The last poem I write Before falls the night I want to remember in my dreams Sunshine That falls on my shoulders And warms the summer loon's back Running through fields barefoot and carefree Let the rain of tranquility pour down on my face And sprinkle my cheeks! Oh, let my last poem be lasting Into the cold winter darkness Awaiting summer's splendors I'll impatiently sit Writing fridgedly in the wrath of the season Let this be the last poem I write Before falls the calling night!

Don't worry! This will NOT be the last poem I write. I was saying it would be the last poem I write before the day ends! Thank you all for your compliments to my poem! JOY |

I'm glad this wasn't the last one you wrote.. Very well done.. MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU, MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND Irish Blessing |

Hi! Wow! I've been wandering in and out of the Pub, busy with school. And I came lately to see a whole bunch of my poems in the last day pages. Wrote these it seems to be so long ago. It's nice to see them all again, like old friends. A lot of Little Spyro's are here too. When is that little dragon commin' back? I miss him! Thanks Broken Winged Angel. You're the one replying to 'em all. And being too too kind! ![]() Bye. Joy |
