My gracious friend
and a true third ear
wisdom's tooth
a heart in bloom
and sometimes a heart in doom
metaphor is a glove
that can hide his scars
ripped off in a moment
with humour and laughs
reflection a talent
through thick and through thin
a wonderful poet
A darker mind is Melvin.

A most wonderful tribute to another great poet. Fun to read and a surprise ending as well.
Long ago this wonderful poet told me to write from my heart, and I wouldn't have my raven collection if he hadn't, sometimes in life isn't it a lovely gesture just to say thank you. As I also say thank you to you dearest sorrenbarret ๐น
A most beautiful gesture. I too appreciate his poetry
well Teddy, am not ashamed to say this wonderful write has put many tears in my eyes.
and words fail me right now.
you are blessed with a talent to write...
and blessed with a true heart of gold.
Thank You Teddy.
Ah Melvin it takes one to know one, I wouldn't even be here on this site if it wasn't for your genuine guidance and kindness, so today I give something small back to you in comparison of what you have given to me dear friend. Every time I write a poem even when it's terrible, I write it from my heart because one day a gentleman noticed and I took advice because the kindest thing we can give as people is genuine encouragement to always do our best. I know this summer has once again been hard for you, but your tears today are filled with pride. As I always will remember if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't sometimes push my own limits, and that has always been something that has healed me. โค๏ธ Ps, I also know how modest you are so I am so very humbled you have taken it as a giant piece of gratitude. ๐น
Dear Teddy. You have such a generous heart. A fine tribute to Melvin and all the help he has given with your writing. From the heart is so important when conveying words. I can see already this has knocked his socks off and made his day. I also have to say Teddy, that unknowingly you pointed me towards Melvinโs unique writing. So a big thank you to you and your mentor. Have a super day. ๐น

I don't know Melvin, and have not read his poetry before, but with so much praise of a poet how can I not? Your poem for him shows your gratitude and appreciation for his craft. Beautifully penned Teddy. ๐น
And your words show so much kindness, thank you dear A.P he has certainly had a lot to do with my love of poetry and the fact I have more than just a few poems in a personal book that i actually love. Thank you dear friend. ๐น His very simple words spoke (write from the heart) and I always try my best. ๐น ๐ค
The results of your efforts is very obvious Teddy. You ARE most certainly a POET. ๐๐๐น
Wonderful words and tribute Teddy.
Andy
Thank you dear Andy. ๐น
