Challenges to all Poets (do you dare) ok-here are the rules.....take one or all and do as you must but remember only one per post to you this I entrust take this as a gift and challenge to all you poets I admire my little scraps of verses lying around...looking for a home is their desire #1 #2 If and when Pen and quill have come and gone mixed with passions ink and gone is here to taunt makes the poets swill in which we all drink #3 From within this magnolia tree virgin white petals thrust out their purity begging for a moment of sweltering disgrace from caressing rays of warmth upon their face #4 Palms of sweat and eyes of tears anxieties were met easing our fears Mark Bohannan [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 08-15-2000).] |

Done and done, challenge accepted. Tonight when I am home and you all are sleeping I'll try to post a poem that will start you weeping. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

I am weary almost time for bed, reading the challenge I sleepily nod my head Oh but where oh where will I find the time and does the poem has to be in rhyme. I think I will save this for the weekend, thank for this challenge my friend.

Maureen-for you to make me a part of your 1000th post honors me to no end. Your special feeling should come in knowing that your poems and replies have meant so much to all of us and we relish in all those soft hugs you give. I am glad you take the challenge and would love to see all four met. Kethry- If it is tears that you seek from the challenge you take then make it honest and sad and your wish I will not forsake JulieAnn-you have taken the challenge and set new records in doing so. Now let's see you take the others and break some more..( more medals await) Brain-save for when you need it and I will be here....no need for thanks...my thanks comes from your acceptance and honors me deep. |

I want to thank everyone that indulged me in my challenge. I was overwhelmed with all of your support in helping me vent when I needed to. Now there is one more challenge I set before you and it is the most important of all. In the maddening pace that you all picked up on this we sort of made some very beautiful pieces of work go off to the wayside by those not in the challenge...this was not my intent. I ask all of you now to please join me in calling up these wonderful poems and letting them know HONESTLY how much they mean to you. I will be pulling up each and everyone that I can. You all know that I do not give quick reads with generic replies so this is going to take me awhile. I will do my best to get it done and in the best way I can. I invite all of you to do the same and show your respect to all the other poets here as much as you have me and hopefully I was able to do with you. Once again I thank you all and I am left in awe at all the beautiful posts you turned out from my simple verses....you all have touched my heart and I ask that you go and meet a new poet or just visit an old friend......Thank you. |
