Ink From Another's Pen ~Marge Tindal~ 1999 Sometimes my inkwell is full, with colors overflowing. I write of places I have been and of others I may be going. I write of loves I have known and hopefully, some yet to be. The words flow with abandonment to the page in front of me. Friends of my making seep to the nib of the pen, unlocking memories of just how true they've been. Love of a child writes it's own rhyme. I've been blessed to love many who've inspired me Once Upon A Time. There have been times I thought the ink was gone, I looked upon the page and found a well-sung song. Someone filled the inkwell, well within my reach. I'd like to wish a poet's wish for those who've shared the umbrella on my beach. Sometimes I see the words I've penned I am driven to think ... I may have written the words, but I used another's ink. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Ah, yes Ms. Lizzie, you want another round. In the quipping arena I can be found. In this corner weighing in with heart so large, we've got the quip of Marge-In-Charge. I'll take you on and when I do ... I'll make a quipper out of you. I've enjoyed our inspiration ... comes in all styles laced with imagination. Lizzie dear ... you write with sage, scribed with love upon each page. All the poets here at Passion's has inspired another in some fashion. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge, few people have provided me with as much inspiration as you, dear lady. With you around, my inkwell is always filled to capacity. It doesn't take an awful lot to make my flame rekindle, I only need to see the words of my dear friend, Marge Tindal! [This message has been edited by Balladeer (edited 12-18-1999).] |

Balladeer - You know I feel the same. Thanks for being you. A word a thought a phrase ... landing in another's inkwell, making the grandest splash. Maybe that's where Rorschach got his ink blots ! SeaAngel - Inspiration feeds us all. Thanks for liking this. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

How I can relate to that fact of feeling you've run dry, but never could've thought of such a lovely way to put it. Often I wondered if my once very hectic schedule was my inspiration for all that rhymed through my brain when I hungered for a moment to be able to pen some of it. One needs far more than a pen and paper to form your kind of work. Thanks so much! |

"Marge-in-charge", is that a fact Well, better hang your quipping hat For I'll out-quip you every time And well out-whip your quipping rhyme I'll have this "quicker picker upper" Singing loudly for her supper You'll be down on bended knee Asking me for "Mercy, Mercy!" Liz |

Marge dips her pen in Rainbow's inkwell, under Sunshine she sits and casts her spell, to please all others is her choice, we sit and read, and quietly rejoice! Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

A Sandgrain - Thank you so much for your very kind words. Inspiration is everywhere. Why, if one ever got away ... I'd have to call a squad of muses to catch it. Thank you again. Elizabeth, my friend - With quip in hand I do reply. Don't even go there ! Don't even try ! I'll not only beat you with my quick quipper upper .. I'll have you singing for your supper. The greatest match I've ever entered, around your quips will be centered. Dig into your bag of quips .. I'll do it double without a blip. It will seem to you as though you've met the whirlwind, Round She Goes ! When you think you've got her beat .. you'll turn and find her Quipping on her feet ! Not on bended knee .. Merci, no ! Off to the showers YOU WILL GO ! You know I love you Lizzie dear ... but I've got on my quipping gear ! It's okay if you surrender. I'll gloat a little but, oh so tender. I so enjoy a really good match ... inspired by the hunt, elated by the catch. Nan - Yes, then I'll be a quicker clicker on my quicker quipper ! Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! Severn - Hands heard clapping, greatly appreciated ... a reply from you leaves this lady elated. Hoot - A great treat for us all. Visiting here in Inspiration Hall. Sunshine - Such great beauty to be found .. under the tree of inspiration we gather round. Pepper - So glad you liked. Come back for more. Lots of inspiration in Passions store. *To each of you for your replies ... please understand,please realize, I appreciate each of you and the inspiration you leave on my doorstep. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
