Dark voices sing of lover’s folly Romantics sing a sweeter tune Complex meters in sonnets resound Of moon and spoon and June A simple verse or an intricate form Stand hopefully side by side Hoping the reader will know that it Was written with passion and pride The computer is off, but I still see The words as they flow and ebb These poets and writers convince me that I hear voices on the web |

So true, deVine one. The voices do still linger long after the power is off. Very nicely done..... |

A fitting tribute to both those of your stature and to those of us who still struggle with our words. Really Good! jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Thank you for this tribute. It is wonderfully done, and so very true. PS..thanks for all the help most recently too. I appreciate it. Putting up with me while I'm whiny is not an easy thing to do for most.  Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

Excellent tribute Sharon! The book submissions have been incredible ... I've been trying to move around all the forums and read some submissions from each. It's been tough keeping up with all the wonderful reading lately, but I'm hoping the long weekend will allow some catch-up time! Wonderful poem!Best wishes, /Kit |

Your computer maybe off now while I just switched on, Sighted these words from you as they did really flow, A tribute to one and all you paid, so great, I too hear voices calling out with endearing whispers so low. Thanks a lot Poet deVine for reminding the unimaginable worth of the brilliant line-up of poets and writers we have here at passions.... Regards, Sudhir. Death, be not proud, though some have called thee, Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; - John Donne |

This was not written for submission..but as a thank you note.... I'd like to see EVERY poet get a poem in the book...if that can't happen, then we'll make 'Voices on the Web' the hottest selling book of poetry EVER!!! And the next book will include more and more poems and poets. I feel that being a part of Passions in Poetry is in itself a wonderful thing! We reach so many people, touch so many hearts that we ARE those voices...and people are hearing us!! |

A beautiful poem, these voices taht we hear become part us. Here poems do really live, weep and dance. And this poem speaks wonderfully. "monuments put from pen to paper turns me into a gutless wonder" Manic street preachers |

Sharon, this is great!!! Terrific tribute to all the wonderful people here! Have to say tho, you are in a class of your own... Posting alongside you is a priviledge.
