I saw you there,
and you were magnificent.
Tall like the sky and lean like summer
seventeen shades of blue,
eighteen shades of a loving hue.

I'm not a godly man,
but I prayed to what might be
that I find something like that-
something like you.
Tall like the sky and lean like summer
seventeen shades of blue,
eighteen shades of a loving hue.

I saw avatar yesterday, and here's my official plug:

Avatar is the greatest movie of all time. You're robbing yourself of something truly great if you don't see it. I have never liked a movie as much as I loved this one. Absolutely hands down the most amazing film I've ever seen. GO SEE IT.



Fall in love early, fall in love often.

Very inspiring poem, dear Paul.

I read the presentation of Avatar and saw a few scenes and I am intrigued, yes I will go watch it and I have no doubt that I will like it too.

Love,
Margherita

You'll love it I'm sure. It's my favorite movie now. I've seen it twice in the three days it's been out, seeing it again tomorrow night. haha.

Hey Paul!  Happy New Year  -  hope that you survived the celebration!  I like the poem lots - and I don't go to movies much so probably won't go see Avatar.  But, did I mention that I like the poem lots?

I always wished I had the crayons with every shade of blue when I was young.  You put a new spin on that one!  I may have blushed 18 shades of pink, though.       Enchanting lines, "long and lean, every young man's dream; she turned every head in town!" (?)

I really enjoyed this one, too.

Inspiration can come from the most unlikely places.  I liked this poem of yours.
