My apologies to all I may have overlooked....your name may not be here in print, but your creative spirit thrives in my consciousness.....

OUR MM FAMILY

Mosaic Musings is
a safe, cordial oasis,
where positive support
is our prime emphasis.

Daniel delights us
with forms obscure,
their content takes us
on a poetic tour.

Lori weaves a balance,
being honest and gentle,
compassionately creative;
oftentimes sentimental.

John from down under,
a wise and witty chap
writes of faraway places
we can’t find on a map.

Liz is graciously kind
in offering studied crits,
always even-tempered
never throws a fit.

Don’s a midwestern guy,
who loves the outdoors
from farmlands to the sea,
he has a zest to explore.

Cathy’s gentle nature
brightens our days,
her exuberant disposition
keeps gray skies at bay.

Dennis is a newbie
and a tiger by name,
sex, dialogue and religion
spirit his proverbial flame.

Snow writes lyrically
from across the pond;
it’s her flowered verses
that sweetens our bond.

Alan’s a judicious fellow
in this workshop community,
his satirical perspectives
offer a unique sense of unity.

Aggie may reside in Borneo,
but her heart lives here
with this literate group,
she is a much respected peer.

Oh’ Steve is one man
who’s never gloomy or sad
he’s been a loyal pal
during good times and bad.

Cyn’s natural sentiment
is a virtue to behold,
she freely shares it
with friends new and old.

Eric, alias Merlin pens
visions of clouds and snow,
their tranquil images
cast a comforting glow.

Sylvia from Argentina way
paints with bucolic words,
vibrant landscaped horizons
of rivers and colorful birds.

We are much richer today
for this infusion of good will
this friendly, warm refuge
leaves us all jubilantly fulfilled.
