This is the start of a my Passions gallery, I know Sven is doing a superb job, and so is Kethry. But I really want to do this, because I love you all. < !signature--> The Songs Of Passions Friends (Part 1) Marge writes poems that lifts us up,giving us wings to fly Her poems are always beautiful, weaving dreams into a sigh She enlivens when she writes a poem full of love and fun There's no darkness when she's around she awakens the sun Ever creative and special her work is wonderful and so true Write on Marge our friend we can never have too much of you Sunshine brings the light that brightens and warms our days Her poems are a delight and full of wisdom whatever she says Her words show us the way forward and she leads us there She is Passions warmth, it's heart, in her love we all share Ever wise and ever loving we celebrate your gifts of pure poetry Shine on Kari our friend your love illuminates life's mystery Mark our resident Cowboy brings us gifts beyound our measure His poems transport us to lands where poetry is the treasure His words bring forth sighs and mingles them with soft dreams He is the one who brings us willingly to loves' flowing streams Words become a magic carpet and we're off to the Isle of Sigh Soar high Mark our friend take us on your journey across the sky Kethry writes oh so wonderfully of all kinds of delightful things She invites us please to join her in the poetry songs she sings Her touch is deceptively simple but it's not as easy as it looks Her words ensnare and catch us like fish on her poetry hooks Truth and love she inscribes, it pours from her like a waterfall Lead us Kethry our friend into the sanctuary of poetrys' hall SEA writes of the oceans and of the love amongst it's surging waves She shows us her deep love of life and how love heals as it saves Her words talk of the sea and it's ever changing ebb and flow Circes' talent is abundant and reading it our hearts really glow Love shines through her work it bathes her poems with light Flow ever on Circe our friend your poems are truly our delight Ethome is a singer of poetry he sings poems of rhythm and blues He paints the music, somehow he shows us all it's different hues He has the ability to reveal our complexities lifting the lid on life Putting our lives into song, singing about love and our daily strife Clearly singing his song, his voice rising clear and so very strong Sing on Prinny True our friend raise your voice in lifes' love song Paula writes poetry that fills us with romance and love so true She writes of knights, their sacred quests and of their loves too Her words paint us clear pictures of what has now long gone before We read and see those romantic days now sadly they are no more Her soul reaches across and touches us as we follow her knights Touch us Paula our friend enthrall us with tales long into the night Janet Marie etches her name deep within ourselves making us soar Her words trigger a wonderful peace that truly makes hearts thaw Her gift to us is love it opens our souls and washes us in divine grace The poetry she bathes us in is pure angelic love reflected in her face Her touch is light like an angels smile it radiates from her true heart Smile Janet Marie our friend we ask that you stay here please don't part Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 12-03-2000).] |

Oh my goodness little one...you've started quite a project, I figure you've got about 4,500+ people to go write about now... and you are so correct...Marge awakens the light in all of us...and I truly believe that in the light, all poets will find warmth, at least, in the blue walls of Passions... now, get that pen out for Part II...I am holding my breath... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Well, this was a treasure to find and not because I was included(thank you btw). Your tributes will be welcomed by all I am sure just as your heart in every reply you make. You yourself bring many rays of light to us all so don't forget to include yourself.LOL Thanks again for including me and you seem to have penned and pinned the essence of some of the finest poets and hearts within these walls with your words. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Startime, thank you and I truly do, I am notoriously bad at repling to my own posts. So I do apologise, if my reply is short, it's not that I don't appreciate you replyingI truly do.  Prinny True, of course you know I only did it to get my hands on those superlatives don't you. (My counterfeit ones are okay but the gilt rubs off very quickly ) Seriously love, thank you, and of course I had to include you Janet Marie, it is you who honour me, and us all, your poetry is a gift, which I know is loved by all. So thank you most kindly, and I'm pleased you think it is worthy of those here. Kari, isn't it though, it shall be my ongoing project Still I did say life shouldn't be too easy didn't I? Thank you very muchly love. What did you think I'd exclude you because you had your very own, certainly not missus! Glad you liked it love, and it's fun too. (Besides it certainly beats Sunday afternoon telly here, and ........) Now I'm out of excuses. Take care Majestic Marsha Mark my friend, how could I not include you, I simply had to. I thank you so much, I really and truly do. And thanks so much for the compliment, if I managed to do a reasonable sketch then I am content. As for me I could describe me in about six words, and I'd find it difficult to rhyme chaos with anything. Anyway thank you very muchly.   Sven, thank you, so if Kethry's doing Passions Wing, what should I call these an alcove maybe. Take care Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Charisma, thank you, and they all deserve it, my idea is to do as many as I can. I might not manage them all but I'll do my best. And yours will be in 'part 2' thank you very muchly. Hi Martie, thank you very kindly, you know I appreciate it. And you are far too kind to me, but I try and that's all any of us can say. It's better to have tried than to live saying I wish I had. Thank you once again Take care Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Mushy, that you should write like this and include me in your list I'm humbled,flattered and the rest by this poem I'm truly blessed I'm writing you, as we speak I hope it leaves you feeling weak Marsha my dear did you know just how much we love you so.

Kari love, isn't it typical of me, yes indeed it is! Thanks for popping back to see the verse as it should have been. Take care Majestic Marsha with a hint of Mushy Kethry, Oh love, I'm so pleased you like it, I truly am, you all deserve it, and more. I do know that I love you all, and if some of that is reflected back then I am blessed indeed.

Circe, I so pleased you like it, I didn't know if you'd seen it. Thank you love as I've said I simply couldn't not write it, because I love you all as family. (In fact considering how I tease my sisters, probably more so.) Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Paula love, you are more than welcome, and of course I included you, I had to you know! Otherwise you'd set those manly knights on me I know! Thank you love, you honour me love, and if this little scribble of mine makes you smile then I am pleased. LgnJhnAg, I'm sure you are on my list for Part 3 love, and I'm glad you like the form, I think it's one I find easier than anything else. Although I'm sure by the time I've completed this 'Alcove' of mine I will have to start all over again. Still each and everyone is worth the effort.

Marsha~ In an alcove of the gallery I heard a sweet, sweet sound ~ I decided I would follow the song and just look at what I found. A pleasant room of musical penning full of muses of poetic insight ... to find myself among them gave me much delight ! You've placed this special piece for all of us to see ... Oh, my sweet Marsha ... I truly do thank thee. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge, No I thank you, for so many things not least for your wonderful poetic heart. I'm really pleased that you like it. I started it because well you all mean so much to me here. And I thought I'd let you all know. I know I say it often, but my mam, god bless her heart, said you can never tell those you love, too often that they are loved, admired, and are precious. So I always do, not what is expected of the English I know. But then in my family we are all an exception to the rule. Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
