You speak in codes I don’t understand send signals that confuse me, still I want to play with you for you have the words I need the structure to complete me. Without you I am a participle dangling, a doppelganger waiting to echo your sigh, and a word out of time. I am rounded by your consonants and programmed to your DNA in coloured purple prose that flutters my tail feathers and leaves me thinking like an ass. Chaos reigns when you are near I am overwhelmed by your diction but could I have a vow please? a good commitee can decimate communication. |

Kethry~ A 'doppelganger' huh ? Sent me scurrying to the dictionary for that one ... but oh, how it fits this piece~  I just plain, downright like the ALL of it~ Good to see you sweetie ... I miss you~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ Email - noles1@totcon.com |

I just sent this along to Nan and Ron, as they are great scrabble lovers, and darn good too, just like this poem. |

I'm a Scrabble addict so I was immediately drawn in by the title! ~ and also because its been ages since I have had the pleasure of reading your always engaging poetry! May you be provided with all the consonants and vowels that you might need in the game of life!  Giving you a big ole hug-o-love, Linda |

Keth, "that flutters my tail feathers and leaves me thinking like an ass."  And that's a good place for tail feathers! Yes mam the scrabble drew me in and your writing kept me here.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

A vow please. Yep. That would be nice to have. (Come to think, I had one once. Can't think what happened to it.) I love the way you play with your words. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Not only is this a great poem... it reminds me what a wonderful person you are and how much I miss your smile and wit. *S* But remind me not to play word games with you... please! LOL And I know that picture! *G* Excellent work, my friend... brilliant ending! |
