I enjoyed the 'feel' of your poem, Laura. Your word flow well with good imagery and a great little story. Writers, usually, can write most anywhere. To meet like you state would be great. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully with Love and Admiration, Jan

Thanks so much for stopping by and reviewing my poem and your comments show you actually understood my words. xo
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
The words in this poem speak about friendship. Friendship is always a good thing and a comfort for one another. You say you live in Canada. Quebec is such a exquisite spot, probably we can have coffee in the dream cafe there.

Comment from Aaqib Naeem
A beautiful poem. Full of meaning and assurance that even though the rest of the world might not recognise us, we the precious few, can be there for each other and truly appreciate the work for what it is.

Thank you for your review and thoughtful comments.
Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Author a lovely thought, Did you intend to have your lines skip regular spacing? It did distract me terribly from your ideas as they were presented one by one. I do not know if other reviewers had the same problem, or just ignored that feature of your entry, or thought it cute!

I changed it a bit after reading this, but I do tend to write like I think. Thank you for your considerate review.

Dear Laurel, mayhaps you are blessed with a leaping mind. many of your generation have them too. Just try to remember that most of the readers and reviewers on FanStory are in their 80s like me.

Thanks for the cyber greeting to an unknown but kindred soul. Yes! Let's meet over an espresso. Let's do like the old Beats did in coffee houses and writer's bars and have Bongo drums playing in the background. Sounds good for an auspicious special day.

Comment from Gloria ....
What a terrific idea for this contest, Laura. It would be nice if there was a dream cafe that showed up once every four years.
Beautiful job with this and many thanks for joining the contest. I wish you much luck in the voting booth. :))

Comment from Therese Caron
This is a wonderful leap year poem. You've taken a very simple topic and turned it into a complex yet understandable poem. Sometimes I realize how different I am when I ask people if they think in words or pictures. The majority answers pictures. I think completely in words and they run in front of my face like a ticker tape while I'm talking or listening to someone else. I think that is why bad grammar totally throws me. That is why I like the line words come faster than you can pen. Writers float.I think you have a terrific contest entry here. This is a wonderful poem. Best of luck! Terry C.

Comment from June Sargent
Anything is possible in a leap year! A cafe sounds like just the place to meet and exchange ideas and creative inspiration. Wordsmiths unite! Very clever piece!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the twenty-twenty leap year an extra day for us to be creative and play with words that become a work of art for many while others will struggle to put something sensible together.
