We must begin with Ron to make this poets stew
for without him it can't be, we all know it's true.
Then we'll add a little Balladeer to spice it up a bit
and salt it with some Long John ( but the kittys just don't fit!)

Then we'll add some Sunshine, her touch of warmth will make it right,
and of course some Eagle one (let's hope it don't take flight!)
Ah, now just a dash of Marge to give it Native flavor
along with just a dash of Sven, the taste we now can savor.

We'll season it with Kit, to add the perfect rhyme
and add a dab of Mistletoe, and some dust from our friend Startime.
Oh yes, there is some sensual from our own beauty Greeneyes
and stirring in some Temptress, to add just a touch of sigh.

Drop in a pinch of Catalinamoon with a dash of our dear Sea
but nuts, it's still missing something...I know, it's Janet Marie!!
Perhaps some Mark Bohanan to flavor it with old west
and definately some R.Wood. Oh yes!  Now it's full of zest!!

Let's stir in some Enchantress to this special poets treat
with just a touch of Seymour to make it really neat.
Auguste has to be here, his visions will help us learn
and now it's some Bill Charles ( oh it's hot now, I hope it doesn't burn!)

Yes! Just a dash of Mysteria to add flavor beyond compare
not to forget our own OWG (yeah, but do you think we dare?)
Then we'll add Joyce Johnson, with just a tad of Midnite Sun
Logan and Martie have been stirred in just to make it fun.

There are so many ingredients to make this pot of stew
with just to many names, Hey!  Would you all please jump in too?
For without each and every one of you, we couldn't have this delicassey~
you see you all add something special~~It's your gift of poetry!!

(If anyone wants to add to the stew
please feel free,
and If I haven't mentioned your name,
please don't get mad at me!!)  *w*

GentleSpirit~
This is DELICIOUS~

And if you don't mind
I have a 'spice' or two ...
Stirred gently in the pot
of your poetic stew~

I'd have to add vlraynes
Known as Vicky to most ...
for she is just the sweetest condi-poe-iment
and she stirs the pot
with verse that's Heaven-sent~

Gotta throw a litle Nan~
into this poet-pan~
For nobody stirs it up
like our Naniness can~

And a spice from across the sea
Known as Mushy Marsha
to all of 'we' (ouch)
She surely will add her flavor
to the dishes we all savor
and probably concoct
a mighty special brew
to toast the mixing of your stew~

Oh, there are soooooo many
but, I'll leave room upon the shelf
for others to come and add
their favorite spices, themselves~

This is super special~
Thanks, gal~
*Hugs*

Aren't these so much fun to do...I can bet dollars to donuts you don't find this type of poetry in other forums...

I know...I've looked!

And when I was done looking? Just clicked my red shoes three times...and I was home!

Your stew would be a fine complement to any dinner, Donna.
I bet its delicious...If you would like to add some chipmunk to it...there is an extra bonus. I carry acorns in my cheek pouches, so you could have a bit of nutty flavor.
But it was great just as it was!
Much enjoyed!

25 posted 2002-01-09 09:41 AM

in this batch of heaven
in this fantastic poet's brew
I have a few flavors
I would add in too!

We need a little sugar,
so add in a touch of Sugar High
and don't forget our Acire
he's one heck of a guy!

I'll add some Interloper
to blend in his haiku heat
and don't forget the resident romantic
Magnus is a poetic treat

don’t forget dear Duncan
my favorite Cowboy
his sweet gentle way
brings us all such joy!

And there is some Serenity needed
In this poet’s mix
With a heaping helping of some Irish Rose
And her ever changing pics!

James Michael
Now there is flavor bliss
Spicy sensuality
In warm tasty kiss

Oh there are so many,
To be added to this brew
But we need to not forget
Some Gentle Spirit
In this Passions brew!!

This stew is beginning
To really smell delicious
Thank you Donna for mixing
A stew for all of us.

While it is simmering
We have to stop and think
Who will offer up the blessing
For this stew and our drink

A good person I’m thinking of
And I believe all will agree
Is none other than our teacher.
It is Mr. David, deleeme

I would think, to this stew
some little MotherEarth would likely do
some butterflies_dont_cry fluttering in
would likely add to the brew

Magnus comes to stir the pot
for LarryC's been nearly shot
for he took Lucie for a spin
now you see the pot she's in!

I am sure more will add to this brew
to flavor yet this poetry stew...

now, what good would any stew be
without the salt we get from SEA?
there would be no reason or rhyme
not to add a dash of Startime.
we would be remiss in God's sight
not to include Lady in White.
I know I’ve added only three
I have no more time that is free.

Read something very, very similar to this two days ago ( 07/01/2002 ) on a different site. It was called "Poet Soup" Same format
just different names.

Please note my name was missing
In the stirring of the brew
But to speak in candid phrases
I’m too sexy for this stew

And I notice now the fire
underneath is getting hot
But I’m already heated
And too sexy for the pot

I’m too sexy for the others
Who will soon be mushroom smothered
I’m too sexy for a fork or spoon
Too sexy for those hot legumes

Don’r add me to the recipe
For I’m too sexy to be me
And anyway, I’ve got to show’em
Someone’s left to write a poem

About a poet stew now so well known
In which I’m just too sexy to be thrown

Hehe - great little poem
Enjoyed reading

Again all, I thank you very much. Ven, if you would care to provide a link to this other site I would be more than glad to check it out.

I believe some time back we had a poem similar to that name on our very own Passions site, although I don't remember the exact name. I don't frequent other sites, I have very little time to spend here at home as it is. Again all, thanks much and hugs. Donna

Dear Donna,
I check out six different poery sites (though I only post at three) and after posting on here yesterday I decided to go through them all and find the poem that I told you about so that I could post the url and you could go and read it for yourself then decide, what, if any action you wanted to take.
I've been through all five of these other sites with a fine toothcomb and I cant find it ( I know I did'nt dream this) all I can think is that whoever wrote it saw my post here and decided to have their version deleted.
If I see it again, I'll be sure to make a note of the url for you.

Respects,
Ven.
