What can I say, but Thank You for your lovely poem.

You're welcome feather.

Obviously I'm no poet but this was my first and actually only serious attempt I ever made to write something poetic. The words are heartfelt and I actually wrote them on a scrap of paper one day while I was driving home from work thinking about SAM and the Foxhole and the "poem" just happened!

Since then I find that when I try too hard to write another one, I just can't seem to come up with anything.

I think I'll leave the real poetry to you! ;)

That is the answer don't try. But do write down ides or lines as they come. Then some time put them together a poem to make.

I have been writing many years that makes a difference. Just keep writing snippy, it will come in time.

When I attended the convention last month the society gave eveyone books on how to write poetry. I threw mine out.
