Indignities Age has lent a silent grace That follows me from place to place And softens all the footstep fall That sharp of sound the world would call. Insidious the lesser lee And ignominious to me For I have lost some hear of say That now has flown beyond my way Along with that I’ve lost some pace Slower is my rate of chase And slower is my turn of mind And thinner is my shell of rind. And though I amplify the found It has a false and tinny sound It does not have that youthful core That filled my fancy full of awe. So if I pay you lesser mind Blame starvation of a kind. |

Uh oh.....  "I want a man with a slow hand I want a lover with an easy touch I want somebody who will spend some time Not come and go in a heated rush I want somebody who will understand When it comes to love, I want a slow hand" *written by John Bettis and Michael B. Clark recorded by the Pointer Sisters also recorded by Del Reeves, and Conway Twitty*  *smile* there I go, manipulating the "copy" again...but yer so irresistible! |

Serenity, My love for you is the phantom of the opera or my fantasy. Would you unmask me before the world? [This message has been edited by Seymour Tabin (08-13-2002 08:48 AM).] |

As I read this, and the comments, perhaps it is just the battery that needs the charge... for surely, your heart is full of what you feel! Hugging you! |

Enjoyed this very much. Truth but with a soft edge. Made for a nice read. In truth, what defines us is our poetry. |

Whatever you may have lost, it's not in the talent department... your awesome poems are evidence of that. *S* And having met you, I can testify that... whatever the indignities... you're still rather magnificent. *S* [This message has been edited by suthern (08-13-2002 11:32 AM).] |

My usual reply is Huh?...or What?...or I didn't understand what you said?.... Seems there is always something that just doesn't seem to work like it used to work. Huh, what was that? BTW...I know all about these things you are writing of....and you have written them well... |

With my birthday around the corner this has had impact on me. I can't seem to remember what day my birthday is? Humm, I do however, recall that it is sometime in the fall... Or maybe I had it already last year!  Nice read, thank you. |

Gosh...A poem I needed this fine morning. I just started a job, ah...oh, well. I have not worked for three years, and due to circumstances had to get a job. My body is not as spry,,,as my mind. What I mean to say is you are as old as you feel...BUT they forget to tell you someone must tell the body that too. heheheee. All joking aside, when I get used to it will be great. I am just using muscles I have not used in YEARS>instead of going back into commission sales am waitressing. WOW...what a difference. Yet, bad with the good....not near as much politics at work. Take care, I loved your poem. Coway |
