Miserable wasn’t the word she’d use more like “your body is hereby refused”. Oh she sorely wanted to pass on away for the pain was unbearable, she’d say. But no, doctors know better, and so came the pills and liquids although she wasn’t sure the pills didn’t make her sicker for she wasn’t getting better any quicker. And in her miseries and doldrums complete she wondered in delirium as her heart pound if she would leave life without a whimper, not make a sound would anyone miss her around town? Then, in her medicinal haze, a poem started up, but she wondered as she gazed at her tea in a cup where would I put this for anyone to critique? Indeed life for her felt miserably bleak. She barely could recall That she had the gall To write poetry before and nail it on Passions door. For a week had gone by and she couldn’t sit at her computer and gaze at the wit of Passion’s connoisseurs of writ; and that bothered her quite a bit. But now she’s back and ready to spout words and poems and prose and shout “Lookout world, Sunshine’s returned here” And she’ll even take on Balladeer! 05 Aug 99 ------------------ © KRJ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 08-05-99).] |

Sorry - I didn't know you were away - since I was pretty much out of con-net-ion myself...... Well, then... I hear grumblings of a challenge here... Face it with a grin - Smilers never lose, And frowners never win...."  [This message has been edited by Nan (edited 08-05-99).] |

Thanks, Ohme, for the prompting and yes, I'm much better now...at least, back in the land of the living. And Nan, I've missed you too...just didn't know it until I came back to the forum. Did wonder during deliriums whether or not I'd be missed overall...but with so many fantastic poets here, I sincerely doubt it! Ah, I must persevere! Thanks for the icon!
