A π Word π From π You
πSomeπ Wordsπ Forπ Anπ Inspirational πFriendπ
Introduction
I have not written a poem for a friend for a while, but I have one close friend who inspires me just by talking with me. I cannot explain this and certainly do not analyze it. I love talking with her and afterward, so many ideas come flowing out of the ether.
Recently I have done a number of stories for the Vocal "Painted Prose" challenge, but it is time for a thank you villanelle for my wonderful friend.
I included "So Much Love" by Dusty Springfield because it came on my player when I started writing this and it is a beautiful song.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

That's so beautiful! You know, I forgot how much I loved Dusty's voice! This was a pleasurable experience all the way around. :)
Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem with us, Mike!
Lovely poem, Mike! Looks like you have an excellent friend. :-)
I'm so glad that there is a support system for you, my supportive and understanding friend.
How lucky you are - particularly if it helps with your creativity! π Thanks for sharing your poem. I had a friend from the states call me this morning (it had been a while) and Iβm in Australia, but it made my day! βΊοΈ
