The Ladies Of Passions

They are the ladies of Passion's poetry
Always penning wonders for us to see
They share sorrow in their loss of love
Bring us rainbows from the stars above

Within their words they reveal their souls
Teach us how to reach our hidden goals
They bring a smile to the face of dispair
Always there to listen with hearts of care

The replies of support are second to none
Brightening the day with warmth of sun
Friendships abound in the pages of blue
They give their hearts without much adieu

I cherish them all each and every one
They make sharing poetry so much fun
I thank the ladies of Passions once more
As I tip my hat to the poets I most adore

Mark my friend, this is a beauty, a really fabulous and enchanting write from you. As is always the case your poems are 'pas excellance'. (Sorry the french accent is slipping in again, I'll restrain my self). I'm trying the less is more theory, and on that note I'll just say.
A truly magnificent poem from you.
Take care

Thank you Mark for sharing your works of gold with us. Thank you for reminding me of special times and special places in my heart. Thank you for making me shed a tear now and again.

Mark,
I missed this before and I can't imagine why! cause there's so little to respond to here in the open pages let alone the rest.*laughs*
But I'm so glad I didn't miss it altogether. 'Swonderful and not just because it praises the women but also because it espresses heartfelt emotion. Loved it.

Kethry-LOL........not too much to read huh??????????  Yeah, ain't that (not) the truth.  It is getting harder and harder to keep up but I must admit, there is some wonderful poetry flowing through here.  Thank you much my friend.  

Sandra-It is I who thank you and all the ladies here at Passions because all of you make this place so wonderful. Can you imagine if it were just the guys?  Thank you again and again and again my friend.

Alwye-Once again I thank you for all that you bring to us here and for stopping by.

Balladeer-Yes they do deserve it and I do mean it sincerely.  Thank you my friend and I know that you cherish them as much as I do and that makes this cowboy smile too.

Koko-No we aren't so bad as long as we remember our manners.  They are all worth this and much more praise and I know it won't be long before you find that out if you haven't already. Thank you kindly.
