Passions’ Proud Poets

One wrote of how his Lady cried,
one soon wrote her troubled cry
one wrote of her need for blue
then one penned of some things to do

Soon one found her voice again
then she wrote of where, and when
he wrote, wending his thoughts along
soon he lifted their hearts in song

She wrote of anger, and of tears’ sum,
they held to faith, told fear, “begone!”
one wrote of red, come white, come blue,
all penning hope, as only they do

As dust settled, and all saw more
quietly, silently, they’ll even the score
by lifting hearts, souls, and awesome pride
matched only by an ocean’s tide…

So if a poet, in days to come
hears his pounding heart’s patriotic hum
then casts a memory of Passion’s hue
look around…and see, it’s you…

For all picked up their pen to write
their stance so tall, in their unite

~*~
You all continue to make me proud
that you allow me within your ranks

This poem began its life on 9/23/01; then it was reposted on 9/11/02. For some reason, this year, I believe I need to acknowledge that without all of the administrators, moderators, and poets...

Passions wouldn't be here at all. If only the government could take a cue from Ron on how to make a kinder world...

Merry Christmas, my friends!

The government. Hawk and spit.

Other than that I quite enjoyed this fitting tribute to the ones who are possessed to write and post in these hallowed halls. The readers deserve credit also, for if not for them . . .

What a timely keeper this is! One just can't say enough for Ron and the staff that make this place not only possible but a real welcoming home to air our woes and comfort another.

Thank you, Karilia for helping us thank all of you for the benefits you make possible here.

Happy New Year to all!
