If I Were a Poem If I could be a verse of poetry I’d be a sonnet of a summer bloom So fragrant, not of hearty potpourri But of a scent that lovers would consume Of all the fragrant blossoms summer yields My verses would not sing of lupin blues Nor lavender nor jasmine in the fields Nor would it be a rose that I would choose Soft yellow primrose. perfume sweet and fine Would not entice a lover with such grace As blooms with luscious nectar on the vine That hummingbirds come closely to embrace I’d end with one small couplet filled with bliss Sweet honeysuckle waiting for a kiss Elizabeth Santos |

Marge beat me again (sometimes I think her and I share one brain!), Elizabeth you are indeed a poem, so pure, that each word you pen sings (at least to me)...this was so beautiful it almost had music to it. I thank you silently every time I read one of your poems as they give me such pleasure. I save most for my Granddaugher to read when she is older, as she is only 3. You are indeed a poem, and I suppose yes, a lovely sonnet! ~*~ I write ~ Therefore I am ~*~ |

Loved this write, Elizabeth, especially the last lines. But you don't need to be a poem, or a honeysuckle... ~smooch~ (sorry if I pinched!) I should go do a sonnet . . . Krawdad |

You mean, you're not?? Dear lady, I would say that you are poetry personified. . .  excellent. . . as always. . . -------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

This is wonderful, Elizabeth. I'm certain that Hallmark or a rival would snatch it up. It's filled with powerful statements that touch the heart with tender beauty. |

I can only nod in agreement to what others have said... you ARE a poem, you are poetry, you are the grace and beauty of words at their finest, you are thought of immediately when I think of verse. *S* Of course, you're so much more... but we all strive to achieve your shadow. *S* Beautiful! |
