PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

it was

'The Way Your Words Spoke To Me'

that sat you apart

beginning with an honest compliment

that peaked my whimsical vanity

I was quite taken

almost near agape

cheerfully stunned

awash in the unexpected flattery

and to find such genuine appreciation

from a youth bedazzled

Shakespeare loving sort

the colors and the shapes

the textures and the tones

of those flaunting  phrases

in your own untempered weaving

made me smile for the poet

you will only better become

alas keep in touch I say

my deeply thinking fellow poeteer

you wear the cloaks of all your words

so very well

but

now flesh them out and grow solidly

into them

for the force of your wish to further express

to the world

your reverent marriage of words and ideas

that is the ceremony I'd love to one day

attend

so thank you

for this remarkable introduction today

you gave to us both

dare I make a wager

that neither of us will forget this moment soon................
