Love’s words crested
Resolve was tested
Patience was bested
Time was ingested
Thoughts were nested
The flowers rested
Searching for the detested
No one was invested
Was god vested
Was the world wrested
From a bested love invested detested?

What in Heaven's name are you trying to
do?  Make my mind, once rested, be tested
by what you have invested?  And if this
blasted repetetive injested, infested,
wretched sound doesn't leave my mind,  I
think it will be suggested that I take
a leave of absence...

PS...great write..

Jiminy! *G* I'm glad I never had to memorize this for elocution... I'd still be untangling my tongue. LOL But I certainly did enjoy. *G*

Ouch!

Now that my tongue is untangled
though my thoughts are still somewhat mangled
and my nerves are thorougly jangled
by this work that is forthright and spangled
I hope that this styling new fangled
is not the main type that is wrangled
or else you may find yourself strangled
and with some handcuffs be bangled
:P~~~~~
My brain hurts from reading your work.
Kethry

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

The only difference between the creative and the conformists is that the creative will not be conquered and the conformists already are.
