 Star Children To write the beauty of the star spangled night Telling how the sight stirs and uplifts my heart In sonnet form write of their wondrous light How I sometime yearn to become of them a part Their light seems to vary and yet it stays the same It flickers in the air seemingly to flash in a code And as I gaze at it I wonder if they play a game Are the star children playing happily on their road? Flittering between places that I cannot hope to see I know it’s just my imagination and they don’t play They are illuminating the heavens’, as they should be But sometimes when I look they seem to almost sway And I pretend to myself that they are children still And my night with childish laughter they will fill Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Margie girl, thank you sweetie, so you like this one, I'm pleased. (But actually I'm more pleased with the graphic than anything else, because you know me and glitter) I do like those stars.  Thank you truly, as always if I'm made to work I can do it, but don't I moan. I'll try not to do that tooooo much Take care love Mushy Kari dear heart, I didn't find it as hard as I thought except that I kept wanting to switch the lines around. But yes love it was fun, well fun ish and I still say that I prefer the graphic. But thank you love, now do I get to put my feet up, first day back and all, there might be some work I really have to do. Take care love as always Majestic Marsha Sven dear heart, yes my very first one, and I'm glad it's done. Still at least it was on a subject that I love, at least I have a chance of it coming out. I do like the graphic though it was worth writing just so I could use that. Thank you very muchly love, but I do think you are just a little biased. Take care love as always Mushy Paula love, don't you dare give me another one. It's got to be put my feet up time love. Well at least cruise through work day. I don't want to have to stretch at all. Yes I know I am a lazy trout. Love to you dear heart Take care love as always Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Marsha, I'm so glad I wrote my version of the sonnet before I saw this otherwise you'd have had to mop up a thousand of my tears as I cried for this poetic perfection. As it is all I can say is IWIHWT. write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Kethry dear heart, now don't exaggerate, you know yours beats mine into a cocked hat. And this is just you trying to make me feel better about mine. Why do you think I put graphics on it, obviously so people would look at the graphics and not the sonnet love. I sat here with Will boyo opened at the sonnets and read several and then wrote it. But if I were you it wouldn't have needed the graphics would it. (I did learn something from working in the theatre, use smoke and magic as much as you can) shhhh and that's the theatre where they have plays, not the theatre in the hospital. Oh I don't know though it might work there too. Thank you sweetie Take care love as always Slushy Sven dear heart, yes love just a tad biased! And thank you for it Take care AD love as always Bubbles Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
