My Friend Allets
My dearest friends on postporg,
It's been a pretty long time since I began writing on pp. Before joining pp I never knew what poetry was. After joining pp I read and lost my shyness with words. I befriended many many ladies, gentlemen, et al who prodded me along.
One gentle man taught me to be humorous while another taught me to be a mite pragmatic. The latter loved my Popeye avatar to which I did justice for a great many years. I gradually began to think and write outside the beaten path.
Oh oh!! I'm sorry... this isn't a autobiography. In my mind I was thinking of writing an obituary for my poets island friend. I badly miss you. But such is life. Everything and everyone must die one day.
I hope your family members gave you a tearful farewell. This is MY farewell and goodbye. Rest in peace in the salt and sand
