Richard Lamoureux-For Contest

Richard Lamoureux-figured out Richard Lamoureux, even his name speaks of love. The LOST AND FOUND kind of love The kind of love that can contemplate THE EDITING OF ME. Richard is a true realist, never MINCING WORDS, he says it like it is, but with a kind manner. He is LISTENING FOR A CHANGE, because that is what BEING HUMAN is all about, and that's what he does best. HIS HUNGER is for truth and justice, with a little SWEET SCOUNDREL LIES, thrown in the mix. WHAT YOU DON'T SEE in his words, are THE LOVELY BONES, RUNNING AT THE SPEED OF LIFE! Richard wants to CHANGE THE WORLD, and the key he has, IMBEDDED IN PAGES, so it's a little hard to find. Richard always asks WHERE DO POETS GO? I don't know where he is now, but I DO know he was, on the SKYTRAIN, BUT HE'S NOT SHOPPING. I know, because he came home with a CUP OF EMPTY, maybe that's how he knows that BIG GIRLS DO CRY! Richard and I share similar backgrounds, and we yearn for the same things, a fathers love for example. We, KEEP TRYING TO REACH BEYOND WHAT WE HAVE REACHED, TRYING TO GRASP THE MAGNIFICENT. If we keep trying, Richard, maybe there will be LIGHT SUSPENDED, ABOVE FOREVER, for us. October 16,2016 Got you figured out contest

Thanks Richard, this was an easy one for me, feels like I've known you for years. Your poetry is a reflection of who you are so who better to describe you than you! Glad you liked it!

John, this is great how you did this contest and you did indeed capture his essence through the clever use of titles! Richard should love this. I came to your poems looking for an example of your ten words, but don't know which poem it would be. Anyway, I enjoyed finding this one, for Richard is one of the most wonderful people here at Soup.
