My hunger for perfect meter; long gone,
It has slipped mercilessly into the dawn.
Poetry at times has become my all,
It wrapped itself around me like a shawl.
Along with novels, which come now and then,
I feel I have ploddingly found my Zen.
Still there's a sullen feeling from within,
There's something lying in wait to begin.
I can't pinpoint what manner it will take,
For all I know my mental thoughts are fake.
Until the right time comes and I will know,
I'll write my poems; my novels; try to grow.

WORD TO HUSBANDS . . .
To keep your marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong, admit it;
Whenever you're right, shut up

Try to grow, Ms. E, is something everyone should strive for. We all don't however, some of us become stagnated. I need to find my way out of that stagnation. Thank you for you comment . . .

Nothing worth doing is ever easy, and growing can be such a struggle. You have fight in you, that's a good thing.

We have to keep going, Nicole, and not let ourselves become like everyone else. Sometimes we need to step forward a little out of line with the rest of the crowd. Thank you for being here.

Jerry, if you click on "Todays Topics" [upper left hand corner] you will see across the board on the various forums in action. I think you might find something you would appreciate. Stuff from archives pop up now and then...it's a great way to see who visits the archives.

Oh yeah...your very own poem is why I mention this.

Thank you, Baby Girl.

I begin writing my poetry using style and rhyme and I guess I am pretty much in its way every so often, You caught me at a disadvantage. Thank you for showing up.
