Lovely poem, lovely thoughts. May YOU have all the blessings of the season. May the Miata take you only to the places you want to go, may you have peace and love and hope and time. Thank you for sharing your home with us. What would our lives be like without it? I shudder to think about it. Your heart is as kind and giving as any I've ever known. I am personally blessed to call you friend. I love you. God bless you. |

Best wishes for the holidays Ron. Thank you so much for this site, and allowing us all to over-run it!! In the short time I have been here, I have met some wonderful people and read their beautiful poetry. I can honestly say that my love of poetry has increased tenfold with your great pages. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in behind the scenes for us all. You make it seem so effortless, but I know that it is far from that. Best wishes for the new year.

You offer us a place where we can congregate in verse ... A charming host, a friendly home … where poets can converse; A habitat of harmony, where hearts and spirits climb, Through every post, through each response, through every heartfelt line. The ambiance that filters through these pages colored blue, Reflects the rainbow of your heart, the many hues of you; I wish for you, a myriad of merriment and cheer, For all the joy you bring to us throughout each wondrous year. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Ron. Best wishes and big hugs, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (12-24-2001 02:44 PM).] |

When the Night Before Christmas begot Christmas Day, Ron packed the Miata; 'twas red like a sleigh With gifts overflowing all bungied on tight He tied them all down though it took all his might... His whole family was grateful to steal him away From his Passionate post where he usually stays Fawn fed him bread pudding and lots of fine foods In hopes that he'd stay and enjoy festive moods He kicked back for the day and received lots of stuff Packed it all in the Miata when he'd had enough With an imminent snowstorm he dared not contend He then hurried on home - he had poets to tend... Have a truly wonderful Christmas Day Give everyone a hug for me Googols upon Googols of L.A. ..  .. |

I must have missed this one... Thank you Mysteria... and thanks Ron, for I have met many (all) wonderful friends from this site and it has been a refuge of sorts whether for a comforting read or for the need to release or write just for the joy of it. Wishing you a very happy holiday season and a new year of all that one wishes. Maureen |
