Clear Spelling Lessons

I use to think
you charmed me
but your spells
are starting
to come
completely undone
listening to your
magical incantations
these mere words
clearly can not
come close to hold me
over and over again
I read each letter
their order confused
unacceptable in use
as things wrap up
and colorful cellophane
looks so beautiful
but still rattles
transparently

"It's ok, you will be alright, it will just take some time." unknown

Yes....it's easily seen through.

Well said.

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

I've been trying to reply to your email but it bounces back. In reply to your query I write--

I see and admire the creativity of your work. Your style is unique, and to me, it stands out from other work at PIP. I do not write like you and perhaps therein lies the reason: I'd like to. The best to you, God bless you. Keep writing!

This is the addy that bounces back--

yep I know this one, wrote one called the whispering wind, different metaphor same emotion, when you stop whispering your wishes for the wind to echo back, the wind is silent, it had nothing real to say...sigh...

This reminded me of something personal to me.

So thanks.
