Laura Dear Laura

Recently made contact with a delightful new friend A “new” friend relatively speaking Known sweet Laura for quite some time But lately her comments have been most intriguing Strangely she finds my poetry appealing A “straight from the hip” old miser No big fancy lingo, no wasteful five syllable words That you need a thesaurus to decipher I owe this sweet lady a huge debt of gratitude For her support and continued applause Never once thought of myself as a real true poet Only interested in the smiles they can cause Well hopefully you will have guessed by now The Laura is Laura Breidenthal The sweetest true friend I have ever ever had She's helped me realize my potential So Laura dear Laura, I send you my heart I offer it with no strings attached It's yours to do with as your heart desires My love for you is totally unmatched Recently made contact with a delightful new friend A “new” friend relatively speaking Known sweet Laura for quite some time But lately her comments have been most intriguing © Jack Ellison 2015

This is all so overwhelming my dearest Laura!!! The absolute coincidence was totally mind blowing and then to be chosen POTD was the topper! Sometimes there's no explaining these happenings... fate? kismet? Whatever it's called, it surely indicates a strong and loving bond! One that I will cherish until my very last breath! As I said, even with the decades that separate us, our bond is unbreakable!

Woke up this morning and it was down for a couple of hours here! Not sure how long it was down before that! We survived!!! LOL Intend to get to writing more lengthy quatrains in the next while! So great to talk again... big tight squeezy hugs and much love... Jacko xxxx
Date: 5/20/2015 12:47:00 PM
Ummm... Intriguing... Now we know how to bait those traps! Now we'll have Santa Jack and LimmerJack trapped in no time at all... But just not sure what we'll do with him when we get him? I think as he says... The fun is in the chasing! LOL

Until I got onto this limerick kick, quatrains were just about all I wrote! You have my personal invitation to go back and check a few if your little ole heart desires!!! LOL Love ya, sweet Judy! xxxx

You write very good longer poems too. I know we all love your limericks, but you are excellent at these quatrains too. Laura will love this. It's a great thank you!
