You can cry for love
You can shout out loud your fears
Bare your heart in rhyme
Pray the Lord for direction
But, never......ever....cry...wolf ~

Thankyou Karilea & Nancylee - my muse was a tad upset this morning and had to get something off her mind...as well as my own.

"At one glance
I love you
With a thousand hearts."

Great poem!

Chris never cried wolf
she didn't even cry bear
but she cried softly
after all she is human
and she's my hero

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Dearest Interloper. What can I say? Nothing other than thankyou - you whose wisdom and belief make me repeat these words from a song, "So somewhere in my youth, or childhood, I must have done something good."

I waited a bit to respond to your Tanka. It is so well expressed and I love the picture.

I am ready to put an end to this day...and hope that tomorrow brings life and love and hope for us all.

Thank you Chris
