Ciao George!

I, Vesuvius have written a poem! You have inspired me!


A Poem for George, The Poet

I encourage the Poets,
For that is my vow,
I praise them all,
To all I say ciao!

To all I do listen,
With wide eyes aglaze,
But George is the one,
I hear in a daze.

Apes and Angel glands,
Love, Death and Sin,
I don't know how,
He fits them all in.

His brain runs riot,
And his poems do too!
But I wouldn't change that,
Nor should you.

I encourage the Poets,
For that is my vow,
With over 100 poems,
George, please take a bow!

Vesuvius

Ciao, Vesuvius !

A most lovely gesture on your part , and one that underscores your appreciation of George's ongoing commitment to his writing, which has improved as well . I also like the way his mind is brimming with ideas and images, which I would be powerless to express in his fashion. You also did well with your conciseness and rhyming.

~ Elizabeth

Well Vesuvius, what can i say? I am purred over with your poem and praise. I am glad i have inspired you to write and appreciate your response. Keep on writing.......
Georges

"purred over with your poem" ~ as a cat lover supreme, dang, I wish I'd thought of that thematically-correct response to the writer!

well that was just beautiful!

Thank YOU!



Vesuvius (The New Poet)

I applaud this poem and I applaud the poet to whom it is dedicated!



Praise is too often underrated..

~Taigaku

Well Taigaku, that is praise indeed. Vesuvius must be honoured and as the so called poet in question, i must be also. Thank you.
Georges

Wow Ves!
That was marvelous! The 'birth' of a poet, what a blessed event!
Bravo!
George, you must be a very proud 'Papa' and justifiably so...Take another bow...

Love & Light,
~ Makera

Makera, nice to see you return to the forum. I have missed your nice comments. As for the birth of a poet, as long as i emerge with both arms intact to use the keyboard . Thank you for your kind message, Georges

The 'birth' of a poet, what a blessed event!

~ Wish I'd said that ~

Welcome back, Makera !!! Great to see you !!!

~ Lizzy

Hi George & Lizzy ~

Thank you both for your lovely welcome!
You can blame Taigaku...he has subtle 'powers of persuation'

Anywho, hope you are all 'fighting fit an' givin' cheek'

Love,
~ Gennelle

Ciao Makera,


Yes, welcome back. I am glad Taigaku persuaded you. I thought Taigaku was a she not a he. So now I have to build another image in my mind.

Yes! I am a new poet. But it is harder than I thought. I am working on my second poem. It is about Leonard. I want it to be good. It is not going good. I can't think of the words. It makes me respect George more.



Vesuvius

He He...Hey Ves....don't you know you have to 'suffer for your art'?

Love,
~ Makera

Hi Vesuvius ~

You could even extend that respect, in other directions, toward all the other poets here . It doesn't come easy , but the heart keeps driving the mind to try.
