I talked with a poet friend
On the phone today
Can't say I didn't find it all
More than a little strange
The conversation went quite naturally
No bleeps, burps, or dead air
Funny she should call me
Me being here, her being there
I understood her English accent
Her, me my Southern draw
We both got a good laugh in
Isn't that why she called after all
This is something I have dreamed of
By chance to one day meet
Some of the special friends
That I have made through poetry
So this day I will remember
In my diary, pencil it in
That poets have real voices
They don't all just talk with pens

I had Cheryl Love call me on Facebook today...it was such a pleasure and joy to speak with her!
