Lindley, 11-11-2019 Rhyme, (Thirty verses composed to honor a dear poet friend that turned thirty today) "My friend, such is this poem, its heart true its splashed ink, sincere gift unto you! And in return this old poet found this touch from poetry's goddess, her sweet kiss!" Quote: " She that sends verses to this seeking heart, shall forever, greater wisdom impart."- by RJL " Celle qui envoie des vers à ce coeur qui cherche, doit pour toujours, une plus grande sagesse conférer." Note: Composed this morn, before the birds sang before the old red rooster's first call rang as steaming hot coffee I sat to drink a poet, from Life's duties, will not shrink! He that gives to others, reaps seven-fold, treasures that can never be bought or sold I was told, Life's treasures are to be found beyond horizon's glow, far out of bounds!
