 Color Our World Coloring our world with his words; Revealing to us a whole new view, Another perspective on life. We Ingest his lines, his phrases; sometimes failing to see the Gentle heart and caring soul that lays beyond. Color my world once more with your words; Open up the doors to my mind; Offer up your gift so that I might see; and Fellow poet, deny me not your truths. Color our world with your words as Only you can. We breathlessly wait for Each new endeavor, every line, every word. Give flight to our minds and to our souls With each thought you put down on paper. Yes, step back if you must, reevaluate your life and your talents, but Return once more to color our world. "I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me , this has always been enough." ~Nicholas Sparks from The Notebook [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 12-30-1999).] |

This is very well written, Ruth, and an excellent acrostic. |

This fool read it Hoot, then fainted so he read it again, after coming round for the second time he found he was speechless and couldn’t reply. Hopefully my little mental walkabout won’t last that long and at the end of it I’ll be a little clearer on what I’m going to do next. Fortunately Ron doesn’t mind non-writers hanging about to read, so I’ll still be around the place making it look untidy. Craig, Coof and Coegwyr (With all this free time not writing I’ve managed to update my site which is one good thing) Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

Exquisite! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |
