Where Is Rico

An online buddy disappears
And there’s no way to find him.
He’s simply vanished, leaving
All his published poems behind him.

In other cases, people left
But it took me a while
To notice they were gone;
A daily poem was not their style.

When someone who won’t miss a day
And comments with affection 
Just stops his posts, my mind goes
In a worrisome direction.

I've had only one Souper question my absence and that was years ago. I get a good feeling knowing my poems are appreciated, though. / Maurice

Oh noooo. I haven’t been around much, he’s a staple I adore. I do hope that he is well. A lovely day to you dear poetess. I don’t know what the volcano is up to, hopefully it’s just an internet thing. xomo

I just mentioned something on his last limerick day, Ilene. Glad someone else noticed. I said; Missing Rico! I'm sure he is fine, I don't think it has anything to do with the Mauna loa that just blew, they say it's still safe in Hawaii, air quality and those things. Stay well!

Hope he's okay Ilene, you're right he usually posts daily. Tom
