Telephone
Lines
This
is a colaborative piece written by a wonderful woman that I met on the
Internet and came to love and very much appreciate for her natural poetic
talent. She wrote the first and third lines of each verse and I responded
with the second and fourth lines. Since the poem is about our phone
calls to each other, giving it a title was easy, albeit clever. Enjoy! |

in the direction of a dear friend who has been my closest friend through
some of the worst moments of my life. It is she who reminds me that
the best love is yet to come and one should never give up hoping or dreaming.
She is my best buddy. |
