Cameron has a broken heart
while Mark's is high on love.
White Dove's inspiration
comes from the Lord above.
Long John's kicking kitties
while X Angel aims at men.
In amongst the riot
is the romantic soul of Sven.
Pandora searches for Long John
to bury him in kitty litter.
Maureen happily looks forward,
not one to remain bitter.
Melissa's mastered haikus
and Sudhir's perfected the art.
Auguste opens up his soul
and shows us all his heart.
Kethry's poem on navel lint
really was a scream.
Wilfred and his sonnets
sets every girl to dream.
JM will keep posting
when the warden's out of sight.
Butterflies will always send us
into raptures of delight.
Brian's in all our hearts,
him and his sweet lady friend.
May God give them the strength
not to break, just to bend.
Last but by no means least
comes our patron, Ron,
who generously gives his pages
for us to write upon.
So many poets here
their hopes and dreams to share,
but most of all they show us
how much they really care.

This is my thank you to Passions, but do you know who I am?

yeppers.... I believe I do ...thanks for the mention, but then again maybe not. MMMM let me think about it a bit.

Style, pattern and cadence of course "color"....well about 90% sure.

Now of course what would you expect a cowboy to say....

Mark, color can be like a rainbow. You see something but if you try to touch - it dissappears.

X Angel,
Its good to have some fun
(that LJ deserves it too)
We all need a smile, so
keep doin' what you do.
(Just watch out for heartburn)

Pandora, its not how often you're here, its the impression you leave behind.

A great poem - and I am flattered to be mentioned - but I must say this - one of the more significant reasons I 'joined" this forum was the confidence that there would be NO anon posters - i'm forced to believe ayou must be a moderator - taking unfair advantage of priviledge

Mark, I'm not big on feathers, sorry. Insects aren't my thing, either.

Wilfred, This Anon is a once off for me. Thought it would be fun for all. And no I'm not a moderator.

Denise, hit me with your best shot!

Kat, I haven't read that one, maybe I should.

This was a great tribute to the peots here at passions, those you mentioned anyway. You have everyone wondering who you are. Some think they know. Why don't you unveil yourself. I'm just so curious. They say curiosity killed the cat, and this is one cat who's dying of curiosity.

OK guys I've had my fun. Thank you all for joining in.

With this poem
I’ve had a ball,
but the time has come
to tell you all.
First I’ll say
about my jest,
I think you are
the very best.
So now I have to
drop a name,
and put an end
to my game.
Thanks to those
Who played with me,
I wish you the best,
Your new friend, Dee

Dee, sorry I missed the guessing.
first I guessed Isis then I did guess it was you simply because of the naval lint thing. However I did get a lot of cryptic emails that I now understand. thanks for that. And thanks for the post. i really enjoyed the style of it.

Thank you Dee
for mentioning me..
I held off on replying this way

I was trying to guess
And I felt such duress
That I gave up and read other's say

Believe me I thought
it was another that wrought
these words of such fun, what a treat

Now that you've exposed
who you are, I've proposed
A toast to a poet thats "sweet".

Thank you again...it did tax my mind yesterday and I had to take a peek to see if anyone had guessed by this morning

I thought that I would ne'er see
A poet as Anonymous as thee
But when I read that you had mentioned me
I would have ne'er thought that it could be Dee!

To be mentioned in this poem so sweet
Shows me that you've done quite a feat
As I read it here in this seat
I thought that it was really neat!

So to you Dee, I write these lines
And thank you my friend for a poem so fine.

Thanks Dee for mentioning me. . . I consider it an honor to be included among such company. . . this is great!!!
