With You I've Grown

If home is where the heart is,

then travelled well am I,

as part of me resides with you

beneath your own blue sky.

For all the verses we have shared,

the friendship you have shown,

I'm thankful for the chance to say,

you poets often make my day,

without you many shades of grey,

but with you how I've grown

Blue sky eh? Well it ain't me you're thanking then :)
Yeah, this place does have its plus side, if you remove the crazies (well, some of them), the trolls and the ads. And if the people who think its match dot com actually used match dot com, it'd be perfect. :)
But hey, nothings peefect. Not even me! (i know, shocker) :)

Thanks Lorry. I am thankful for my fellow poets both here and on other sites I"ve frequented over the years. They have taught me a great deal.

Chris

[Lorry]

Yes, and I have taught you that you are far luckier than you thought. Well, you could have been me :)

[Chris Shaw]

You are a funny man:))

[Lorry]

Na, its the meds :)

A beautiful poem Chris. Yes, poetry is Home for me; a connection with self and a knowing and sharing with others. Love being here too! :) Will put this in my library with pleasure.

[Em Mer]

Wow this is beautiful! I love the emotion and deep connection felt as you read it!

[Chris Shaw]

Many thanks Em Mer for your response. I appreciate your visit.

We seem to 'compliment' each other in some way. I share the same sentiments : Reading some of the most significant poems on here I too have grown. Thank you Writer's Cafe!

We need to read to become better writers. Last three months. I read Hemingway and Salinger. They taught me many lessons. Never trust a Publisher. We learn from each other. I liked your kind words and thought dear Chris. We do need people who love the word.

Thank you Coyote. I learned how to write from reading other poets. I am grateful. Thank you.

It's always good to have a place to go to where you know your friends will be.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Tim. You"ve said it. It's good to have friends who are like minded souls. I don't meet many poetry lovers in the real world.

Ah, this is lovely. And I abs agree. I've been inspired so often by the poets and writers here to write and encouraged even that Idk if I'd have continued without...I think it's all a complete package :))
Nice one, Christine :)
