What cause is there to rest chin on hand if life is only a merry-go-dream? Would poets lose fuel for words if sorrow wilted to leave a stalk alone of joy? For life lines the brow and lines the page and torment becomes a call to hope Every gladdened song therefore is brighter still when a tune of loss is sung before Poets strong keep singing words of life guardians in our gardens of death and light 10.12.99 ...the shells upon the warm sands have taken from their own lands the echo of their story...Enya |

Dear Severn, I beg to differ with you on a comment regarding one of my poems, although it was beautifully expressed, But you are the one who has been an inspiration to all of us, at such a young age, to have written such a variety of works, (which incidently, I would like an autographed copy of your first book of poetry). with such maturity and insight well beyond your years. And here is another example. It's great! Liz |

Oh Liz.  I don't know what to say. Except: Thankyou. Everyone can claim to have inspired in their own way, I think - and you HAVE inspired me my friend. [This message has been edited by Severn (edited 12-09-1999).] |

Severn I loved this piece. I especially liked the phrase "if life is only a "merry-go-dream" |

Severn, you are so remarkable and so keenly aware of life and give it such grace and rhythm with words that take my breath. |

Obscure in verse and inspirational as well, a mighty line followed from the first to the last! |

Severn - Again ... such truth in your words. I love merry-go-rounds ... they spin the most fantastic people into our playgrounds. So glad you came to play. I hear you singing ! ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
