Although it is 2010 and not the 60's-- <br />You have definately caught my eye... <br />Took me back to the: Crystals from Brooklyn-- <br />And songs of happy days gone by; <br /> <br />Seems i am reading you... <br />And-wow-you sometimes read me...! <br />The latter is a great compliment--- <br />Of the highest degree! ; <br /> <br />It seems that whatever your subject matter... <br />I almost always totally agree... <br />Given that we grew up in the same era... <br />This fact does not surprise me; <br /> <br />This week you wrote of an end of an Era In Publishing... <br />I read you-reread you and know that it is no doubt true-- <br />Sadly, i put my hands to my keyboard (in vain?) <br />Typing up a manuscript that is long overdo; <br /> <br />Now i am keeping my fingers crossed-oh most esteemed... <br />That i might just sneak in under the final line... <br />Much like you in the OLD ERA of New York... <br />And get myself published-perhaps just in time! ; <br /> <br />Dedicated to the book: '77 Love Sonnets' <br />Publisher: Common Good Books <br />And its most esteemed author. <br /> <br />May 28,2010<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/esteem/
