This is for the ladies of passion and especially for elizabeth. The wings of essence They are not really wings you know, But an essence of your present flow. Were a little swerve, alerts your nerve With a little sweep, of mild observe. Five little gnomes in your mind. Five little gnomes of human kind. And each one has its own singularity. Each one has a special reality. So don't discard this writing as whim For it's the gnomes that writes your poem. And if I were you I'd hug them each night And love them no matter what they write. Now there are five and that's no pun And I'm going to name them one by one. There is touch, taste, hear, see and smell. And they all live with you, in dwell. Now touch loves tender as his sweet. He shies form hot and too much heat. He thrives on love and passions stuff. Of that he cannot get enough. Now taste is the glutton of the five He can simply eat you alive. He tastes every thing he finds in time He even makes a sandwich of rhyme. Now hearing, he just likes it mellow He shies away from scream and bellow. He likes his hearing a little vexy, It makes him feel oh so sexy. Smell, well smell is a delicate fellow And sometimes that's a peccadillo. But mostly he hangs among the flowers Where he spends hours and hours. Sight is the daintiest of them all. He ever depends on his recall. Of all he's the oddest of the lot He mostly leans on the physical spots. Where would we be without these wings And all the pleasures that they bring. They live in a fourth dimension And a source of sore contention. They feed upon your able of mood For that is the essence of there food. They are the platforms of our lives They even choose our husbands and wives. Well now I'll let you digest the matter To think if I am real or the mad hatter? In a P.S. I have to mention some distant come, Sense of humor, Justice and Decorum, In fact there is no end to the plumb. But that will play on a future drum. |

Sy, This rhyme did surely make me laugh For it is a poem and a half I never knew about the gnomes I hope they're happy in their home Now I know that I have five And they are well and quite alive But I would say my poet friend Has gnomes and pixies of no end There's one who delves into the mind And picks out any word he finds And one that breaks the women's hearts And one who plays a clowning part And a new one we have seen of late Who's notions speak of loving mate And fantsies beyond my experience Which makes the ladies simply delerious And we love his poetry much For a woman he knows how to touch And that is very rare these days He writes it all in special ways Thank you for your inspiration With your poem I am in high elation! Love ya, Liz [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 12-19-1999).] |
