I Hear I hear the howling of the wind A fouling never to exscind It whispers in the soul of me That lives in serendipity I see the sky and greenery The lovely, lovely scenery It drops a salve within my eye But does not stop the tears I cry I feel the rain upon my skin Rising welts upon it’s thin Washing down the dust of grime But does not stop the passing time I smell the odors decompose The odor started like a rose It lifted me to heavens goal And handed me my pass of soul But still I cannot understand The rhythm of the marching band |

Hehe, the last line made me chuckle a little. I love the meter in this, so it makes it hard to believe that you wouldnt' get the rhythym in music But this was so lovely.. the beauty of life and nature, and yet the fleetingness (is that a word? :P) of it. Very good! Love's a lovely lad His bringing up is beauty Who loves him not is mad For I must pay him duty -Anonymous |

The Salvation Army If this is it Does terrific work Chubb I believe sponsors "all is gone and you had better believe it, because we will be back here next week" merchants who weakly and weekly test your "doorlocks" I like the words, maybe a bit harsh Bodger |

Sy There are so many oposing emotions and feelings in this. I like that in a poem...but this: "But still I cannot understand The rhythm of the marching band", just isn't true. You understand rhythm like no other! |

LoveBug Thank you for the read and reply Bodger It's really a subjective thing, thank you. Martie, Not as much as I'd like to. |

Well Sy, seeing that Martie is a woman I'm going to side with her. Besides she's right even though you're write. How I do enjoy the flow of your pen and your mind. Peace. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
