With You I've Grown

With You I've Grown

A Poem by Chris Shaw

If home is where the heart is,
then travelled well am I,
as part of me resides with you
beneath your own blue sky.
For all the verses we have shared,
the friendship you have shown,
I'm thankful for the chance to say,
you poets often make my day,
without you many shades of grey,
but with you how I've grown

Blue sky eh? Well it ain't me you're thanking then :)
Yeah, this place does have its plus side, if you remove the crazies (well, some of them), the trolls and the ads. And if the people who think its match dot com actually used match dot com, it'd be perfect. :)
But hey, nothings peefect. Not even me! (i know, shocker) :)

We seem to 'compliment' each other in some way. I share the same sentiments : Reading some of the most significant poems on here I too have grown. Thank you Writer's Cafe!

We need to read to become better writers. Last three months. I read Hemingway and Salinger. They taught me many lessons. Never trust a Publisher. We learn from each other. I liked your kind words and thought dear Chris. We do need people who love the word.
