[stylist] A poem share

[Lynda Lambert]

I think this is a very beautiful work.
It reminds me of the oetry group I was once part of. We met monthy, read our 
work to each other, and celebrated our birthdays together. We always had 
lunch together, then our poetry conversations after that. There were four of 
us.

Two have passed away. One has Alzheimers. And, there is now only me. I miss 
them and I miss the good days we shared together with our poetry. We put a 
little chapbook together and I cherish it so much.
