Poem in Response

After reading “My Inspired Blog Back Story“, written by the very talented and lovely Arizonian poetess, Michele Lee Sefton – wherein she elaborates upon her decision to pursue writing, discusses challenges, hard work and successes – I was inspired to write this poem…

From an absence of light came a spark in the dark
   In a call from her dreams to connect with her heart
Inspiration brought joy with both truth and reward
   When she answered to make a creative fresh start

NOTE: this poem uses the Preformatted Block, which allows for indentation of text exactly as pasted. However, in so doing, a monospace font is used.

        My pleasure Phil. Yes, think about the jams of the 60s and 70s, and how they continue to use them in commercials, TV and movies. I was watching one of the FBI shows last night, and they busted out with a number by Teddy Pendergrass. You can’t beat our generation of music, especially when we can understand the words! LOL 🤩🎶🥰
