One knows those eyes of yours' had tales to tell none other than a promise not for sale events conspired that I witheld my plea that had been voiced would likely to have failed How strange that over time the things one feels inspire such thoughts as these that they repeat now others' tales are told in your place, go God speed your image as if out to sea and if our paths should cross, perhaps some sign long slumbered may awake yet, even so were this to happen as I dream tonight again I might be tempted still, although your eyes divulged what truth lay hidden there such tales as yours' could bring one to despair |

I wrote a perfectly horrible sonnet about how I wished I'd never shared my words--and I was thisclose to posting it for you, but then I realized the irony.  Once we write them, they are like seed on the wind... I should leave this to the artists like you, and save my craftwork for punchlines only.  (And I followed your pattern, but I still don't get the stresses, and even following the syllable count annoyed me to migraine. I have no idea how you do this stuff.  )But I'm very glad you do.  |

serenity, Sorry about that migraine, yer a doll fer puttin' up with me. Won't bother with how it's done, just that I find working within the constraints of any given form challenges me to rethink and rephrase things using wording that I normally wouldn't.Thanks. Doc Margeherita, Thank you, I'm glad you liked. Doc |

Doc.......I've always thought of your poetry as an inspiration to do better with my own...just as now.  |
