It was New Year’s Eve for Passion’s poets gathered in my midnight reverie Everyone was joyfully mingling On this night of fun and revelry! Michael and Femme standing hand in hand Sharing a story with Nan and Balladeer There stood Long John and his Lorelei As Toerag waxed poetic about beer Iloveit, suthern and RainbowGirl Giggled wickedly behind Toe’s back At the table Marge, Pepper and Severn Ate Vienna sausages for a snack The band began to play a tango As Gunslinger took to the floor He partnered Denise and Sunshine Till they were upstaged by dancing Seymour I looked over in the corner and Saw DreamEvil in conversation With Christopher, Kess and Satiate About where to get inspiration Darquewing, WhtDove and NightAngeL Were watching each twinkling light Elizabeth, Echo and Sally argued semantics With Lost Dreamer and First_Knight Perched on bar stools sipping white wine Were Alicat, LadyCat and Hoot Craig was reciting a poem he wrote A foolish one that was really quite cute Elizabeth Santos and roxane Isis and Saxoness Were marveling at the ladies In all their fancy dress Brad and Doreen held court At a table in the back Alwye and Andrew took notes On their discussion iambic Marilyn and Caroline raptly listened To Tim’s court appointed tales While Tara, Julie and jbouder Discussed poetry book sales But when the clock on the wall Chimed eleven fifty nine All poets stood and joined hands To sing Auld Lang Syne As the bells around the world Proclaimed the brand New Year I leaned over to Ron And whispered in his ear “The home you have created Is filled with love and good cheer We thank you for all you’ve done To make us welcome here There is a saying you may know What you do at the end of a year Is what you will do in the new one So chose your activity wisely, dear. This year on the last stroke of the clock I’ll spend my time at home Drinking to Passion’s health And writing another poem! |

Bloody Mary for me please. Oh, and with a poetic twist. I like 'um spicy ;-) Work like money doesn't matter, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching... |

Hope I can pay attention to a gin & tonic or two...*LOL* Great one, Ms. DeVine  A very Happy New Year to you and all of the Passions Family! I'm sorry I won't be here to celebrate with you all  (Balladeer...psssst...I saw Severn hiding a few of those sausages in her purse...I think she might be persuaded to sell you a couple!  ROTFLMAO) |

And a Happy New Year to you Sharon from Craig, Coof and Coegwyr. ( Where are all the walls when you want one )  Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

Well Lady DeVine... How nice of you to take note of my presence. I am truly flattered and I raise a glass to you as well. I enjoyed the party and I liked the way things ended... you are a kind host and may we have many years together within these poetic halls. A glass to Ron as well. Happy New Year! |

A resolution...a few - to be published - OK, to even GET the poems in an envelope would be a good start...! To, well, just survive the punches life hasn't bothered to pull. (And as for Miss Caroline I saw her stuffing whole bottles of gin down her dress! Tch tch - and she was pretending to listen...) K[This message has been edited by Severn (edited 12-30-1999).] |

I'll be here writing (and drinking whiskey) I have to say I loved these two versus: As the bells around the world Proclaimed the brand New Year I leaned over to Ron And whispered in his ear “The home you have created Is filled with love and good cheer We thank you for all you’ve done To make us welcome here |

Well I am feel honored to even be mentioned, but why would I be arguing semantics?? I don't know the meaning of anything LoL and and and I don't like to argue hehe j/k I love to argue and discuss historical and psychological classifications of words and forms in linguistic development! I do love the poem though, and I too would like to thank Ron for all he has done to make us feel welcome here! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

I am honored to have made a cameo here, but allow me to let you in on a little secret -- were I in such bright company, I would NOT be standing around talking about where to get inspiration!! My resolution? Well, I would have to say first and foremost that I resolve to find someone other than my cat and/or best friend to kiss at midnight come New Year's 2001! Excellent verse, Sharon, and may your New Year's be as decadent as I am hoping for my own! (hehehehe) Start 2000 off with a hangover, that's my motto -- that way I'll be too busy to worry about Y2K! --Kess the drunken reveler [This message has been edited by Skyfyre (edited 12-30-1999).] |
