  Simplicity
      
Awaken
with memories
  resting in thought
Stretch into
the light
         of this      
day
Love beating
again..........within
this......................morn
as................................if
all..............................can
see..............................the
one..........................and
the.........................all
of................my
simplicity.

There's nothing simple about this one, Mark, it's lovely. And the ring looks great.

there is nothing simple about you
creative presentation
inspiring thoughts
"simply" cool.
"simply" YOU

Mark
  The ring was awesome. But there is nothing simple about this one.  You know all the obligations that come with giving this ring. We should all hope that it could be as simple as falling in love and living happily ever after.
  But with that said, this was simply awesome as I mentioned earlier.  Your artistic ability is simply outstanding.

Martie-Thank you so much my friend and now you have made me smile.

Karilea-And a what my friend....hmmmm speak up...don't be shy....Thank you for saying all that you always say without saying it.

Kit-Thank you very much and I am glad you found it lovely.

Marge-You too??? well I don't believe that I have ever found you "completely" speechless before.

Marsha-Anytime I can lift a fellow poet then it is my pleasure.

shadow-I think you simply know me too well from that sis of yours.LOL...Thank you lil sis.

Garfield-I thank you so much but let me assure you and everyone else...this is just
a gift of poetry for all poets to share and nothing more....."or is it"?????  Maybe the words alone will tell you.  Yes, I believe they will.

Mark o Mark....

You had me on edge of chair I wondered at first looking at screen if this was some encrypted poetic message (I was on webtv at that time just 2 clarify the point)...

So I moved my lil toosh over to the computer and voila your artistic N poetic talents came thru the screen            

Holy jeepers you got it going...

I am still unable to convey any discernable poetic image in under 500 words!  
A tip of the hat to you, Mark.
This is a great piece.  Visual and poetic beauty!

  Mark....
         What a beautiful piece you did for us here!!  And you say you're not a teacher!!
This is incredible, and a perfect format. Now I know I need to study harder!!


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!
