I’m a caring woman With an angel’s face But my lonely heart Has an empty space I’ve nearly given up Said, “What’s the use?” For where can a poet Find herself a muse? I’m looking for friendship, Trust, and romance Someone who cares, That will take a chance I enjoy quiet walks, Sunsets, forests, and streams I’m searching for someone To share all my dreams I like slow dancing, Hugs, candles and wine But I don’t like games So don’t feed me a line A brain is a must And personality too! Honesty and compassion Does this sound like you? If you think that maybe You’re the one for me Just drop me a line And we both shall see Have you ever noticed That the words... "Goodbye" "I'm sorry" "I love you" Are so easy to pronounce ...Yet so hard to say ~Javan |

Hoot, this is a nice poem. I suspect your mailbox will be filled with those willing to take a chance. (what kind of wine?) Except, you forgot the address...... I really like your poetic imagination! Danny |

Dear Ms Hoot, I'm answering The ad you desperately writ. I think there is a chance for you If you'll lower your sights a bit. I know you have been searching, For yourself a muse. I don't know much about that, I haven't got a single clue. I see you need some friendship, Would like trust and romance I'll give you lots of some of that When I get inside your pants. I'll give you lots of quiet walks, You'll see sunsets, forests, and streams. But if there's football on TV, You haven't got a dream. I'm really good at dancing slow, Except when it comes to truth. Then I dance all around it girl, Like I have since my youth. Hugs, candles and lots of wine Are the things that I adore. I don't like games, either, Baby (Have I told her that before???) I have a brain, you can trust me Its as good as when brand new. I keep it like that all the time, Because its hardly ever used. Personality is my middle name, Honesty and compassion are, too. I am a saint with shiny halo (I think a one night stand will do) I'm thinking that just maybe, You should give me a good lay, Then you can tell me how great I am, Before I slip away. |

Hoot, I think Mr. Cucumber is giving you a hint of what to avoid. Be wary of all vegetables with slick lines. Now where’s your knife. |

When I was a teenager, I had a beach towel with a "want ad" on it, and did it ever get me in trouble...had to leave the beach a few times when the drunken sailors got a look at it..LOL...I think you wrote a better ad than my towel btw, I'd ignore Mr. Cucumbers reply...you know how green and slimy they are when they get "peeled". |

suthern...I'm sure I'd have no problem at all writing one for you and totally based on fact Denise...thank you Rainbow Girl....Medicinal purposes only, I understand...perhaps my being a nurse will come in handy there ....thanks Mr. Cucumber...you certainly are a slick one boy...your poem sounds like an ad for exactly what I DON'T want in a man....thanks for the smile and the cleverness of your reply Haleyja...he doesn't stand a chance thank youinfinat3 sadn3ss...as I said before, different is not a bad thing....thanks for the compliment Lorelei54...LOL, thanks Hon...I'll be sure to keep your advice in mind Corinne...I can't think of a higher compliment you could have paid my work...thank you a sandgrain...thank you Wizzard...what more could a girl ask for? Dancings not a problem, I prefer slow dancing in private anyway...and I'm glad you lack Mr. Cucumbers sense of romance Thank you for the beautiful rose. |

I think it is appropriate now to reply For the first time We know each other's rhyme and poetry We know each other's way to destiny We know a lot about each other's pain We stand together enduring the rain We hold on to our hearts You in words and I in art Today I heard a chime For the first time I listened to your voice Know that I will always be here I am yours Truly The chevalier The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

This is great, hoot! Perhaps a new challenge for each of us- we can turn Ron's forum into a "want ad" place (teasing, ya know) Interesting to see your replies. I wonder how everyone would write up their obituaries, umm, I mean, "personal ads" cute, cute idea! |

A very tender request from a very classy lady. I too am pulling for you, I wish I would've looked for those qualities too before I married. Don't ever lower your standards for anyone, anything less would surely sacrifice the quality that is you. Best wishes in your search. |

HMMMMMMMM..... (Scratches head...) (Looks at wife....Looks at you....) (Scratches head...) Can I have a bit to decide what to do about her? Just kidding Ruth. If not for the love in my life already, I would definitely be filling you mailbox with requests. Love the poem. Chris. p.s. taking off on January's challenge for an obit. I'm thinking it a little diffucult to imagine one's self dead and what could be said about your life. Interesting idea I think...maybe we should all try it. Thanks again for the great read. Chris. Never be a carbon copy of anybody...make your own impressions. - ANON. |

What man wouldn't answer an ad from such a beautiful poet? Looks like they're lining up. Hoot, you should have thought of this before. Now all the women poets are going to follow your lead. Anyway, lovely poem Liz |

I think that is the ultimate search in life. Just finding that special someone that makes us whole. We always say that we are fine on our own, but our bodies were not made to go solo. Good luck to ya. Chris Blue Moon |

Dear Ruth, good luck with you ad, hope you find a sensitive, funny,slow dancing, cuddly poet who is perfect for you. Cos YOU DESERVE IT!!! I'm lucky to have my muse in Sven, though we will probably never meet, we are always there for each other, and that is enough. (HUGS) my friend and thanks May the world hug you today, With it's warmth and love. I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart, That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world, Wishing you well and wishing you love...... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
