Flatter Me Please

will you avow my worth
with toast of top shelf spirits
give me that spotlight
because I tried
this was written
as my eyes dried
surly you read my Whoa..

"Stop the Press !"
move over Yeats
Pratt, Longfellow
step aside from your pillars
these verses will raise
a new mark for poetry
.. or make a nice hanky

Yep - love this. It's good to read your work again my friend. I will be catching up over the next week hopefully. Made me smile- great writing. Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.

Thank you Kaz..

I am hoping to get on here more regular soon as well.. as I wrap up other interest. This had to do with a back lash of poems I got from a friends girl friend when she heard I wrote poetry.. I have begun to coach her work.. she wanted to come on here.. I figured I'de give her a little time to write through her heart.. in journal form.. A very tender lady she turned out to be.. my friend.. he owes me for this.. hehe in ink, Dabbler ps telling them what you think in a way they will accept it.. without offense.. a priceless thing I learned here at Neopoet. She is more likely to accept my praise when I give it, in light of disappointing feedback.
