Time has pleats.
While years may stretch them out.
They enfold when old friends
meet after years,
touching as if only
hours have passed.

Poetry is life’s sonnets
Sung in tunes of the beating heart
Through pleating words of wisdom
Into a lace of pearls
Every kind of poetry
May be romantic; idealistic; realistic
Thus;
Very nice.

Thank you.
