Author's Note
Important bit: a note strictly to self, a good poem in my opinion would be some poem that'll help all readers, ease their burdens, pains and take them to a peaceful place atleast for the time they're reading.
you may call it the sequel or a twin of one earlier scribble

well... dear Artist admired!!
welcome!!
welcome is your presence glowing
welcome is the affection.
basically, it was a note, a reminder or you can sa kick in the hindside to self
to focus on the poems essence rather than it's finite and abstract quality of aiming for poetic perfection.
Honestly, most semantically, schematically, grammatically and poetically perfect poem is a useless waste of ink if it doesn't help no one but the poet's ego of writing a perfect poem. who needs perfect when good does thr true and reals 'good' i.e. helps the reader.
your inks do that effortlessly and seamslessly- what you've described above. i.e. the sync and if that ain't art...well am shaking my bald head!!
honored!! and utterly humbled.
immense & intense
the appreciation!!

Who would've thought the answer to
eternal life would be found
at the tip, hidden in ink, and
encapsulated within the words
of a humble scribbler.
The shear number of life altering
poems which have flowed from
your pen, if indeed lengthened
your life, then you will live forever
dear poet and my proud to have friend.

Welcome
is the Friend Admired!!
Welcome
is the Artist adored!!
well, my friend's generosity and affection
knows no bounds
indeed.
Humble scribbler, yes
inker of eternal ink..ahem ahem...
as a TRUE friend, i would beg to differ and
happily agree to disagree! :-)
i get it,
my friends have cut all the nooses, and have dismantled
the gallows for now!
but i'll keep my quest alive
of the "one poem", hopefully
like the pot at the end of the rainbow... that indeed might help!
Friend yes...and if anything in my life
is to be proud of(humility being my thirst and endeavour) it's my Friends and their Friendship here! everything else...will dissipate with the tides of the time, as it should!!
appreciation
humbling, utterly humbling
beyond words!!
