Neonights to talk and learn
Write our poetry and yearn
To improve our writing skill
Perhaps to make our dreams real

Meet poets from far away
Read what they have to say
Fancy flights of imagination
Soar to strange destinations

A vampire's sweet kiss of death
A werewolf to take your breath
Climbing mountains to the sky
Sprouting wings so you can fly

Love refreshing as summer rain
Insights to make you writhe in pain
All and more on the written page
Ever here for you to guage

Come one, come all to Neonights
Maybe you'll make it to spotlight
Learn what things are soon to be
Lend an ear to our company

Thank you my friend

It makes me very happy to know you enjoyed it. I am the same way. I love this place and the people here. I have also received much help here. I may be an old man, but I am never too old to learn.

That was fun. We should put

That was fun. We should put a page of these Neo tributes together, I have read a few, and written one or two. Hhmmm I used to know just the person to talk to about such things, but he recently retired his postion. I wonder what else could be done? JK Paw, that was really great read. And I think most do "love it here" {me to}!
