Virginia Salter Little banty on the stoop gazing at the chicken coop. Little red hen preening comb for her trip away from home. Startled is old banty, cold, “Why can I not be a bit more bold?” He sees her loaded into the truck, In his mind, exclaims, “What luck!” “There she goes away from me in the lolly toward the sea, what shall I do, what might I say, to bring her back no more to stray?” “Look, oh, look! from bump a rise, her cage does fly before my eyes! Out of sprung door my sweetheart flies.” I run, I run up to her side. We peck, we neck we cling by wing; inside of me, my heart’s a-ring! “Oh, Sweet One, no more shall I sit on the stoop so idly by.” © January 13, 2001 |

This is so cute! Made me smile. If you are comfortable with the idea, may we use this for the newsletter? |

Wow, Elizabeth, whatever for, it's just a silly love poem? Where does the newsletter go, or is it a cyber newsletter? I don't know if I'd want people that have not seen some of my other poetry to think this was a good sample. Vanity, oh where will you take me? ;o} I just like to choose the way I embarrass myself, so I'm not sure. |

Virginia, the newsletter is called Digital Passions and is a cyber newsletter. I'm not sure exactly how many people read it....Ron would know the exact number. It's quite a few though. The upcoming issue is going to be a special for Valentine's Day, and I just thought it would be nice to have a fun love poem besides all the other ones. If you don't want it included that's fine too! Just thought I'd ask.  |
