It's on the Periodic Table
And scientists have been able
To make a little bit of it;
Then Nature just gets rid of it...

It's right in line with silver and gold,
An ounce would equal a fortune untold,
They say it's worth more than a price
And to be rich, a gram would suffice...

But I believe there's something more
With greater worth and wealth galore
On which a price cannot be placed;
This idea I've embraced...

Far and wide I searched, then found
A beautifully rhyming gathering ground!
Immediate happiness it brought--
It's this element I had sought.

There is no single name for this,
An amalgam of joy and bliss
And many more good things and times
Hidden, revealed within the rhymes.

Happiness is in the words
Graceful poets here, like birds
Wonder and awe are in the phrases
From what I see, it all amazes!

With this element you'll find
Warmth of heart and peace of mind.

If you haven't guessed so far,
This element is where you are--
This place that's been so good to me,
known as Passions in Poetry.

This happens to be my 100th originating post!!
*YAY!!*  

This is dedicated to all the wonderful people here at Passions in Poetry, thanks for putting up with my nonsense and giving me some comfidence as well as a lot of praise I don't deserve.  

You've all been wonderful people (and I'm pretty sure will be for a good long time)...

I might not be able to post or reply as often as I used to, back in the first couple of months I was here, but I'll try and stop by as often as I can.  

I'd try and name all of the people I dedicate this to, and I might put it in another reply, but right now I can't count how many people I'm thankful for.

Thanks again,


Little Spyro T. Dragon

Thanks for your comments, everyone... I hope this at least gets somewhere in the book, just so everyone knows how great a place Passions is.

Little_Spyro~
This is a wonderful commemorative piece.

I'm sure you realize you've added an element
of your own to the treasures here.

.999 Fine  

More precious than silver and gold
the hearts of friends that we all hold.
