in appreciation of his awakening in me the love of poetry.

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one.

From 'Imagine' by John Lennon

This arrived by e-mail recently
Dear Bob Ollier,

Tonight I chanced upon your poetry site
For poetry I love, to read and to write
I knew all the poems of poets long dead
I thought I would read Bob Ollier instead
The Last Grain of Sand was first that I clicked
As I read your words, my throat did constrict
When I got to the end, my face was wet
I was there, I was them.. but don't you fret
I rushed here to write you and tell you that
Your power with words just felled me down flat
I thank you for sharing your poem with me
In my heart it's kept, as my tears run free
Amazed how your pen could throw such a light
To touch my heart. Now I bid you goodnight.

Yours sincerely,

Setiawati Lubis

These kind of comments are always welcome. How about some more. (We might start a new book of rhyming e-mail)

Limericks Wanted

We need more Limericks! It doesn't matter whether you've written them or not, but if you have and don't want your name added, just use 'no name' as the subject.
