The Golden Poet He lays before him empty page And golden pen, its nemesis And looks within the depth of soul And thus, the golden genesis Beginnings of a lovely verse With spirit's pour and poet's think Then he at last with pen in hand Scrolls the page with golden ink He wields the pen as sword of steel Swift and sure in verse divine And pulls the words from mother lode The deepest canyon of his mind With gentle hand he softly lays Powdered phrase upon the page And writes a verse so beauteous To last the world from age to age Elizabeth Santos (Then he posts it on the Passionate Forum) |

Sorry, Miss Severn These names are a mess Can't tell one from the other Or sister from brother I'll unravel the mess Change poet to poetess Take out the he And put in a she All this time I thought you were a guy! Better start checking people's resumes Your female friend, Elizabeth |

Elizabeth, A golden poet is quite rare Himself he never thinks as heir. He searches for that golden verse, With words within his common purse. |

Powdered phrase upon the page--oh my, I do love that line. My name may be Martie but I'm a girl Martie, not a guy Marty. |

I'd settle for Silver or even Bronze ... if this praise could go on and on. I wanna GO FOR THE GOLD ! No holding back ! Being a HE is all I lack. Powdered stuff upon my face ... so bold, Do you think I qualify for GOLD ? (Careful with your answer) Elizabeth - Thanks for calling today. I enjoyed our talk very much. ~Marge~ ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Robert, So glad you enjoyed it and thank you, kind poet Elizabeth Marge, Medals come in varied sorts Some with ribbons of red and blue Some in gold and silver and bronze And then there's tin and aluminum, too And then there's Cracker Jacks rewards And then there's happy meals, I think That have a lovely little prize Would you settle for a "shrinky dink'? Sorry, Marge, couldn't resist You were begging for it Your friend, I think Elizabeth |

Marge, The truth is that I must confess You are the golden poetess Not only the beauty of your lines But the beauty of the subjects you define The beauty of the love you send afar And the beauty of the person that you are You are the GOLDEN GIRL The golden nugget of the passionate forum Love ya Elizabeth |

Severn What is a roflmao? I don't get it But I have a hard time decifering things I think my gender error is going to expose a lot of surprises in the forum, cause of these darn poet names. My name is Elizabeth and so I call myself Elizabeth. It's simple self explanatory, easy to remember, forthright, and .... I happen to like my name.What else would I call myself cooingdove instantpoet dontlookatme idontgetit I think I'll stick with Liz But I do apologize for the error So what is roflmao? Liz |

My server was playing tricks on me, or I'd have gotten back to thee. Quick I am and you know it ... Okay, Lizzie don't you blow it ! I could just go on and on .... come to think of it .... I HAVE, HAVEN'T I ? ![]() Thank you for the glowing remarks ... I'm so bright ... I glow in the dark ! ![]() ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
