worth is not built on love’s silt or tears spilt lightly (a Burmese Than-Bauk) |

Very good writing, Steaven. I liked it. "Love isn't blind, it just only sees what matters." William Curry |

wicked…thank you…I found this style very challenging…3 lines of 4 syllables with the rhyme scheme flowing from 4th syllable in line one, to 3rd in second, to 2nd in third…glad you liked it ThisDiamond…thank you (as he picks up the bouquet from off the stage) Snow…thank you and thanks for reading and commenting loner…thank you…there are some really deep feelings in this for me garysgirl…thank you very much Krawdad…interesting comment…musical? Perhaps it comes from the idea that this form of poetry should be a clever saying, an axiom, if you will |

(sigh) Oh Steaven, this is most precious wisdom, sweet friend, the silt amounts to nothing, it has to be the nutrients too like those of the soil to make love blossom, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Steaven, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
