It's there on tongue tip where bitter is tasted and words are formed taunting me to swallow or sing. I've savored before the notes of dirge and heard the throat as it was ingested into forever sound Maddening those thoughts not found in remember become food for explain of the words I love you There on tip of tongue |

Ah the tongue, that springboard which dares we dive to life's pool or back down the ladder to ignominy. Here's hoping your courageous leap finds the water fine. |

So spit it out! LOL I like this very much, Cpat... and could literally taste the difficulty of repeating words that have left bitter dregs in your cup before. *S* Excellent write! *S* By the way... I first read your title as entomology... which led to a major doubletake! LOL |

Self-prescribed, I'm sure. And we must ask... is there a time when the immune system just says no more medicine? Something to ponder...but then you always write of something to ponder... |

If the words are there...on tip of tongue.. I say, better to sing than to swallow. ..well, most of the time anyway..if they aren't hurtful. Good thoughts to ponder this ayem. ~Hugs~ ~ Season's Greetings to my 'family' at Passions ~ |

Of the words, I love you, they... should ~never~ have a bitter taste. Sometimes ancient history is best if left at that. (of course maybe I am reading this incorrectly, deciphering your poetry ~is~ sometimes like trying to read Greek, which isn't my second language!) Warmest regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. "Desiderata" [This message has been edited by regards2you (12-19-2002 02:43 PM).] |

 (big hugggssssssss) Yes, sing it all out, for we are all here fot you and that is the beauty of poetry, freedom of expression, the release of the beauty, the anguish, or the questions we may ponder yet! (sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

(a) swallow--(b) spit it out--(c) choke....I always hated multiple choice..hehe--I, too, very much enjoyed your take on those 3 lil words we find so difficult to say! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |

Ron Words are sometimes more than words. They are large, or frightening, and could change the course of a river. Enjoyed this, as always, my friend. |

Those words never have a bitter taste when spoken....but the after-taste can kill ya!  Excellent writing, Ron. I admire the way you make every words count...  |

I love how your purposely fumble and stutter, and yet are still unable to ask the power and impact of the final words. Always a treat to read you, Ron. Mikey |
