An Ode To Balladeer  Let the waves of his artistry resound through hourglass sands of poetic feat a rich breath of treasure there to be found in his rhyme and verse of gifted elite. Aye, the ink is gilded through his finger one that leads the soul through introspection to swing on his sage branches which linger that he is a painter of perfection. Let his wit enthrall our innermost light regale his height of word and Epopee let his pen enlighten the dark of night and decree the door that unlocks the key. Let not the tides of time erase his voice nor lessen the mighty sword of his quill that our eyes and mind shall sail in rejoice to find love and verity in his spill. He is the master of ballad and sense the inspiration of our hearts revere in confluence within his sapience awestruck in the musings of Balladeer. By Melissa Long-Monette Dedicated to Michael (Balladeer), who is one of the most gifted poets and also a cherished friend!  |

Well, most of that might be true; but we need to ask Toerag for his opinion. |

Hear-hear! A glass is raised in the Bards honor, as well as, to this fine piece of writing. "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

I read this the other day...and was smiling then, as I'm smiling again. He's a great teacher. Teachers need to be old, don't you think?...before we really listen to them?  You did good... He taught well! |
