In awe of Natures' grandeur, mutely stand
eyes focused on the wonders which appear,
uniquely formed, as patterns in the sand,
awash, as waves retreat, words disappear.

As sunlight filters through the canopy
in columns raised through forests cloaked in mist,
does seems beyond ones' capability
to so describe these scenes as they exist.

To stare in rapt amazement of nights' sky,
quite lost in silent wonder of it all,
though be, almost, improper we should try
to break this spell when solemn moments call,

inadequately, finding words to say,
in view of things which take ones' breath away.

Sunshine,JL, Martie, Enchantress,Marge, muted,Susan, and iliana.
Thank you all so much, but, much like "Jello" I believe there's always room for improvement. With that in mind , I'll leave you with this. Thanks again,

   "Shakespear Meets The Sopranos"

By name, see, I am "Bic" Pentameter.
Youse guys should listen up, this thing I know.
Dat bum, da one called "Shakespear" as it were,
I taught to speak da language like a pro.

He says, "Hey Bic, how 'bout youse learn me that,
you know, that fancy thing youse do with words."
I says, " Yo, Will, take off that stupid hat
and gimme that there quill youse look absurd!"

"If youse would like to write like a "made" man,
ya gots ta watch your meter all da while!"
Da Bum, da bum, da bum, da bum, he ran
and took the credit for this certain style!

Da bum, if he was here, I'd have his head!
For I am "Bic" Pentameter, I said!
