this is for BWA...for similar taste in tea

for Bestgirl911 and Lady Noggins....who weather they kow it or not...helped craft the images in my mind...

and especially for Rebecca...whose way with words is so opposite of mine....which at times...has made me laugh....and cry...wondering what exactly she's feeling....

Sol

The God of Poetry and I
sat to chit-chat for a while
see, I longed for cheap improvement,
thought I'd mooch off of His style

" So how do you like this world of Mine?"
was His question posed to me
and after a sip of honeyed mint,
I let my tongue run free

I talked of rings, and secret things
and barbed wire birdies in the sky
He sat in place, and watched my face
and would smile once in a while

I talked of love, of friend and foe
prattled on 'bout dark and light
of how the sky mates with the sea
beneath a sunset bright

I rhymed and chanted, omn and on
of every colored hue,
of time and space, and cruel two-faced
people that I 'knew'

Endless I narrated
the coming of the dawn
and how the dew on spider's web
held the captive wide-eyed fawn

And when , at last, my words were gone
and the tea and cookies too
with smiling face, and a touch of grace
He said " Thanks, I like it too."

SS,

             I talked of love, of friend and foe
             prattled on 'bout dark and light
             of how the sky mates with the sea
             beneath a sunset bright

This is beautiful!

This almost had the style of a ballad, I really enjoyed this one.

over the rain-green grass,
and the sun drips honey.""

Oh my..* blushes and smiles profusly * (is that spelled correctly??)

Um..I am extremely pleased that the bit of rhyme and sillyness has touched everyone in such a way...I am glad now that I stopped working ( I am a meter reader for the power company ) and wrote this down...

You are all such sincerely nice people...

I am glad to share with all of you...

Love it!

This is truly an enjoyable read, Sol. I can imagine God's reacting in just such a way as we prattle on about what He already knows. I'd like to have been sitting at that table listening.
