Last week when I found this lovely garden alongside the information superhighway, I was moved to register and post a poem of my own. I mentioned that I'm not a poet mainly because I'm insecure in general, not just about poetry. (And who wouldn't be a little insecure about their own poetry after reading through Rod's back postings) But I also mentioned that I'm not a poet because I feel a little guilty about my poetry. On those occasions when I write, it is not out of any all-consuming need to write poetry, but simply a means to an end. So the end to this means is an introduction of myself. I hope that you read it with the poetic license with which it was written. A poetic license which was suspended for a good six months over the whole dashing/charming thing, by the way. I'm dashing and charming and love the sunrise, I talk with my hands but I speak with my eyes. I'm shy but I'm silly, I'm smart and I'm kind, I think with my heart, not so much with my mind. I want someone to hug and hold close by my side, I want someone to talk to, in whom to confide. I'm middle-aged now and I'm starting to soften, I exercise daily but eat out quite often. I like burgers and mexican, homestyle is good, I'd eat pizza buffets all I can if I could. I've played tennis for years, my new passion is dance, If I have one true love, I would call her romance. |

Quest - Welcome to the land of insomniacs. I liked your 'application'. Interviews held nightly at Passions. This line intrigued me: 'I talk with my hands but I speak with my eyes.' Nicely done. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Quest - this is a lovely poem! Honestly you have no need to feel insecure when you can produce work like this! By the way - thank you for the compliment, I am flattered, but, even at my best, I hardly qualify as an average poet! |
