Elizabeth She draws her lines in mute compare, From here, from there, from everywhere. And weaves from them a melody, Of verse and rhyme in rhapsody. Circles jewels in worded orbits Starlet filled with garland couplets. Singing her song into the throng, And lays the notes where they belong. She strums the good, mellows the bad And turns your mind away from sad. Tranquilizing in her display, Waving magic in words bouquet. A heart that's lived enough to give. A soul, opened and positive. A breath of spring that whispers love, Belief in God, that waits above. She is to me my psyche view, The one that I'm in full pursue. |

Dear Sy, If I could write a verse like this My heart would be in constant bliss Your words and phrases far surpass Any penned by this fair lass But coming from your poet quill These words have garnished me with thrill And I would send poetic kiss If I could write a verse like this Thank you, dear poet I am honored Love ya Liz |

Oh, Seymour~ How lovely and how fitting for our ~fair Elizabeth~ How perfectly in tune your muses. Never have I seen two poets who compliment each other with the lovely verses as well as you two. I would buy a book of 'He said/she said' exchanges between you two. What inspiration you lend one another. Wonderful ... Just wonderful. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I was already overwhelmed by this poem, but your kind remarks were equally heartwarming. Thank you all very much Liz |

"Singing her song into the throng, And lays the notes where they belong." ...she certainly does, Seymour. Wonderful testimonial to a true poetic artisan. ~ Claire |

You did such nice poetic piece Of a lady we call Liz (long z) And so yo should for she is nice and sweet Your poem is so too, well done indeed The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Seymour~ and Fair Elizabeth~ Please, please consider 'teaming' up on a collaboration of back and forth poems. One plants the seed ... one waters it. I swear if I ever was right about something in my life ... I'm right about this. It is so apparent to me that the 'magic' exists in the responses you elicit from one another. I believe I called it 'Mirrored Muses'. Lizzie~ ... remember what I told you a long time ago about this ... (listen to me ... a 'long time ago' LOL !) well, it's been a few months anyway ! Now that I have the attention of BOTH of you, JUST DO IT ! Time waits on no one ! Today is now. Tomorrow is just another today gone ! Love you both. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
