If I remember right this is the first poem that I attempted in 8 syallable poem back in 2000. I truly admire poets who can do this post after post. I know my hair thinned when I was done writing. . . . Though petals falls from springtime rose and eyes grow dim as vision goes though hair grows thin and limbs grow weak I still adore to kiss your cheek My heart beats strong and brims with fire I look at you and know desire We'll celebrate our Christmas day and share the joy in our own way. So when Santa's sleigh is close above I'll wish for your continued love for that is all I need to see this year beneath the christmas tree And as the year draws to its end I'll hold you close my dearest friend and in a manner most sincere I'll thank you for the passing year for as the year begins anew I'll give my heart again to you Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. " Leon Cohen~ |

You are too good to be true? Great work as always. You are one of the best poets I've seen ever any time any place.All the bad poets will wish they could compose as you. |
