not...sometimes...it is better than the real world. Oh, but I'm waxing eloquent. I have time on my hands...I'm on holiday...my husband is busy with work and studies and my daughter is over at her cousin's house for a sleep over. What would I do without poetry? Will read right away. Give Robert's sonnet a read, and tell him I send ya! Hugs
