Oh, When He Sings ~*Marge Tindal*~ There was once a Balladeer who I chanced in life to know He traveled the world over performing his magic so His words played like music His tales brought visions I'd not seen Never have I heard a more melodious sound coming from this word machine Phrases so softly spoken He laid them gently on my heart He sang the songs of remember and then so quietly he did part I've searched the world over for the Balladeer of my memory recall I find him here on Passion's stage performing for us all He might not think it's music that he brings forth in his rhyme But, Oh when he waxes poetic he touches this heart of mine He just has to be a singer for I hear his melody on every note he releases from within his poetry I admire his poetic manner when he shares all of these things Balladeer writes fine poetry ... but Oh, when he sings ! *A kiss of muse for Balladeer* I thank you for the beautiful songs ~And only because it's true~ |

Kaile~ Thank you. This wonderful man has so inspired me in my time here. The true quality of his work is amazing. Throw in that wonderful sense of humor and that's our Balladeer ! He is quite a talented poet. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge, if you heard my singing voice, you might change your mind!  This is such a wonderful thing you've done, dear friend. I think that way back in my family tree there could have actually been a balladeer because I love to do it so much. Fortunately for me, I have found a beautiful place with such wonderful people who allow me to display my little fantasies to their approval and for this I will always be grateful. I thank you again, sweet person, for your beautiful words and uplifting thoughts and - remember - the show ain't over until the old 'deer stops singing and I ain't planning on letting that happen for a long time!  < !signature-->In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him.

MyBalladeerBuddy~ Everything you write sings ! It is your phrases that puts the 'voice' to the song. I'll be here 'listening' ... keep singing. Love ya' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I don't think I've seen as many tributes to anyone as I have seen for Balladeer! Does that say something, or what? Great poem, Marge!Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

A big standing "O" for both of you. Enjoyed the concert. (lighters held high waving in the crowd; swaying to the melody)  |

Marge, if only you and Balladeers inspiration and poetry could be bottled, I think we would tap into one of the secrets of quality in life, but then again it would not be as apprecitated as it is right now. Nice piece. |
