A LOST FAVORITE

THE FAVORITE—LOST!

–

“No hard feelings?” she asked,

His feelings were masked…

His favorite lost

Because of the cost

Of beimg bolder than brass.

–

She said it with a smile,

Walking out in her style…

He barely said

HIS feelings led

To anything but a smile!

–

He had shared too closely

Some personals in poetry…

She took offence

And then hence

Gave him notice, you see.

–

Friends at a distance, okay,

The closer ones…pain every day…

Regrets too late

A loss to hate,

Have to hide it every day!

–Jonathan Caswell

APPRECIATED

APPRECIATED

Morgan and Janet drew near

To say their poem was dear…

Appreciating

My participating

In memories Janet found dear.

–

Morgan is slowing down,

Of dog years she’s plied up a mound…

Moving slower

(We’re glad we know her)

Along familiar ground.

–

Janet shared memories

Of her dog, running with ease…

Of long ago

Letting me know

She appreciates poems like these.
