Welcome Back

(Dedication: For Demetrios Trifiatis)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



I often wonder why
Poets come and go;
Change feels so strange


But then again
I salvage reasons;
To fill the vacuum


Some are more
Deeply profound;
Nice and polite


Some we won't miss
No matter what;
Saltless salt!


Yet cheer finds me
In happy moods;
My Greek friend's back


So here I write
In simple lines:
"Welcome back!"


Hope you will
Spin your verses;
Keep fond company


Hope all is well
In your affairs;
Dear Demetrios


It's been four months
Since you've been gone;
Even poesy misses you!

Allow me to echo your feelings Leon; Demi's departure left a gap on this site, but his return more than makes up for it. This is a lovely flowing write; enjoyable. // paul

Dear Demetrios: Your presence among the PoetrySoup community of poets brings a unique contribution. So, I am certainly not the only one who feels this way. Hope you will continue to share your writings and comments regularly. No need to thank me because I am happy that you're back. My best wishes, Leon.
