She Rode Paper Ponies ~*Marge Tindal*~  In the dimly-lit attic she found a chest of treasured words Books chock-full of adventuresome thoughts like none she'd ever heard~ Chores all done at set of sun she'd climb the stairs with ease Then settle down among the pages travelling a reader's impossible dreams~ There was no place she could not go within the author's storied pride From a foot locker of poverty she learned that paper ponies she could ride~ So she rode her paper ponies until the sun came up each morn Somewhere along the word-path from the attic another writer was born~ *Artwork 'Outrageous Dream' Oil on Linen ~ by Nancie Richers ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

This brought back many memories. I used to read everything I could get my hands on and LIVED each story. Well told tale, Marge...one that many writers can relate to.  |

Ok, ok, so this brings back Black Beauty, Beautiful Joe, Little Women, Little Men....Treasure Island, Robinson Crusoe...all with the thought that someday, when I was old enough to make sense, I would like to change a little girl's life...who knows...certainly, You Have... |

Beautiful picture Marge....but this is wonderful writing..... "There was no place she could not go within the author's storied pride From a foot locker of poverty she learned that paper ponies she could ride~ So she rode her paper ponies until the sun came up each morn Somewhere along the word-path from the attic another writer was born~" Just excellent! |

Marge: A wonderful poem and I loved it! I was an avid reader from the time I learned how and always had a book hidden somewhere to escape to. Beautiful picture and what an imaginative title. Betty Lou Hebert |

This is so absolutely gorgeous, Marge...it reminds me a bit of a poem, I have been trying to write about all of my Dad's old books and how I used to write and draw pictures in them as a child. ~ hugs and wordsLyra |

Marge this was really touching and reminds me of my daughter. From a very young child she loved to read and every book she could get her hands on took her to a wonderful place. We would spend hours talking about some of her favorites. Thank you for taking me to a wonderful place. Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

Margie girl darling sister of my heart and collector of my hearts dreams this is quite probably one of the truest and best poem I've ever read and I mean it.. You are inarguably the best writer of hearts thoughts than anyone I know. You darling heart write PURE MAGIC and that's no lie. YOU are utterly utterly utterly superb. And I know this, I read your writing and knew that you were a great writer. Knowing your spirit as I do, I KNOW, you can and do shine like the sparkle from a precious jewel. Others write well amazingly well, you shine out as a star. Biased I may be but anyone reading this jewel will agree with me  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |
