For you, Budgie :)

We ride the waves, Budgie my friend Sometimes they crash us on the shore But you and I are so much more Than little heaps of helpless sand Slipping through fingers of our hands We write our poems with so much fun I throw a line, you grab the bait You count your syllables.... eight I make them ten! Then ad some pun You choose a title.... And we're done We ride the waves, Budgie my friend Sometimes fly high, and then we crash Lie low a while, but then we dash Right back, finish what we did not end For after sleep, we're on the mend! This is not a sonnet you know, the syllables do not match But who cares, we have a next poem to catch! *** Copyright © Darren White April 26, 2017

When I'm dumped by life's surf! I oft peruse my crane bag again and again! Then I find a little gem! That reminds me what it's all about! ~~~/|\~~~

This is so dear to me that I must simply add it to my Crane Bag! I am rendered speechless! (Besides, if you talk out aloud to yourself you get locked up). Terrifying but true! Thank you so much, my friend! And yes, we have lots of fun too! ~~~/|\~~~

Always my friend, and wherever we are, no matter how low, we always find each other again for a new poem :)

It is so much more exciting when you are riding the waves with a friend. You can hit highs or lows, but you never get tired of the thrill, and you will always come back for more.) Amitiés

Regardless of what we count, we can always count on something fantastic from you my friend. You two do make a great poetic team, here's hoping you ride these waves for a very long time.

Indeed, so do I, I have this built in rhythm and cadence thing, plus the years of working with Arabic meter does that to you.

I stopped doing that and let my inner voice lead me.

Haha, tell Budgie that! He's always counting his syllables!
