How do you feel
After splattering your heart across a page
Do you feel freer
Or instead, enraged
Does it motivate you
To spill out some more
Or does it shake you
To your very core
How do you feel
After you’ve poured it all out
Like you want to scream
Or maybe even shout
Or do you feel lighter
Free as a bird
For now perhaps
You’ve finally been heard

Participating in dVerse open link night. Come join in the fun!
Wild as the sea
Willful and free
Beautifully unconstrained
Exposed and untamed
Wondrously informal
Elegantly abnormal
Casual and breezy
Lighthearted and easy
Vivacious and playful
Forever faithful

To my friends
The ones who write
Always bringing smiles
Both day and night
Each one of you
Is so very dear
I’ve grown to love you all
Over the years
So here’s my tribute
Meant for you
All these words
Sincere and true
First there’s Carl
My best friend ever
No longer writing on blogs
But I’ll love him forever
Second is Dorinda
In whom I can always depend
Think she’ll be a kindred spirit
Until the very end
Third there’s Walt
Who’s like a father to me
Always sharing his love
For all to see
Forth is Ivor
So sweet and caring
Very thoughtful
And always sharing
Fifth is Michael
Full of frivolity and fun
He’ll keep you laughing
Until the day is done
Sixth there’s Tessa
I’ve known her from the start
She spends her days
Sharing her heart
Seventh is Anthony
Who is very creative
His thoughts on life
Are often relative
Eighth is Chantel
My newest friend
Someone who anyone
Can truly depend
Ninth is Diana
Always willing to assist
Full of knowledge
None can resist
Tenth is Devereaux
Who is like a son
Think he can inspire
Just about anyone
And to all the rest
Who I haven’t mentioned here
Hope you know who you are
Because I hold you all dear
Much love to you
On this tenth day of December
Your continued love and support
I’ll always remember
