Desired Measurements Façade of shoals and shawls accoutrements fall sly Below the surface candor of fulfillments eye Much as the oiled hands applied massage and slide Too good for legal-ease sung syrup sweet belied The more and beautiful prevails to recognize Dressed up or down along travails comprise The coral light within that beacons harbor warm Upon the surface with delight as views transform Success is not a dress worn to the prom Its quietness requires nothing more the wearer don The weight its worth attained transcends the gold A real fortune to be shared that bearers hold Dress to impress in noble measurement the sun Allow to rise not compromised those values won The depths of valor shown upon the skin as pearls Predestined shines within each wave that love unfurls Copyright Kkh 9/26/07 |

No matter how often I read this one (and so far, it must've been quite a few times), new meaning seems to seep in. Amazed at your wordplay, too! Pops |

You do make the reader think. Nice TD. JL  Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor. |

Hi TD "Success is not a dress worn to the prom Its quietness requires nothing more the wearer don The weight its worth" Such wisdom you wrap in your always beautiful words. |
