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.
Editing stage:

I do sketchs of pretties on napkins
and leave them at an upscale coffee house
I wanted to print my poems and tack them
on telephone poles no name just
pages for thoughts pocket poems
absolutely bang on!!

a great idea Elf!

I loathe poetry especially about poets. ;-)

Thank you both for being here in my lifetime.

I also appreciate Esker's poems. He is one of a kind.

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.

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

personal abuse is against the guidelines

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.

I wrote a poem about you... back when you wer on probation on the old neo. I lamented the loss of you. If I come accross it, I shall p.m. it to you.
