Dear Maureen
Fellow poet
If I were green 
Would you know it!??

You have a gift
It’s clear to see
Your poems are swift
But, you “see” me

I’m pleased to know
I’ve caught your eye
But running low
On muse supply

I can’t begin
To comprehend 
How, such a talent
Could squeeze me in

How could it be
You find the time
And gracefully 
Address my rhymes

Though not your taste
Not your style
My words, won’t waste
They make you smile

Perhaps it’s small 
But not to me
Your words are all
I need to see

Thank you, friend
