. Ah Ed This lust for verse Is one we can ill afford Being enthralled To lyrical words And in the end It will prove absurd We wasted our precious time Still given it’s true All lives are due To close without notice Respect regard or amplitude We might as well Die in rhyme . |

Wow, just wow....I think that would be my truest reaction to this one. Thank you John, truly. I have a policy that when I'm speechless, I shouldn't make a speech...but when I'm a poet I do make poems, so /pip/Forum103/HTML/001624.html ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

And I have heard so many... the only good ones are those who know their subject well, and you do, you do. It's well to remember tho, just as one person is many people in different guises, so perhaps is your subject. Enjoyed both poems. |

We might as well Die in rhyme Aye... *S* For to give it up, we'd die inside even if our bodies stayed upright. Excellent! |

How lovely this is, and makes a brilliant duet with Ed's piece. I really enjoyed both and seeing the two of you interact with the amazing talent you both possess. Bravo! Caroline He who wants a rose must respect the thorn. |
