I stand in a meadow The melody of her voice weaves Subtle webs around me I am held captive By her searchlight eyes Don't emancipate me Don't emancipate me Don't emancipate me I'm happy where I am Please don't free me Please don't free me Please don't free me Please don't free me Why? Don't wanna be lonely Don't wanna be free of Don't wanna be free of Don't wanna be free of Love So Mister Stove Pipe Hat Man I hopes you understand That I am held captive By her searchlight eyes And I'm happy where I am Alicat, the Persnikitty As I sit here dimly thinking Watching modem lights a-blinking Churning out poetic hash. Lord, in all Your piety, Help me keep my sanity: Please don't let the modem crash! --Alicat |

Okay Ali, I just have to comment on this one. Yanno, of course I think this is a great poem because you're quite an amazing poet...I can really hear you reading this in one of your many varied wonderfully whimsical 'reading' voices. (Either that, or I've forgotten to take my pills...)  Very cool, m'dear. Exceptional. N. |

No, I didn't vote for my own poem... I just wanted to thank everyone for taking the time to read and comment on the one poem I've written that I can actually remember. I swear, sometimes I think my mind is like Swiss Cheese...full of holes and ... well, cheesy...hmmm..... Alicat |
