Poet of the Ordinary

Poet of the Ordinary

A Poem by The Analog Kid
"

For a sweet friend Emily. She is always there.

"
Emily is always there
when I need a friend to care

Some say she talks with the birds
but I think 
she's just great with the words

yes
she is steeped 
in the battlefield


yet
sometimes
I just need 

to carry 
those words 
with me
as a shield

thank you for the lovely tribute, i used to think that i wasn't here to write poetry at all, but to be some little mother hen, tending all the troubled poet hearts . . .

but today, it just occurred to me, how much life has happened in this place, as dark as last year got, i want to have a tangible reminder the next time depression sneaks up on me, i want my family to know what i do here

It's quite true all you've said...
This is an endearing tribute. I know Emily a little and she has never been anything but kind, supportive and absolutely lovely. Both of you are quite awesome!

WC needs a "like" button. I'd be hitting that b***h for days...
She should be smiling for days now. I don't know Emily...only "know of her" she sounds like a kindred spirit.....
