My Favorite Poem [Response to Challenge] My favorite poem has yet to be sung from my heartstrings its not been wrung may be today, perhaps tomorrow will it come through joy, perhaps sorrow? My favorite poem is always your piece for you've done it so much better than me you give me pause, quiet surcease, that's when my words join in harmony. My favorite poem changes every day like children in my heart do play golden haired angels, each one of them speak and I garner a favorite, each and every week. But my most favorite poem has yet to be penned the one that rises above all will come when I read my last poem, and I will close my eyes and whisper "God, let the poets' songs rise." ©KRJ 4 June 2000 Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

well sunshine, I took the lazy way out and just posted a poem. Shame on me. My favorite poem changes every day like children in my heart do play golden haired angels, each one of them speak and I garner a favorite, each and every week. But my most favorite poem has yet to be penned the one that rises above all will come when I read my last poem, and I will close my eyes and whisper "God, let the poets' songs rise." I look forward to all the poems that flow from your pen, I too can't pick a favourite. Loved this one as much as the others. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures.

BEAUTIFUL SUN!!! thank you for writing a new one... not all poets have a fav and not all can pick... and as you say so poetically in this.. sometimes our favorite changes from day to day and the mood we are in. thanks for sharing, love the last verse. jm I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - that I know too much I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling ... If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home cuz there's a little bit of something me... In everything in you. ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

Nicely done, Sunshine. We should all strive to create our "favorite" poem and, in never doing so, continue to strive. On the other hand, any poem that we write with a 100% effort to the best of whatever our abilities are should all qualify as favorite poems. You did great with this subject.......  |

Ellie, you're quite welcome, and thank YOU for reading... Balladeer, this is probably one of the most treasured comments I will ever receive... and yes, I will always continue to strive, for I cannot even conceive that I will have ever done a piece that will be "my best..." and of course, you always keep topping yourself...thank you so much...

Sushine-- now this was a clever and interesting way to answer JM's challenge. A high five to you m'friend! lol. This was an excellent piece of poetry...really flowed together well I think. And you are right... we all should continue to strive and work harder...some of our best poetry has probably yet to be written. take care, amy  "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends."

Distinctly different, bright sunshine. Karilea, this one is ALSO a great one... --- But my most favorite poem has yet to be penned the one that rises above all will come when I read my last poem, and I will close my eyes and whisper "God, let the poets' songs rise." --- Regards, sudhir Hey you, out there in the cold, Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me? Hey you, standing in the aisle, With itchy feet and fading smile, can you feel me? Hey you, don't help them to bury the light. Don't give in without a fight. Hey you, out there on your own, Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me? Hey you, with your ear against the wall, Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home.... by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - The Wall |

Sunshine, Great job with this one. All your poems are works of art; your going to get in trouble soon at Spirituals if we have to come over here to see you. BAD trouble. mm |
