This one's so fresh the ink's still wet, folks...enjoy!


Where do I go
When this well is dry?
Where can I find
The next watering hole on down the line?
There's nothing left in this place
To ease a parched throat,
And only dust
To quench this thirst.
I'll drown my sorrows
In a cupfull of sand
And dehydrate in teh desert heat.
They say it's not the heat that kills you,
But the humidity
(Or lack of).


"If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing."
--Kingsley Amis

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

I can't argue with that  

great poem I enjoyed  

Maree

"If my words could blanket the skies
and fill every corner and crevice of
this earth, still this wouldn't be enough"
"Maree Russo"
