For my friend

In Western Kent a lady sits,
Penning poems, sad as night.
When every word and feeling fits;
She knows it's right.

Nostalgia for some better times,
When lives were lived at simple pace.
Each thought encased in perfect rhymes,
And gentle face.

Poems of love or rural bliss
Are well within the range she sweeps.
Perhaps a most erotic kiss.
From passion's deeps.

And now she pens a Sapphic ode
Of nature red in tooth and claw
She's headed down another road
Of poets lore

Author notes

For Sue Cardwell my fellow judge and friend, a really fine poet who writes wonderfully simple and evocative rhyme, check her out.

    For once you have me at a loss
    With you Jeff I could not be cross
    Although you're green there is no moss
    Thanks for being my friend

    You always know just what to do
    When I'm down and feeling blue
    Few words spoken, always true
    I know you'll be my friend

    You've taught me much I didn't know
    What path to take which way to go
    You pick me up when I am low
    You'll always be my friend

    Thank you xx
