You said melancholy pieces suit me well. Well, today I dressed up in my Sunday best, sobbed my belly out until my stomach swelled… In places of buttons, tears shone on my vest. Careful not to spill a drop, I rushed after you with a mouthful of poetry to recite... You were walking down a half-lit avenue, dressed seductively in black and white. I caught up to you on the corner, caught my breath and calmly proposed, “Listen, honey, I need a shoulder for the burden of verses that I’ve composed. Just ask me, and I’ll dedicate everything to you, overflowing with grief, and with tears to spare. Help me! You don’t want me to drown -- do you? -- in the bottomless void of gloom and despair?” You responded with laughter. You thought I was kidding, -- just some talented actor playing a role. You didn’t see all the misery hidden, like some wonderful treasure, at the depths of my soul... [This message has been edited by Master (07-08-2003 04:21 PM).] |

I swear, you dine on dictionaries and imagination... which is good enough for me. |

You know I love everything you write. I could see and feel this one. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

I recall you from your younger poetic days and shake my head as to how you've grown. You've filled this verse with imagery that jumps out and grabs the reader. Your command of the english language still amazes me after all this time. You've aged well  |

Ruth, thank you very much for the kind words... it means a lot coming from someone who watched me take my first steps in poetry. It's kind of funny to look back at the poetry I've posted in Open #1 and see how far I've come since then. Thank you kindly for your support. Check out my poetry here: |
