And You They will never know… how could They? Those who will never know that chutzpah ~ Within ~ those who will never understand the draw of blank sheets, begging quills ~ or sounds scratching life… Oh, they had their ways, once, to live! But time passed by, hollow, with byes! waving them away. They wrestle with facts indistinguishable, harboring ill thoughts that would tear another away from key desires, if they could. But, they will never know… a pull of tomorrow wrapped with yesterdays shadows as histories of facts design, shaping our coming in to the unknowns… Yes, there will be some who will say… “you devise choices…” but do we? Are we all so cognizant of facts crystallized before us that we can say pawn to King, check… Mate. I am mated to this world, literary and beyond, literally… no giving this up! No, I shall search roads to continue expansions of whole, yes, a place I should and will escape to, today, and yes, long ago… so this thank you comes, to you, and you, and especially… you… for were I to name all poets…and naysayers who have lifted me in ways so wondrous… keeping me on enlightened paths, no, you would never realize just how blessed I am. Yes. If you read this it was for you. And you. And… Yes. |

"Are we all so cognizant of facts crystallized before us that we can say pawn to King, check… Mate." I really loved those lines... Well done! "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

This reminds me of the beginning of Lamb Chop's Play-Along. But only slightly---I thought I'd mention that since nobody else had. Seems you've covered all the bases with a vague and indirect tribute. This poem ought to make you pretty popular!  I hope you know we feel the same way about you. We numerous pawns & bishops & rooks that are being nudged about through literary history, wouldn't be quite where we are without a place like this, a community of like-minded individuals who are after the same thing we are--- It's lovely to acknowledge your devoted people like this, mum... thank you for pointing me in its direction (though I'd have read it sooner or later, with a tacky title like this )Take care Brian |

"chutzpah" -- wow, thanks! Sometimes, I think writing its more like therapy! Karilea -- you don't know the depth of meaning this holds for me being that I have been criticized all my adult life for spending too much time on endeavors such as this. My first husband called it "dumb B.S." -- needless to say, I ended up writing a poem called, "When SomeOne Tells Me B.S. Is Dumb." (The B.S. was, of course, spelled out -- I'm being polite here). hugs time double to you! ........jo |

And You ... You are beautiful! Your pen caresses the sheets and they play so beautifully to your touch to your inspiration. And You ... You are beautiful! Thank you, dear Karilea, this touches the hearts. Love, Margherita |

Yes, my fair lady....we all accept such tribute...though at times we feel the gift of your eloquence is not deserved nearly as much as you may write... |
