Today

I thought to write you a song today; my mind still apt -- though my fingers a bit too creaky...had the piano tuned, but it did not make me a Chopin. Decided then on a heartfelt love poem -- went into my Shakespeare persona... then tried Elisabeth and Emily -- Dr. Seuss did not seem to carry the same sentiment -- What the heck!~ a sincere hug and kiss has worked for half a century -- you always know my intentions.

I understand that you are in a very happy mood prone to love and romance. Do you want to write a love sonnet as Shakespeare wrote for her 'Black lady'? Besides a hug and a kiss, a poem too will do the magic! Enjoyed reading your poem. Have been quite busy. Sorry for the late response.

Hi Valsa; late response is OK; better that I know you are well and thriving when not here. Life needs to be full if to write full, beautiful poetry...as you do. Thank you, my friend.
