Hour 1, Prompt 1
Write a poem about a famous woman or an influential woman you know personally.
***
Our friendship began with a tight embrace;
on arrival her arms enveloped me.
She held on so tight I could not break free;
yet her hold was as gentle as her grace.
Now within my life, I cannot replace
nor ever will I choose to disagree
with her wisdom which comes from celery
or the light which shines brightly from her face
I know her now; as well as she knows me;
the distance between us irrelevant.
Our time spent together will bring us glee,
sharing our stories without arrogance.
We are separated by more than space;
but the love we share will never displace.

Oh Darren, this is so beautiful! I love you!
I’ll admit Holly I did rather hope you’d like it. 😊
I’ll pop the link to your book underneath it. Sorry for forgetting it when I posted it originally. Dx
