The Prodigal Poet

A warm welcome back to the Jungle of DU
A sincere and humble thanks to every one of you
Duncan and Levi were among the first two
then my lovely Brandy, “Baby, I love you”

Starlight and Heslopian were very influential
The rest of you sent messages that were all essential
I often missed you all whilst I was away
yet some of us grew closer in many other ways

Maybe I should stop the rhymes
so I don’t give Cruel a heart attack
Hell, he won’t read me anyway
but it’s still pleasant to be back

I haven’t heard a story why I left
that contained an ounce of fact
but I’ve heard a few of them
which are completely whacked

One had me back in rehab
Another had me on the streets
One had me licking wounds
from a war of words defeat

Many changes in my life
can sometimes be confusing
and here in my poetic home
is where I’ll share such musings


Author's Note: This poem may come off as somewhat arrogant but that was hardly the intention. I'm truly grateful for all of you who asked me to return and quite frankly I was surprised at how many of you there were. Every time I received a facebook message or phone call from each of you it wore me down a little more and it was a week or so ago that I decided I'd return. Just had to handle that personal affair first. :)
