Tom was going to Norway
arrival in Haugesund on Friday
became seasick at the quay
belly bump and spray
his wife dreamed of Broadway

Welcome to Norway
James Vincent Cunningham
was never one for a poetry slam
For he loved his poetry so concise
with latinstyle epigramsat oh so nice
Alan Cuningham of Dumfries
with poesy would never cease
Rabbie Burns his father's mate
prompted Alan's poetry to create
Tom Cunningham takes on the Grim Reaper
In couplets, divinely humorous and keepers!
Of these, please do not hesitate to read.
Of my fateful words, you’d better heed.
Lest you sit there with a dark frown,
Looking so much like a tragic clown.
Let’s raise a glass, then to Sir Cunningham!
The best, in creative, poetic journalism!

Loyal to the core and beyond no pretense
For years Tom and I have been loyal friends
Nothing's greater than that
My jolly old chap
My extra special friend right to the end
I heard the notification bell. Ding Dong.
Nobody mails me, this time of night,
Only Tom Cunningham.!
With his joy in a a POTD, for a fellow poet,
be it man or a woman.
His unselfishness is astounding!
To sing of another-poet’s success is abounding.
God gave me a POTD today as an Easter gift!
And Tom screen shot it to me.
He hadn’t a second thought, it came so swiftly.
I wish I were across the pond Tom!
I’d give you a well deserved great big hug.
And, a small kiss, on your mug.
Tom is an example for all poets here, to give,
not just prizes to get.
His care for all the planet does deserve a medal.
He pens poems of the real world, to impress you?
Not hardly.
For small things, this man of poetic compassion,
Will not for a second settle.
Thank you Tom!
Easter Blessings, with gratitude.
Love,
Panagiota Romios
Sir Tom Cunningham
Has started a war
It will be a fight
Like never before….
For all Vegemite lovers
It is time to revolt
Even comparing Marmite to Vegemite
Is the ultimate insult!
So gloves off Sir Cunningham
Or are you now an Earl
You’ve now started a war
With the wrong Aussie girl!!
Is exactly who you are!
There for us all, you are a humble,
shining star.
When feeling down, you stand there
for me?
A humble poet, dedicated first, to
God’s divinity.
Then always, at work, you, serving humanity.
You are some special human, who never complains!
Not even in the midst of emotional rains.
You are the Angel of Poetry Soup!
The Lord placed me, in your caring, friendship loop.
Dedicated to Tom Cunningham!

…1…
I made a scrumptious chocolate birthday cake just for you
My only wish, I could deliver it, across the pond to you!
For two years straight, you stood behind me daily.
A trophy, you do deserve, not one day, but three
hundred sixty five, times two, for contacting by
comment or soup mail, you never failed me!
Such a unique poet you are, and endearing, indeed,
to so many.
Love, peppered with humility and peace, are on
your agenda daily.
Tom, you've gone way out of your way,
When I felt abysmally, horribly dismayed!
You are wise, like a philosopher, to recognize the real
poets here, from the phony.
And run from those, who post pure, arrogant baloney.
I wish you health and happiness for so many years.
Wish we could all go to a pub, raise a pint and wish
you happiness, with loving, poetic cheers!
Hugs from the USA,
Panagiota

I got hit hard with a cold,
So, unable to write.
I have penned quite a few,
In the past for you to view!
Stay well my friends.
Your poetess, on the mend!
Thanks Tom, for sending a card.
Makes me want to dance in my

You always go out of your way,
To be sure we have a great day!
