Garland of Pen Friends - A Poem
Background
I wrote this poem as a tribute to some of my regular followers, who themselves are excellent writers, and through Hubpages, have become my pen friends of sorts. My humble tribute is an acknowledgement and appreciation for always being there as a soulful audience for my work.
If I have missed anyone, please know it was unintentional.
The Poem
Visible paths of wisdom you chart
Through your writing lessons, dear annart
Breaking the monotonous work-life chain
Your soothing poetry arrives, dear snakeslane
To another realm, another world of verità
Soulful sonnets carry, from dear manatita
Dark satire, mysterious crime, incidents socio
At the brink of thrill each time, from dear Frank Atanacio
The golden nectar suckled by the swift bees
Thus opens up your poetry lines, dear threekeys
Flora, fauna, oceans, or a shrine, like a pagoda
Your rainbow of poetry - true delight, dear Jodah
Colorful gems from the nib of your pen
Flow through your sanguine words, dear Li-Jen
As a flavorful, well-blended margarita
A garland of pen friends, woven by Senoritaa

AUTHORThat was very kind and sweet of you, Li-Jen. Thanks again.
Haha. Thank you for the generous comment, Rinita. :) I describe but it cannot replace the poet's original meaning of the poem. :) I am learning from you and other poets. Lastly, you have taught me how to appropriately respond when I am at loss for words. ;) *wink*

Thank you, Li-Jen. It is never too late. As my friend and fellow hubber Verlie (snakeslane) once said - poetry has no expiry date. You are an amazing describer, at times can explain the meaning of poems better than the poet herself/himself. You should seriously consider becoming a poetry analyst. I am truly happy to have you as a part of my garland. Keep writing, and my best wishes for your results.
Ohh and so sorry for the late reply.. I was busy preparing for my exam in early September.
Hey Rinita, I enjoyed how your poem introduces each hubber creatively in each stanza: Sweet, succinct with a meet and greet rhythm like handshaking each one of us. I admire how you managed to use your sharpness in observation to summarize our work. I feel touched. Thanks for including me Rinita. Your poem is one of the best gifts I've received and thanks for the encouragement. Keep writing, Rinita. :)
