A ๐ Word ๐ From ๐ You
๐Some๐ Words๐ For๐ An๐ Inspirational ๐Friend๐
Introduction
I have not written a poem for a friend for a while, but I have one close friend who inspires me just by talking with me. I cannot explain this and certainly do not analyze it. I love talking with her and afterward, so many ideas come flowing out of the ether.
Recently I have done a number of stories for the Vocal "Painted Prose" challenge, but it is time for a thank you villanelle for my wonderful friend.
I included "So Much Love" by Dusty Springfield because it came on my player when I started writing this and it is a beautiful song.

Lovely poem, Mike! Looks like you have an excellent friend. :-)
I'm so glad that there is a support system for you, my supportive and understanding friend.
How lucky you are - particularly if it helps with your creativity! ๐ Thanks for sharing your poem. I had a friend from the states call me this morning (it had been a while) and Iโm in Australia, but it made my day! โบ๏ธ
