Straight From My Heart

I have just had a look to see
What interesting comments
Rico and Milt have left for me
I am upset and sad to say
Both of these fine poets
Have passed away.
I miss these two accomplished men,
Who will never write to me again?
I feel an urgent need to say
I feel honoured that you came my way,
RIP

Oh Shirley that is so real and beautiful and straight from your heart. I know you truly had a connection with both. Debx

Incredibly, friendships can be formed by poets' written words when you have never met them. Thank you, Heidi, for your comment. Happy New Year to you and yours. Look after yourself, Shirley
