A True Salute

Missing image


Open a page and read with excitement
The words you can see on the screen
Of thoughts so provoking and meant with intent
That will make your heart let out a scream

Of world shadowed struggles and strife that we see
They’ll be there with a message to all
This place we call home is for you and for me
But it isn’t always a ball

So hear what she says and take heed of her words
For you know they are straight from her heart
And to be true and honest we’d all feel the hurt
If this place she did surely depart

Some writes she does tempered when on her soapbox
But the message is always so clear
She hits the point straight not sly like the fox
And we all give a warm welcome cheer

Now sometimes she can catch us when we are asleep
When the wee hours of darkness are there
But she’ll comment on poems like a bird with a cheep
And she peeks, as we lay our souls bare

With a mind like an angel she’ll take you away
To a place full of dreams and desires
With words softly spoken in a breeze they will sway
As you’re thoughtful emotion aspires

Then like thunder she’ll clap on one of your own
When you post something silly, you’ll see
That to be on the list of favourites she owns
Write your words like the nectar from bees

Now to capture her heart is a tough thing to do
She won’t wane to the sound of a fool
Tease gently the words that come straight from you
And remember to try and stay cool

She will honour your presence when you call her name
And leave comments on writes that she does
And like trustworthy friends she’ll do just the same
When you write something peaceful like doves

Please don’t be misled by the these lines that you’ve read
And think you should be part of her world
For to stand such a chance your words will have bled
Do it right and her hair will have curled?

Now this Lady I speak of has natural charm
When she takes on a contest or two
And if love is the topic your mind she will calm
And your heart she will simply just woo

Takes pride in her work and sets her sights high
Like a gunner she aims proud and true
You’ll know she has done it when you softly sigh
When her words have been written for you

But she pulls the shots when a challenge she sets
To write words for a trophy to win
You’ll see if you try, the better it gets
Then you know you’ll have won without sin

 

Now a secret I'll tell you, of this lady so fare

In her heart lies a lover, thats true 

So forget giving chase she has no time to spare

You'll only end up feeling blue


Now to those who still wonder of who this writes for
Take a look at the picture above
You’ll see it’s been written with passion and pride
But most of all written with love

Dedicated to
CANNONSFIRE.

    Well, where do I start? I could begin by saying I love the picture, the words, the sentiments, emotions, but then who wouldn't? This is written with such feeling that I am humbled by its words, you make me seem so much more than I truly am, which is just a wee Aussie lass trying to get by in this world like all do. So I think I'll just say that...dear Mike, my so called 'bad influence' lol you have delighted me beyond words and I love it so very much, now can you pass the tissues for my eyes are leaking Love, Chez

    Well DONE

    WEll, I see this cannon has you fired up for writing a beautiful poem. It is so well written with kindness, caring and admiring thoughts of this lovely poet. I hope the cannon balls never blow off her halo for she sounds like one sweet angel. Seriously, this is a wonderful tribute to her. I don't know her but she and I frequent the same bars, I mean poetry pages. ...
