Isn't poetry just maddening,
both heart tugged and gladdening?
Isn't it the waxing of grace?
The way to make redeeming face

Don't the words just pull you in
to the soul that lives within?
Don't the thoughts so draw you out,
to the world and round about?

Isn't rhyme the loveliest,
making swirls from music blest?
Aren't the words just wonderful
leaning to life's tug and pull?

Isn't art all of of these things?
A touch of life on angel's wings.


Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

What a wonderful feel to this one, Keth...
this is just exactly the way I feel about poetry.

I'd have to definitely say yes to all your questions. This was really wonderful.  Hugs, Marti

Keth darling sister of my soul and keeper of my heart’s song this is simply exquisite, I love it when your words are wrapped in such soft and delicate wings of wonder. Mmmmm this is just too delicious for words. And again you fly my mind into fairyland where dreams are sprinkled with starlight and moonlight is reflected back inside dreamer’s song.

How beautiful the flow and the ease of this delight and as always darling heart your words shine like no other. Do I love this? YES YES YES I love it utterly utterly utterly. Beautifully written and perfectly presented. As I said this is exquisite

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Toe,
some words of encouragement,

your words have grace and sometimes poise
you use them as if they are toys
you make us laugh and that's a gift
heal torn hearts when there's a rift
you show your wisdom hid by wit
and make us think and smile a bit
you take the words turn them around
and leave us rolling on the ground
don't underestimate the bathroom wall
it's needed here by  one and all
just remember if you go
I have your tribute I will show.
Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Yes... they sure do! *S*

I thought your poem was wonderful when I first read it this morning... but your response to Toe is even better, Keth... or certainly dearer to my heart. *S* Hugs and thanks... maybe he'll listen to you? *S*

We could all join unions
'cuz writing dont' cause bunions
Some poems smell like onions
While others are just honey 'uns

You've a great sense for the "honey 'uns".  You are always a pleasure to read.

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light
