Who's This About

~ So many poets and so many pens, awesome the talent I see Here as I read among all of my friends, one poet stands out to me Always so kind with a nice word to say, bringing a smile to this place Wonderful artistry out on display, posting a furious pace Often the words come across so much fun, humor at their own expense Sometimes they’re sad and completely undone, definitely thoughts quite intense Politics, blizzards and cats if you care, subjects that float ‘cross the mind Limericks, rhyming and free verse to share, no telling what you might find Still it’s their friendship that shines ever bright, no matter what you might think Somehow their comments make everything right, penned with a magical ink By now you’re wondering, who’s this about, now I will tell you the who Not in a whisper for this I must shout, Gershon, this poems for you ~
For you buddy
