This Perfect Little Rhyme
~*Marge Tindal*~

I found a little rhyme
I want it to be mine
I looked around
and finally found
the perfect meter
the perfect sound
I was going to share it
but it took so long to snare it
that I'd like to keep it secret
for just a little while
I know you want to hear it
but I just couldn't bear it
if this perfect little poem
ended up showing
up in a brand new book
where folks would take a look
at the tiny perfect thought
that I want to be just mine
So I hope you'll pardon me
if I don't share it willingly
For I really, really love it
I just can't let go of it
For the very life of me
I truly hope you see
I'm just not ready
to set my poem free

Margie, let us have a look
At your little poem for the book
I promise I will close my eyes
I promise not to plagiarize
But now my curiosity
Has really got the best of me
So just e-mail it right to me
My lips are sealed as you can see
(Is this one of those poems about nothing?)

This is sweet, Marge!

A perfect little rhyme
Which caught you just in time.
You wrote something very witty
About a private little ditty.

I loved this, Marge!!

Love and hugs,
Your Lil' Lizzie

So you wrote a little rhyme
never mind if you dont share it in time
For my troubled feelings i've temporarily parted
As this little ditty have amused my heart

COOL

well, Marge, I see your lovely words are as respected and inspiring here as always...what a wonderful way to say:

you have a little secret thought
in no way can be sold or bought
when ready you will gladly share
and post it here with tender care...


just wanted to add "my touch"
