I'm not sure where I left off in my rereads of your oldies. But here is one I did not see in a long while and I still LOVE it.

Dear Harry, I am only a novice POET compared to YOU, so please do not take offence. My favorite forms of POETRY are Haiku,Senryu, Free Verse, Rhyme, and lately Narrative. I suppose because of the word TEA this is a Haiku; otherwise it is a Senryu. I enjoy how YOUR Title is YOUR POEM. Superb Quill. With LOVE ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Eternal Liege...Harry Soup Mail Call in case I forgot on William H. Davies POEM

HI, Harry, I enjoyed this one, though I don't really think it is a haiku. It's really hard to find poems of my friends of whom I have been reading constantly . Let me look now for another poem.
