To Daver From Andrea

D enver, Colorado was the place that Dave called home. A fterward, he headed east and learned to write a poem! V iolins he loved to play and did professionally, E njoying his years in many a symphony. R etired, now in Michigan, he thrives on poetry. A mong the many poets here, Dave’s one of a kind. U tter fun and introspection in his work you’ll find. S upport of fellow poets, Daver likes to lend. T hanks to him I give for being a good friend. I njustice I have done you, Dave, with these lines so few. N ine cats you shelter know there’s no one else as sweet as you! *Daver is the name that Dave Austin goes by. He was among the first poets here to greet me and become a very good friend of mine, even doing book exchanges with me and later buying my most recently sold chapbook online. Daver, I appreciate your support and am very glad to have met you here at Soup! (also, he loves mythology and has written numerous poems based on myths.) One of the outstanding poems of his that I love is called “Brother - Billy.” Just type it in with his name and check it out! It’s on one of those last pages that few people visit past our regular 200 poems that are easier to see. For the Gift Exchange Contest of P.D.
