The words were there, yes, all this time All tucked in tight with beat and rhyme Asleep so sound so deep within With covers pulled up to the chin They slumbered there quite undisturbed So peaceful there quite unperturbed What bid them wake I can not say But what a joy to see them play... Ev'ry single vowel and homonym Ev'ry consonant and synonym Ev'ry single verb and ev'ry noun How I love to see them tease and clown And dance about with beat and rhyme I pray they play for a very long time.  ------------------ Denise |

Denise this made me think of not being able to write anything, thinking and just not coming up with anything. Then going to bed and just as your dozing off, guess what pops into the ol' head? A poem, now you gotta get up and write it down. This gave me some giggles...thanks! |

Denise - This is delightful. To not dream, frightful. What a pleasant scheme, to find within a dream. ~Marge~ ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Fantastical piece, Denise! I'd rhyme up a reply, but can't quite seem to do it now. |

Still enjoyable, Denise!  (hehe-can't get enough of this little rolling smily!)Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |

The poetry mood strikes at whim - and one has to obey, even at 4am when you have to get up at 7am, or in the supermarket queue anywhere, any time and we are helpless to refuse Smile - words are maddening creatures aren't they Denise?! K |

Romantic, sad, longing, comical, devotional.....you've got a lot of people in that body of yours, Denise, and they're all wonderful. To the world you might be just one person but to one person you might just be the world. |

Well that explains the fix I'm in There's quite a crowd beneath my skin I feel I'm burstin' at the seams I even find them in my dreams Some whine, some cry, some sigh, some shove Some sweetly sing like a turtle dove So many voices want their say I hope they never go away Thanks Balladeer, you always say the nicest things!
