Jennifer Proxenos Poet Rhyme

Our Friend

Hey there Mister Bobby May,
I am sure I speak for all
When I say, 
That you are a steadfast poet
On Soup, your poems are of note,
Your charm and warm charisma
Are like hot chocolate and vanilla
Ice cream, 
Your passion for poetry sails
On fluffy white clouds that
Journey in your vivid imagination,
With breath-taking fertile fascination,
Arriving at Awesome destinations,
Elating us all with your intense 
Poetic creations,
So although it’s your poetry contest,
Perhaps I and many others
Would, with the fondest
Of thoughts, choose you as a friend, 
Because the gems you have penned
Deserve to be mentioned,
For you always seriously evoke
Our devoted attention.

This poem is not for Bobby May’s contest.
It is for you Dear Bobby May.

Quoth Theraven October 8, 2019 at 9:54 AM Jennifer, I have enjoyed many of Bobby's engaging poems over the months. Just this morning he wrote about the wonders of the internet & Windows 95. Brought back fond memories of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in the movie 'You've Got Mail'. Thank you both! ") Jennifer Proxenos October 19, 2019 at 3:36 PM What a lovely comment Richard - I was about to visit Bobby but for some reason opened this page up and saw your comment - Bobby is a very kind soul, and I thought it fitting to choose him as everybody's friend. Hugs, Jennifer.

Jennifer Proxenos September 24, 2019 at 1:36 PM Hi SO thank-you - it was not actually for the contest but it was a tribute for Bobby suggesting that any one of us could have picked him for a friend, if he wasn't the sponsor. Hugs, Jennifer.

Tom Cunningham September 24, 2019 at 8:35 AM Haha you've won, congratulations Jennifer. But you're right about our good friend Bobby. Lovely tribute. Tom Jennifer Proxenos September 24, 2019 at 11:57 PM All is OK with the move but as our houses empties and boxes pile up, its beginning not to looks like our home anymore prefer going into our garden which is still in tact but will be taking with me many of our pots - thanks for asking Tom. I love electrical storms as long as I watch them through glass a t home or through a restaurant window. They are magnificent! Blessings, Jennifer. Tom Cunningham September 24, 2019 at 3:11 PM Having a great time here, electrical storm at the moment, quite spectacular. Hope all's ok with the move. Tom Jennifer Proxenos September 24, 2019 at 12:35 PM Bobby is a very gentle, kind man Tom. I thought that he would like the idea of one of us choosing him as a friend, this way we all get to do it! Blessings, Jennifer. How is Turkey?
