Sinking Love's loser adrift Needful of a change in ships This one is sinking Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Acutely felt Jamie...I've tried to do these little beauties and just can't get the hang of them...tis why I appreciate the poets that capture so much with so little. Great work~ |

You speak volumes here. Keep up the great work!! LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Wonderful, you said so much in those few words. Are there any lifeboats? Linda M. p.s. How did you get so many responses in such a short time? Has this poem been moved from another forum? |
