The Secret to Hugh Success

Missing image
~by Gregg Rowe~

I met this man named Hugh two years ago
Rightfully he is our website King
I bow down on my knee to kiss his ring
He's taught me the meaning of the Golden Bough
When I was going through times very low
He rounded up friends, they came here to sing
He listens to stories of my sex flings
For the past two years my poetry flows
Then I became ill, then I disappeared
Comforting e-mails save life from a mess
I fall deep into the abysses sand
I start drinking my share of beer
The secret is out for Hugh success
It's the glass of scotch held in his hand.

    almost perfect sonnet

    Shaving or adding a syllable here
    and there would be easier without beer.

    You seem to sum up Hugh very well. Your words dance on the page as I envision Hugh dancing after a few drinks. LOL. Peace be with you.

    Thank you

    Hugh: I know I have never really said this to you, but I have so much deep respect for you in what you did for me over the past two years during my heart oepration and HepC treatment. You rounded up people on my Fav's List and rounded up more on your own and then the messages came for me when I was medically down...yet this messages continued to bring me hope in life, love and happiness. I applaud you and am humbled to know such a great poet, teacher and mentor who lives half-way around the world from me but our soulls were destined to meet by cosmic forces to bring us together.

    Gregg

    Dear Gregg,

    Methinks your lofty peroration
    is worth a kiwi type ovation -
    not just a standing Montreal marker,
    but something like an All Black haka!
    Let it not be just idly sitting
    for words so eminently fitting
    but, with a stomp that rattles doors
    and shakes the timbers of the floors,
    make deafening our wild applause!

    Thanks Buddy! Hugh.

    Compassionate Write

    Gregg, we are fortunate to have souls in our midst who sincerely care for others -- I think you experienced that love from many on this website. Thank you for writing such a heartfelt poem. You reminded me once again of situations where we can be of help, and apparently Hugh Wyles made a deep impression on you in this respect. I am so glad.

    Be well, beloved Soul.

    Love

    Myra

      HI Catz

      So good to be back, guess it is time to get reading. Let,s start with the muses of writing first and work our way up.

      The story is too long to right in a message so as with my heart operation I will be spewing my ink over my last treatment. But I will be around more often. Thanks for the comment and stopping by to what I consider a medicore poem, not bad for a start of a comeback though.

      Gregg
