Iris E. Sankey- Lewis Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Where Do Poets Go

A certain poet said she was thrilled, sitting down 
Viewing world of us, mounting PS's platform

yes, she was ecstatic, maneuvering keys
On borrowed time and gadget, she wouldn't leave

A day of family gathering, she stole moments alone
Twiddled with words that led her on and on

Thoughts and smiles were shared, on sheets of white
I was in awe, poetry soup to her was such delight

Coy lioness with Jamaican warmth in her eyes
Her poems found spot in anthologies, undisguised

I Hope she's cooking up her best, sans stress
She would laced exotic smells to Soup fixings, no less

Poets arrive then disappear; but some we worry about
Some refresh our taste buds; so what do we do when they're out?

We write...I have met such lovely people on poetry sites. I think we must be dreamers dreaming of the good life, things we never had when we were young. I like the way you write. Not too fancy for my tastes. And real. I like real poetry. I talk too much. lol Iris E. Sankey- Lewis March 30, 2016 at 9:12 AM Thank you Shaunda. You're in for countless treats, and we, in return will be delighted by your share. Have a lovely day.

Peace and Love, Millard Lowe. Iris E. Sankey- Lewis February 16, 2016 at 3:16 PM Thank u dear one, but I had to edit.
