Come Again To Tara ~*Marge Tindal*~  Come again with me to Tara where dreams so fertile grew In stately mansions of the South where vision sprang anew Among the flatland fields of cotton ever-growing fabric of our life Before the history of the war created so much strife A time of rolling sunsets across the promenade of day Come again with me to Tara in fragrant magnolia sway I shall be your Scarlett you, my desirous Rhett We will write the chapters of a love they won't forget A time gone with the wind returns in soft array Come again with me to Tara on gently-breezed memories at play ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

This is really lovely. The imagery is very good. At least I thinks so. |

Ah, don't even get me started. How many times have I read this book....suffice to say...enough to quote lines.... but every time, because MM had it done just that way....I see something new...usually has to do with passages of time.... but to put it in my proper corner....what is new, comes old, what is old, comes new again.... |

Lisa~ Thanks so much. Elizabeth, my friend~ I appreciate you. Vicky~ Ahhh ... I so enjoy the book, over and over and over again. Karilea~ I'm on my 37th read ... It is a keeper of much delight. Each read finds a newly treasured tidbit. Logan~ And a flirtatious, "Fiddle-dee-dee", to you, sir.  CatalinaMoon~ Such charm ... such a rebel-rouser, scalawag and scamp. Right up my alley too ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

What I wouldn't give to live in that era...in the beautiful South before the war, when grace touched every fragment of life. Your writing here is as beautiful as Tara, and as emotionally charged as the love between Scarlett and Rhett. Thank you for this one, Marge...I do love it!! The road goes on forever, and the stories never end... |

SunnyOne~ Oh ... you made my day with your graceful comments. Yes ... a time of discovery for the genteel South. I have been to Tara ... in a life of the past~ Not surprising that I know the strife from both sides ... but oh, to return, if even on a memory is still a heavenly thought. Thank you for your reply so much. Roniece~ Of course I remember ...  Welcome home. Thank you for your reply. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Marge: This is one of my favorite books and you have captured some of it's charm in your poem. Life was so gracious before the war tore the South apart. We can go back in imagination and through your poetry. Betty Lou Hebert |
