Amity Her ;) ... Leo's Letters

Amity has been the follower of my blogs for quite some time now but I’ve become her friend in blogsville only a month or so back. I haven’t written many guest posts in blogsville and was quite delighted when she asked me to write for her one year in blogging celebration. I’ve had some other work in between that has made this little guest post possible only at this last minute. So, in case it hasn’t turned out according to your expectations, Amity, please forgive me.

Amity’s blog is called Dreams Are My Reality and it is quite intriguing in itself. Since she herself says that her dreams are her reality, I’ll go directly to her reality and talk about her. Anyone reading her blog would know that she has a talent for a certain form of poetry called Acrostics. She keeps them short and sweet, puts some effort into them too. Her poetic talent however is like an ocean. It has an endless supply and capacity and she churns them out quite regularly (nowadays, it is lessened due to another addiction of hers). She is one of the sweetest friends I have. She has a nice online voice, very kind understanding and helpful (esp. with farming advice). I’ve challenged her to write a thousand acrostics and she has accepted it with delight.

This Filipino woman is one of my few international blog friends too. She speaks to me about her country at times and has told me of some Filipino art like Vigan pottery. A passionate friend, caring mother and enthusiastic worker she is. She chooses photos for her works with care, and each word she writes adds beauty to that photograph. I’ve had the pleasure of assisting her with the template too when my Preeti di was busy to come online and fix it for her. As Maddy said in the first guest post, she came in to blogsville and stole many hearts, and won some deserved awards and badges with her poetry. Anyone wanting to read her non poetic works please do read her novelette under “fiction” label. It is a very good story series that she has written so far.

A friend so true
I found in you
You maybe far
But you are a star

Your every word
Delight to read
You help me too
When I’m in need

Acrostic ace
One of very few
Taking to forms
Be it old or new

Honest in heart
You make us smile
Be like that
All the while

Thanks for giving me this chance to write for your wonderful blog Amity.

Your fan,
