A toy lay on the shelf, forgotten, in The Land of Misbegotten. Cupie Doll, won at the fair-- Tilt--she blinks-- see vacant stare. (child's glory moment, all to see-- his chest a-puff in victory...) First nicks, then lust of crowded shelf-- doll's eye shut tears of rust... pained with stain of misplaced trust... Cupid's Love forgot herself. Tossed behind the prizes new, NEGLECT within the hush of dust-- window cracked-- breeze blew through-- TILT--she blinked a tear, renewed... The boy came home. Discerning eye, counting prizes of his Pride-- INVENTORY of Love's Lies... Had he but turned he would have spied Cupid's Doll, one eye blinked sly... and now she grins a bit too wide... |

Ah, this was so cool. Love the happy ending too. 'Tis true, I think - there's a happy ending out there for us all. Wonderful piece, serenity. Michael |

yes, very cool...and full of perfect imagery and emotions. I love the way you often put the certain emotions and points in parenthesis... (love this poem) (and the sweet poet) (smile) take care, jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

Now this is good... "A toy lay on the shelf, forgotten, in The Land of Misbegotten." Having two houses for all the kids and an RV that's supposed for my wife and me... It's funny how those things get left laying around even in the RV. You wouldn't what to see the houses. *&$#&%#&*^ |
