I yearn to be your everything, The one who holds your heart To go through life your other half - Entwined souls death can’t part. I long to be soft on your thoughts And bring smiles to your face For home to be where we both are Regardless of the place. I want to be held in your arms Through each and every night And wake to true love’s bliss of kiss With every morning’s light. I want to share your hopes and dreams And chase away your fears Together enjoying happiness Or drying each other’s tears. But love is not a product of My fantasies and schemes And I know I’m simply not The woman of your dreams. Perhaps I cannot touch your heart, Won't be the one you’ll wed - But as long as we’re both free tonight May I grab your tush instead? |

You and Toe must be related, for you both have bent minds. You can write a perfectly great, serious poem, then add that twist, that touch of humor that has me grinning ear to ear. Love this.... Hugs and warm regards, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

suthern, you sweet friend, You had me going there... I was just thinking of asking you if I could send this one to my Gary, and then I came to the last two verses and almost fell out of my chair laughing...HaHa!!  I would still like to send it to Gary, if it's okay? Thanks for sharing...  "Love makes the world go around" |

i don't like it. i mean, sure, the diction in the poemw as good. and you managed to settle it with a consistent tone. but it's got nothing. it's all cliche, 'boo hoo hoo, oh .. i love you' -?- and then, the end just really irritated me. scattered itself, if anything--i went for its consistence, but the end bit just broke it off. so, yep. there'#### honesty. i didnt enjoy it. muah. -chris. |

Suthern beloved sister of my soul, how can I tell you how utterly first class this is? Not least because it is so incredibly tender, but that hook at the end is absolutely perfect, it brought such a grin, I love it. Its so rare I get the chance to see one of yours beloved one, you know I’m in here far to infrequently, but I’m so glad I got the chance to see this jewel of a poem. Far too often gems like this fall too quickly down the page and get lost, I am not letting this get lost at all. Absolutely exquisite writing beloved one, I love it utterly utterly utterly.  Love and warm stuff as always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Suthern beloved one I came back simply because I adore your writing, no one has the ease of style you portray, no one managed to write with so much joi d’vivre. Anyone who can write as well as this and consistently so deserves all the praise I heap upon you Christian, a little side note, I’m aware that my beloved Suthern is more than capable of dealing with her own affairs, but hopefully she’ll give me the privilege of just mentioning this. This site is a place where we each write in our own way and for not just our own pleasure but others too. Its founding principle, which is clearly stated in the guidelines, is one of tolerance and friendship. If you don’t agree to the rules of play then you really shouldn’t do so. Suthern is one of the few writers whose work is consistently superb. She has both ability and quality, not for Suthern sloppy work that is unacceptable. She has high standards and always maintains them. I know quality, I understand why something is good and why something doesn’t work. The benefits of a quality education, there have to be some you know, so believe me when I state Suthern’s work is not only superb it is exceptional. Just one last thing, people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, I’m sure you get my drift   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 [This message has been edited by Marsha (12-19-2002 07:36 AM).] |

Marsha: To know I gave you a grin delights me. *S* Thank you so much! *S* GS: Thank you so much... I’m very glad you liked! *S* Sunshine: Santa Claus? christian? *G* Bill: Of course. *G* The rough stuff comes a bit later. LOL Thanks for reading! *G* Coco: I’d kinda like to put that last line into action. LOL Thank you so much! *S* M’toe: What a beautiful wish! *S* I thank you very much! *S* christian: Being entitled to an opinion is NOT an open invitation to share such indiscriminately. Mushy One: I thank you for the revisit... and the support. *S* I honestly don’t have any problem with someone thinking my work sucks... I think the same of much I read, including many of my own. *G* I do, however, have a problem with someone insisting on sharing critiques that haven’t been solicited and in doing so, making their introduction to PIP one of rudeness, rather than respect. I get the “seasoning” I need from a Tabasco bottle, thank you very much. *G* |

Suthern, I like your wits, go grab some tushes girl. And to Christian: like Marsha said, besides this is not the critique forum but even then you have to be kind to people. If you don't like it, you have a choice not to reply to it! Maybe you're used to the rules on other poetry sites, but here at PIP we respect each persons writings.
