Dear Neopoets

I planned to write this in my blog, but my fingers flew
so I ended up with this, a poem, bright and new:

I'm sorry for my slow replies, my missing out on many writes
life has been difficult of late and swallowed too much time
I swear I will catch up with you, but I have to take small bites
to that end I sat down and wrote this fluffy little rhyme

To those who sent me words of love and listened to my fears
I'd like to say a big "Thank you" for offering their ears
and if you have been one of them, you may now feel embraced
for you have helped me through this time, the hardest I have faced

Sigh. I’m always humbled.

Sigh. I'm always humbled. When one is faced with adversity, how one is still as kind as ever. Others fly off... And isn't this the difference between fluffy unimportant stuff and break-your-heart reality? Leaders will always show the way, be inspirations.

Promise you wont breathe fire on me A lovely piece heart felt and worth every word, you know that we are here for you at all times for you to call or message. There is no reason on his earth that a person should be alone when they are not their best. Your Light was still there for us to see, forgive this old man for not knowing of you troubles so that he to could reach out with his hand and hold some of those troubled ways. We walk together so that we can share, or help someone to throw away their troubles, You take good care of You and talk to us as you wish to,Yours Ian.T

We are solidarity and permanence

Ann of Norway Are you skipping and dancing and joyful because this is what you sent to me in this poem and that is always a gift to all, and we are given a light foot and a smile on our faces that we could in any small way do the same for you, thank you,; and we are glad you feel its over, the gloom of things past, and now can feel relief and start anew as you imply. I think of all the things we poets do we offer our hands to other poets knowing that there lies some modicum of fear or despair in our being thrown into the poets lot, and this we do with all our hearts and minds when we do, in true poetic style, whole heartedly supporting any that are inflicted with pain of any sort. We are solidarity and permanence in spite of appearing flighty and otherwise. So if we helped we are thankful to you for receiving our help. Love to you dear Nina and strength too. Oh LOOK just now the pastel greens of the delicately snowed on hills are coloured by the low suns rays, the hills just behind them are blue and the sky a leaden grey, the birches in the foreground dull purple and rust, I just caught sight of it and had to tell you. A painting of the present Nina for you to savour even though its far away!

Sorry I got to this one late Nina

My pleasure Nina

I will be in Bonn probably a number of times each year from now on since I have a growing collaboration with a Clinical Psychiatrist in the University there and we are set to do a large amount of new research together. I will let you know when my next visit will be. With my best wishes...and of course a hug..Keith
