My dearest poets (a thank you) If you could fall in love with words I'd fall in love with you all I ever wanted is every thing you do you bring me colors of the rainbow as in word flowers I could sit and listen to you for hours and hours take me places, I've never been I am never bored all of that and so much more you are my reward when sadness has me in its grips you wrap your arms around pull me oh so close to you I am safe and sound reach right past all my hurt there you touch my heart will always have you near to me we shall never part the world is such a sweeter place since I have you even the plain and simple through your eyes look new your always here to fill me up even as empty as I can be take my hand to lift me up you set my spirit free bring me shelter out of rain take me home ease my pain taste my tears stir my passion and all of this with the words you fashion yes its true you calm my soul even remind me when I'm out of control your forgiving, wise without thought of gender you make me so happy I awe in all your splendor you may think me foolish yes that could be true but if i could fall in love with words I'd fall in love with you This poem is inspired by all of you..........thank you Helen |

This brings back the memory of when I first found this place (with special thanx to rich)--mind if I share? "I read every word searching for pieces of me in the manner of an orphaned child scanning faces in the crowd looking for the eyes like mine and a grin, slightly bent..." Smiles and hugs, and welcome home, Helen. |

This is a wonderful poem. Its sweet to let everyone know once in a while how much you appreciate their words. I, for one, enjoy the work I have read by you so far. If it hasn't been much, just give me time.  *Jenn* Can I be your willful breeze, Come to touch, Your heart to ease? |

1slick_lady Your (thank you poem) is an insperation to all poets and amateurs alike. Like your lines say. " I could sit and listen to you for hours and hours take me places, I've never been" I've done that in here, and never leave this place without having visited a place that i've never been to before. Your welcome Amature2 |

The words you share with us I am sure are the way most of us feel. It is a blessing indeed to be able to come here and find the happiness and the beauty that poetry can bring and even share in the sorrows and the pains among friends that care and understand. I applaud you firstly on the poem and the sentiment and secondly...thank you for sharing it with us. If you find yourself stranded in a storm ...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together |
