'Ollie, Ollie Oxen' ~*Marge Tindal*~ Within this day I hope to find words words words on my mind I seek they hide thus I try to find words words words within my mind They hide I seek for just a peek at words words words on my mind 'Come out ! Come out ! Wherever you are Ollie, Ollie Oxen all home free !' There you are you little rascals ! ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge - do you know what would be really neat??? If that rascally loss of words could be bestowed on another person at any time then, when lil Lorelei says, "Can I ask you a question!?", I could use this little gift to get myself out of the doghouse - heh heh I like the light-hearted approach you took with this poem. You stayed with the same theme throughout, and that holds it together so well. |

Kit~ Yes, she was playful - but I found her ! Thank you. Elizabeth~ LOL ! You know me better than that ! ! I think you were the stewardess on the plane that MarkB~ and I were on last night ... One word leads to 'A Thousand Words'.  Love ya' LongJohn~ Nice try guy ! I don't think so !  I can see you in the 'doghouse' ... it's those 'cat houses' you'd better stay away from ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Hi Marge, You wonderfully silly girl, I see a bunch of poets, running around every where looking for something and I am very creative when it comes to picturing what people look like HEHE. Awesome poetry. Love, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

Marge you hunt they hide, but as soon as you turn your head away there they are waiting. Loved the playfulness in this.And those words nestle around you like bees to a flower.

Cerenity~ Thank you. Glad it gave you a chuckle. Kethy~ Awww ! Thank you. Juliet~ Glad to get the HUG ! Yep, I got 'em cornered - or is it the other way around ? Sudhir~ You're a love to say so ! Michael~ Oh, boy ! By now you've checked your e-mail and found two little muses from my lease/loan program waiting eagerly to keep you up nights ! Marsha~ Those little muses are laughing at me from every corner. Thank you. AliCat~ Your reply sent me into obscurity ! Tee-Hee-Hee ! Check the date and time of your response ! You responded BEFORE I wrote it ! Luv it ! Ron got the critter that was running loose. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Marge- that was some flight last night wasnt it? Imagine me on the same plane as you and Liz.....now I know that I am doing something right. I must be growing and not knowing it. lololol....wonderful verse sweet poet friend. Where ever shall the return trip take us? I love flying first class and what other class could it have been if Liz and YOU were aboard. I feel so special now. |

I seem to be the opposite I hide but the words always find me I try to concentrate on other matters ... to no avail I force my attention to other thoughts ... only to end up miserable I have countless unfinished poems ... new thoughts always invade the pictures I can stop posting ... but I can't stop the words from haunting me ........ |
