Fromm the moment

I read the first thing

I read by the elven warrior,

I was struck by his commitment

to his craft and care for facts.

I knew he was a writer to watch.

I knew he was a writer to befriend.

I knew I could learn so much Fromm him.

~

Fromm his innate understanding of historical fiction

to his wildly creative fantastical mind,

he wields literary power.

Beyond the flames of dragons, quests,

and the finer points of the past.

some truly exceptional poetic works

come forth Fromm his digital and physical pen.

~

Fromm one procrastinator to another,

I quote the great and faithful Sam Gamgee:

"It's the job that's never started as takes longest to finish."

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: Further to my "Ego of Deeming" tribute to my Vocal/writer/friend chum, Rachel Deeming, another good friend, one Matthew Fromm suggested that as Rachel got one, him and Stephen (A. Roddewig) should get one too. So, that's what the above is - my little tribute to the Frommster.
