I read a lot more than I post
Not being much a poet
Your poems really touch my heart
Just wanted you to know it.
Some of you have been my friends
For quite a stretch of time
Others I don't know so well
But I enjoy your rhyme.
There are those I love so much
If life should end today
I'd know I'd tasted heaven
Just because they came my way.
And there are ones who seem to know
When I am feeling down
For as I read their words, I find
Smiles replacing my frown.
On this special day of thanks
As I should more often do
I'm sending Passion's poets
A deeply felt "thank you."

Kethry: Thank you very much! *S* The idea is definitely beautiful... but the giving thanks often takes a back seat to overeating and football. *G*

Toerag: Thanks, sweets... There's really no way I can do people like Elizabeth Santos, Balladeer, Poet DeVine, Seymour, Janet Marie, WhtDove, LJA, Corazon, and a certain dear Toerag justice... for your compassion and kindness enrich my life as much as your poetry delights my soul. *S* I just wish you were around more... for you're one of the finest! *S*

thank you for your words of grace ... and for expressing so sweetly what we all feel here...what we all have in common ...
the ties that bind us...
BUT, my dear...I must protest...
you are a poet...tis not how often you post...
many of your poems left an imprint and impression...
many times I have read your poems thru mirrors...
you are indeed a poet. I SAY SO!!  
take care girlie-girl

I demand a recount...all of those who believe suthern to be "a poet"...raise this back to the top!

Suthern,
You are a poet no doubt about it. It's not quantity my dear but quality. And you are a gem. *L*

You sweetheart, do you know how important a reply and someone reading is to a poet!
It's very important, and meaningful just that you took the time to read and respond means the words matter.........now post a wonderful poem, we know you can!< !signature-->

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life.

Yanno, it never ceases to amaze me how lil Belle can write a poem all about me, and everybody else thinks it's for them.  hmmmpphhhh - makes me wanna kick a cat!

I like the flow in this poem, Belle.  I think you self-deprecate out of habit now - you are a wonderful woman, but you have allowed yourself to slide into a life filth and degradation in pursuit of Toerag.  Please save yourself - lol.  if that doesn't get the lil Belle fired up, I'm gonna hang up my dancin' shoes!
