Okay love, I can't say it's perfect, because I'm not certain about the length. But I've gone for brevity. < !signature-->To Touch A Star To Touch a star is my hopeful desire Desire to feel the heat, touch the fire Fire the imagination illume my night Night of secret dreams that feel right Right or wrong who made these rules Rules of love that echo in hearts halls Halls of pain which leave me so alone Alone without comfort of even the phone Phone me up and speak to me again Again and again I beseech my souls rain Rain that brings my eyes back to the stars Stars which hear of my need for you You can mend my heart if you want too Marsha Kari love I was going to cheat and offer you this one but it's not really fair. Stars shine Shine stars But it was delightfully brief  (I'm sorry I missed out a line and a half, I used to be brighter you know honestly )Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 01-11-2001).] |

Circe love, Kari likes me to work occassionally, (Mutter, mutter,) She says it's good for my soul. Okay I agree it is, but...... you know me love, if I can cruise it I will. Which is why she cracks the whip. (Kari love don't beat me over the head with your beams I'll be good.) Actually love, it was fun, if you want to try it, I'm sure you would make an excellant job. It's the last word of the line becomes the first word of the next line, until the end when the last word is the same as the very first word. To check out how it should go read 'Visions' by Sunshine. Take care kid have fun Mushy Kari love, okay I missed a line and a half out but otherwise it's not bad as a first attempt love and it was supposed to rhyme wasn't it. There you little angel, now that's two, I shall have to lie down for at least an hour to recover from the shock of it. Take care love Me I can't manage my usual MM I'm tired it's work I'm not used to it Poeminister thank you very much, didn't take me any time at all, so easy I could do it falling off a log. (Actually it isn't and I couldn't, but I don't want everyone to know. )Take care Mushy Inot2B love, thank you so very much, I haven't got the strength to grab the star but I'll send Kari up later. (Mutter mutter, it's time she did something you know. She's got nothing better to do than tease me )You do know I'm joking I hope. She's my sister of choice, as opposed to natural. Take care Mushy |

So nice to see you dedicated to growing in your poetry. I can see that the lessons are paying off. You already have a talent and I can't wait to see just how far you stretch it. Wonderful write from you my friend. |

Kethry love, she had me working..... can you conceive of it, I actually had to work!!! Good grief!, and two of them, love, two.. it passes the bounds of common humanity. Yes love, do it, I will admit it I had fun, which is why we're here anyway. Thank you love, for the kiss and the sisterly support. (But oh kid what a way to grow love) And for the compliment..... if you loved me that much, you'd tell me that you will do all my challenges for me. I told you I was terminally lazy And don't tell me it's good for my soul, my soul was fine doing nothing very much..Take care love Slushy Mark my friend, Kari is on a mission to make me shake my tail feathers. Actually I think she wants me to work because she a little devil and she like to see me bent over with labours of love. I thank you very much, I shall now put my feet up for the rest of the year, because I've done more than my share of it. You know of course that this is all nonsense and I love her as my sister of choice. Now if you fancy doing this I'm sure it will cast this into the shade. But it was fun.... (but ssshhhhhh don't tell Kari I said so!)

Marsha~ 'Shaking your tail feathers' are you ? You do a pretty darned good job of it. It remains to be seen what you can do when pushed. Pushed to the edge of the stars would have me shaking. Good show, girlie ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Tracie love, she likes me to work love. You should see what's she had me doing today. I've been working my as....... siduously off. And all she offers me is a little beam.... bit of a swizz don't you think!! I would think she could run me off a quick stanza or two. I thank you, give it a go kid, it's ssshhhhhh f... u.... n... honestly Take care Mushy Margie girl, now don't you start, can't I swing on a star for a while. Kari would say I deserve a break. (Well, she will if she has any sense or I shall give her the bar bill Kari ? Be good you ....)Thank you love take care Mushy Kari love, and what a good job that modiste made of my new plumage don't you think love. And I have a valid excuse, no not that, it's my B'day next week, I get the week off. Don't I?
