Been on this forum just a short time Found amazing talent from all kinds Makes me wanna dub this creative flow As the greatest ever, if you don’t know Thus my admiration has been sparked To write mad verses with a flaming mark You are the ingredients of this unique brew That I’m now calling the “Quintessence” crew So here’s to the “Q,” your words have weight More than silver and gold, ’cause you’re my mates Here’s to the eyez of earth’s celestial Angel X-raying minds to diagnose and become less tangled Here’s to the fury of the beast, a.k.a. Animal Ripping at the life we sometimes take for granted Here’s to the western gunslinger, holla Pug Blasting us with the creativity from them slugs Here’s to the sweetness of sista Sara Walking the mule as a humane barer Here’s to the Feminine heart of a special Poet Grounding us to reality, a toast from a glass of Moet Here’s to the petals from the Y2K1 budding Rose Missing the nectar to feed the bees and in those… Here’s to the shiny armor of gleaming love, the Arhanghell Giving us adventurous tales, ready to drop more coins in that well Here’s to the food from the Miller they call Keith Dropping them verses like tender, tantalizing beef Here’s to the endeavors of the newbie, a Creator of Love Soaring the clouds fiercely with the freshness of a dove Other members of the “Q” are still missing in action Hope you come back to be part of this elite faction So this dedication will continue to be unfinished Not whole, but waiting to be no longer diminished…
Dedicated to my fellow poets on an amazing poetry forum sometime ago....
