Hi everyone,
With thanks to JOY ACEY for providing YOU for January, here is the word of the month for February: US. I’m eager to see what you/we do with us.
We had some exceptional poems in January. I think we’re making a lot of good poetry and getting our exercises to work in our favor. Thanks everyone. Keep it up!

Finding Home
By Linda Boyden ©2015, 2023
If you have a true heart,
you know how to listen.
You understand the
negative space of silence,
how words linger
in our hearts,
how stories dwell
within our ears.
If you have a true heart,
you are a friend for life,
one who will listen or
smack you upside the head
when necessary.
If you have a true heart,
you catch the unspoken need
behind the words
and will be there
with him
beside her
hold a hand
jump a dead battery
let supper grow cold
pace lonely hospital halls
because you know,
you remember what
the elders taught you:
Friends cross distances
to help each other find home.
