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.

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! ")

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.

I liked this from beginning to end. The last two lines made me smile for it is true when we see a name at the end what we usually think if we are contest holders!

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.
