Tie a string around the thought and anchor it to the door Close it, slam it, pull it, I implore. My fingers have applied themselves to keyboards of two types, Yet, stirrings remain, and empty is their plight; Grinding scales repeat themselves; Evasive, the expressive sound. Something in there, a nerve the thought has found. Pull this recessed tooth, as it declines its leave, That a tooth fairy can exchange it for a goal and dream.

Larry, Do you think she'll/he'll give me a penny for my thoughts? Sure hope the fairy will compensate me for inflation! Enjoyed hearing from you again. I hope all is well. misce' |

So now you'll give up your goal and dream for a penny!  What happened did you lose faith in your 'tooth' fairy? Yes all is exceptionally well. Especially if we don't have to talk about the cardiologist! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

Larry, Would I give them up for a penny? Well, first I'd have to find them! No, not for a cent. I miss whatever it is that I miss! I'm glad to hear you are exceptionally well. As for the cardiologist, I won't speak of him for he must already know that you are a man of true heart and one of the best! hugs, misce |

I ain't a tied person, although learning abit about it, but tooth to doorknob sounds painful. Thats why the have novocain. The other pains you can tie to need stronger stuff. |

Something in there, a nerve the thought has found. ~*~ My friend, who sat at my piano and played a lovely tune... I sat in your spot the other day, and heard something coming from my fingertips through the keyboard and the accompanying strings... something I did not know I had in me, and no wrong note in the bunch... but it fluttered only briefly, awaiting another dream.  |

This was a nice read Miscellanea. Wonderful imagery in this one. I actually have to play the tooth fairy tonight. I'll put a dollar under your pillow too. Garfield |

Enjoyed the read, misce! Yep - I'd also pull a tooth in exchange for a goal and dream if only, if only, the tooth fairy was real.  |

Just wanted to thank Everyone for your kind responses. Usually, I'm a pretty upbeat person, but somehow I've gotten offbeat lately. I'll turn it around soon. Thanks for taking time to say hi. misce' |

Well, well, well, misce! I happen to know a fairy or two in my heavenly line of work! I can ask one of them to fly your way and all your dreams will come true ~ and you won't even have to part with a tooth!  Enjoyed your poem. You are innovatively creative in your poetic expressions! Loving hug, EA [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (08-26-2007 12:11 PM).] |

Very captivating imagery, dear misc! Sometimes so much depends on whether or not we are able to "tie a string around the thought". To recede quickly can be of highest importance! Reaching out with a big hug. Love, Margherita  |
