It’s way past my bedtime I’m sitting here listening to a chime I’m looking at Passions tonight Eyes like a Hoot-owl…oh so wide (not related to Ruth) The names along the list The poem to read I have missed My eyes so heavy aand squinted too I’m without my glasses,..what am I gonna do? I’m looking down the entire guide Slowly my eye lids starting to slide I see your names there tonight as “Dancing Shadows in the Moonlight” Wish you all a good night Forgive me Ruth < !signature--> The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

This, Helmut, is great!!! Why on earth did you apologise!! This is unique and wonderful!!! It brought a smile to my face...I'm sure we can all relate here...  'Writing sharpens life; life enriches writing' Sylvia Plath |

Yea, many of us do dance in the moonlight, sometimes at 3:00 AM, still punching keys. Gave me a smile. Liz |

Can anyone say ... ADDICTED?? As in, me, to Passions, most excellent repository of precious poetic prizes from pens far and wide ... Sigh. Yep, I spend too much time here too. LOL Not that I regret it, mind you ...  --Kess Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |

This is great, no need to apologize! We all know what it is like to be up all night trying to keep our eyes open, reading poetry. Well done! |

Cute poem, now I suggest we all just get poems on tape so we can sleep a little at night!!! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |
