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!

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
