(I wrote this poem a long time ago, but it seemed appropriate for this time of year) It’s high time that the sky is pink and the stars stay out all day. It’s high time we say hello and smile into eyes that warm the front yards of each others hearts. It’s high time that you’re glad to know me and I, knowing nothing of you, just know all I need to know. It’s high time that without roses I sense something that is beautiful and delicate, the petals not turning brown to my touch. It's high time pollywogs moonbeams pusywillow that are not there yet, are somewhere giving the impression of perhaps in spring. It’s high time that politics and oceans and other vast deep and who knows what it's all about things turn upside down and show there other sides. It’s high time that all the paperback books in the world turned themselves into human tears or maybe laughter and perhaps even love. It’s high time to sing a song about a we a thee and a me in a crazy world full of ever growing sweet peas It’s high time that you and I be us and create a heaven full of chocolate molasses and the moon and much more care of small smiles. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Oh Martie, I don't know how you do it... But you've done it again. As I was reading the radio played in one of the children's back rooms. It was playing "Love Is A Rose." It certianly is a time to be living. Warm Warm (((Hugs))) lucky_t@canada.com |

Well yes I take that chocolate there  A very fine poem Martie, and it contains so much sweets and sweetness it's dripping Did I tell you I love chocolate It's high time you and I get together , about the chocolate that is The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Martie- If this poem said nothing more than- 'smile into eyes that warm the front yards of each others hearts'- it would have said it all. Beautiful, my friend. Beautiful. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Loved it Martie Did Jesus laugh? I think He did, 'cause He was once a little kid; and all of us were made with joy both sugar-spice girl and snake-snail boy! |
