It Is Time To Thank You...My Ph Friends Poem by Sandra Martyres
It Is Time To Thank You...My Ph Friends
I start with my countless dear friends and poetesses
Meggie, Karin, Marilyn, Fiona, Catrina, Christine, Naidz
My namesake Sandra Fowler, Carol, Fay, Allie, Jasmine
Mamta, Amary, Anjali and Roshni just to name a few
I can count on them for a word of advice or two
Every time I post a poem or try out something new
They are the reliable rocks on whom I test my talents
And till today they have never played truant
Next come the three stalwarts from the sunny South
There’s Kesav, Samanyan and Sathya
Also my regular readers Leslie, CP, Jon, Shan,
Ahmad, Lawrence, Vijay, Alf and Dr. Sheth
On whom I also bounce off my poetic ideas
And eagerly await their reviews and comments
To be sure that the other readers will not lament
The two Indiras – outstanding poets in their own right
Reading their work is a poet’s delight
They give an insight into the real and the surreal
Many of their works are poetic pearls
When they review a poem they do so with a focus
If the works are not up to speed, the writers gets pilloried
It would be totally ungrateful of me
If I were not to make special mention of ye
Michael, Carl and Kesav on whose talents
I take the liberty of drawing frequently
To improve my poetry presentation or seek an explanation
To get a better understanding of a new poetic form
And finally to all my friends whom I may not have named
Specifically in this little piece of poetry
I would like to thank you for reading and commenting
So generously on all my good and not so good efforts
Thanks to all of you I am almost glued to this site
Reading and sharing your work has been a real delight
(Inspired by Karin Andersen and Meggie Gultiano)
Good write...it would always be nice and noble if we try to propagate goodwill among our poet friends...thanks for sharing your friendly feels...10
