For Esker
What can I say of your poems?
I would like to own them,
hand-written on parchment with torn edges.
I would like to stick them on my walls
and keep some in my pocket
to give to strangers in the street.
Last few words:
I thoroughly disapprove of the incestuous practice of writing poems to each other here on Neopoet. Or even poems about poetry. So sue me, I couldn't resist this.

I really like this one.
I really like this one. simple, but with deep meaning to me. At times I read people's poetry and think for hour's about how they were feeling at the time.

hi Jess
I really like the way Esker makes me think but the resultant headaches from using my brain limit how many of them I can read lol. I think his stuff is a perfect example of poetry read by many but commented upon by few. And you better take care lest somebody write an Elf poem lol...........stan

not selecting any selections
I wrote a few elf poems when you were officially banned. Why? I tried to leave my footprint.
Where are they now ? They're somewhere but not here.
