Ode to my TF

[greatbarrier]

It was an ordinary saturday night. Sleep was at a distance despite the cold temperature. Rain was drifting through the window panes! After what seems like eternity of quietude, I just found myself scribbling some notes, not for anyone else but for TF....i ended up with these verses.

Hope you guys like it! This is my only way to show my gratitude to the admin, the mods and the members! This site has been really my sanctuary. I titled this "Ode to my TF" where TF stands for "true friend"....Timog Forum = True Friend

It was actually inspired by joyce kilmer's "a tree" which i came across when i was driving somewhere in the south...

"Ode to my TF"


I think that I have never sighted on
A website as cool as TIMOG FORUM

A place where everyone can hang around
Especially on moments when hearts are blues abound

A place packed with people from all walks of life
A place where one can find a friend for life

A place that cares for all its members all day
With the gang of admin & mods to lend a help without pay

Threads and posts can be made by fools like me
But mods are there to watch and see

So TF members, don't be like fools
When you're in doubt, never forget the TF Rules!

(P.S. To the mods, I opted to post it here coz this is how i want to give my honest feedback to TF....)

hmm...with that big grin....i got an impression that's more of a derision rather than a compliment... :rolleyes:

joke lang po...true or untrue, i appreciate the comment! :)

Nice touch greatbarrier.
Maybe adding a few notes will also do. Anyone? Rocks perhaps?

TF - a true friend who really cares, who can be silent with us in a moment of

despair, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and solitude, who can tolerate

not knowing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness.

a very nice ode greatbarrier, thanks for sharing.:)

[greatbarrier]

@Mod Stacie Fil, thanks for your comment! It's just an expression of sincerest appreciation from a bemused soul. :)

@dr._knockers, nice line you got! maybe we can translate that into another verse. :)

hello greatbarrier of Australia......:) .......nice poetry....one thing am sure of people like you that are very poetic, you always get mellow chords in your heart.....I for one, TF has been a great assistance to me, it ushered me to let time roll like years most especially after work when I got nothing to do or feeling down and low.

greatbarrier, every line of your poem just turn pages of each and every chapter that bounds Timog! nice one!

& i'm really thankful that someone nudged me to log-in at tf. i think it would be the first & last forum site which i'd join with.

& by the way, because of tf, i was nudged to be serious in my nihongo lesson.

yoroshiku! :)
