OLD FRIENDS MEET

A familiar infrequent face
open arms a joyful embrace
enlaced in hefty laughter
thoughts exchanged there after

fresh impressions ushered on to
an abstruse complexion , silence
broken by a scale of remembrance
thoughts exchanged there after .

faint excuses drift, tales prance 
from tip of tongue received with grins  
and quarts of laughter
thoughts exchanged there after .

noted cadence within parting words
envisaged invitations received
auspicious  response in reply
thoughts exchanged there after

You have told me of your luck and vigor
o how i have  missed our rousing titter
without the common word that`s bitter
thoughts exchanged there after.

Hi Ziggy

Ziggy, I really like the thought of this poem! Especially the repeated line of: "Thoughts exchanged there after!" It is a very thoughtful poem, full of hearty emotion and good cheer. My favorite lines are: fresh impressions ushered on to a abstruse complexion , silence broken by a scale of remembrance thoughts exchanged there after . In this line: open arms a joy full embrace (the word should be joyful.) en laced in hefty laughter (the word should be enlaced) I know the spell checker here marks it as wrong, but the dictionary gives it as enlaced. I hope that you are having a pleasant Christmas/ Yule time. This Saturday I am getting together with friends and we are baking Christmas cookies! Yours, always, Cat p.s. Don't feel too bad about not having many readers for these two poems, as it is that time of year where everyone is busy and preoccupied with Christmas/Yule. It seems they have only time to post their poems, but not enough time to comment on other's poems.

Hi Ziggy

I like the change of style of this one; it seems a little different to what I have read of yours. There is a wistful cynicism I seem to pick up from this in the reading that yes we see the joy the anticipation, the crac and stories shared but it is almost as if it is happening and the acknowledgement of the repeated line is that somehow all those promised revisits may never quite happen. A good read by the way and if I was nit picking the line a abstruse complexion , Should read ( an ) Best Wishes Seabhac Solstice comming soon...Happy celebration
