Poetic Touches In Tampa Happiness and love Flowed as freely as the Sun which shone From the cloudless sky Linking each link A soul in the circle Of friends Keth, smiling always Smiling and warm Loving, talented And witty Maureen, good tempered Practical and A terrific cook Titia, tremendous fun She has a great sense Of humour The quickness of her wit Deceives the unwary Margie, what can I say She is magic The flow of spirit within Is obvious to all Who meet her Bill, Margie's partner Talented and entertaining His songs warmed us And his elephants Stole our hearts Pilgrimage, oh what a delight Her voice as soft as a whisper Her wit sharp as a knife Her eyes dance With mischief I was so pleased to see her 'Deer, what a man is he Poet sublime, witty Charming and has A voice that steals the show Truly a special man Fran his partner Charming, pretty and Such a poet She is very special Isabel, a woman of Conviction and energy I wish I'd had a longer chat With Isabel Seymour, gentle and quiet He is a listener, He hears music within his soul An artist of many talents I really enjoyed meeting him Lyra, the first thing you Notice is the life That bubbles constantly She talks oh how she talks Lively and animated David, he is quieter He tries to sink into the Background, to support Not to obtrude He is a loving soul Then there's my mum Mushy Mum is simply that my mum She smiles and is there Always, whenever and wherever Linked we are in hearts and souls Together melded, Meshed into A unity of wonder Each soul like the note in a song Separate they are beautiful Played together they make A complete whole This poetic meet, a hymn of beauty That will play within my soul Until the colours that shade the Rainbow fade into grey Or until the stars lose their sparkle Thank you each of you For dancing on my soul Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers at every pore with instant fires Andrew Marvell 1621-1678 [This message has been edited by Krissy (10-24-2002 11:03 AM).] |

Krissy my little babe, that is the Krissy writing I recognise, something that holds an indefinable something. I love you and would even if you weren’t my eldest daughter, when you write like this, I am so proud of you. The flow of words seem to fall straight from your heart. I love it darling I utterly utterly love it. Love and warm stuff as always Mushy   Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Wow, Krissy, you really pegged everyone well! There was such a variety of personalities there and yet we all felt very much at ease with each other. It was a special time that will not be forgotten... as for Krissy.. Warm, funny, with a smile that lights a room and energy that has no end....  |

Krissy, I'll dance on your grave, dance to the moon, dance to your tune, dance like a loon but to dance with your soul would take a rare and talented person and this I cannot do, for your words soar and fill the air with sparkling diamonds. Thank you for being there. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

OhMyLittleKrissy~ YOU ... quietly in the background ... doing without seeking recognition ... being without knowing how you're loved ... lovingly giving of yourself ... knowing the all of us so well ... kindly giving and giving and giving~ How I loved the quiet moments with you ... the little 'knowing' glances we exchanged ...  You are a breath of fresh youth to remind us all ... that we ARE family~ Thank you, darling girl for all you brought with you ... for all the good memories you left ... for all the moments I shall remember for a lifetime~  We wub you ... UTTERLY~  BIG *HUGS* ~*Marge and Bill*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Krissy, this is so sweet and touching. I am so glad that all of you nice people bonded so well. Being here in Florida, it would have been nice to have gotten to know all or you personally. But, I think the meet was on the week that I joined here. Anyway, I have gotten to know you all by the loving poems ya'll have written about the wonderful time you all had. You all are a delight. Thanks for sharing your hearts. Love To All, Ethel [This message has been edited by garysgirl (10-24-2002 10:02 AM).] |

Krissy my sweet friend for life, you've touched my heart with your beautiful description of everybody's soul. Krissy, an open smile that melts your heart A laugh so fresh and young Wondering if she, by age, really could belong I must say, I never noticed a difference in our age dear, because you made us all feel yours   TitiaLike scattered leaves...my words will flow |

(smiles) Oh Krissy, this is sooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I cried reading this as I would have loved to meet you so very much, I guess college kind of kept me from coming and I am so very happy you all had a marvelous time together! (sigh) Always cherish these memories with all your heart, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Krissy, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Krissy, I loved reading your account of the poets from the gathering in Tampa. Seems you too had a wonderful time. Hugs, Marti Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |

Krissy... David and I both thank you for this lovely poem. I think your descriptions were right on target...but what about Krissy... You forgot about her! So, I will do it for you... okay, here goes... Krissy, a bright and pretty young woman... wise beyond her years. A wonderful daughter with a hint of mischief hiding behind those bright eyes... Thanks for sharing this with all of us, we had such a wonderful time and I will never forget it. It was a joy to have met you and all of the others ~ hugs from across the big pondLyra |
