How can you like someone?
Someone
You've never even
Met.

How can you be fond of a person?
A person
Who you've never even
Seen.

How can you chat with anybody?
Anybody
Whose voice you've never
Heard.

How can you feel for an individual?
An individual
You have never, ever
Touched.

Can you fall for a photograph?
A few words on a screen?
A distant
Dream?

How can you write a poem?

A poem
For a friend
I've only just
Never met.

I have been guilty of all and far far more. I wish I had read your poem first. I would have ignored it of course, as self delusion is a powerful force. I don't know the answers to any of the questions except to say that some people most certainly can.

Made me think, Chum.
cheers
Jerry

Jerry: Thanks, boss!

Prince: I'm flattered that you found it so.

Mary: Nor do I........

I feel like your poem reflects the relationship you have with fellow lit-netters. It is nice to know you too

Thanks, Hill. Eloquent! Well, I've been called a few things in the past, but never that! Thank you.

lol Delta. I am getting into the habit of letting the trilogy members comment first so that I know what the hell it is I am commenting on. I can write a bit, but my skills of decyphering are as keen as a blind man reading the astrology column.
p.s dafyyy senile delinquent ?

Isn't it a kind of questions one asks but does not expect any answers from? Well done, Writer.
Best - Bar
