When Petals Fall ~*Marge Tindal*~ When petals from the arbor fall floating softly to the ground May they gather fragrance of you ~* in velveted sweet surround Crushed beneath light footsteps releasing memory's recall I will walk among your fragrance ~* when petals from the arbor fall Trailing trellised beauties Roses clinging to the vine enthrall Letting go their sweetness ~* when petals from the arbor fall Gather fragrance while you may Roses bloom beyond the wall Returning on perfumed delight ~* when petals from the arbor fall *Inspired by my wonderful friend Elizabeth Santos .. AGAIN ! * 'I don't know what I'll do when those petals fall.' ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

An inspired piece, I must say, A brilliant poem, I must add, I am humbled and stupefied, I wish to say, I think I should just keep quiet. Marge, this is beatuful and pictureque, I could feel the petals floating, silently, gently... 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 |

Marge - so sweet and smooth - your cousing isn't Suthern (Comfort), is it? This poem is very well constructed. Did you intend this style when you started writing it, or did the stlye come to you as you wrote? That happens to me a lot, so I was wondering if it hits you that way, too. |

Marge, this is lovely! I am so sorry not to have emailed you these couple of days... My email is not working  and I couldn't even get into Passions to tell you before now. I feel so bad but I can't do anything until my email is up. It appears that I can recieve but an error occurs whenever I try to send. As soon as it is up and running again I shall email! Got one in the out box for you already actually! Love ya, mentor of mine! Love and hugs, Lizzie  "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

In the meantime ... I'll just miss ya'. LoneWolf~ Thank you, hon - she's an inspirational sweetie. KitKat~ Well .. heck ! I'm sure glad ! Devina~ Girl .... you were missed. Always glad to see you in the replies. Hope you had FUN ! Walt~ Why, thank you, my friend. Tracie~ Thank you, hon, for letting me know. I think you always have such sweet comments.

Marge!, you've done it again. I thank you for weaving the words and Elizabeth giving you the inspiration. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

Marge, I know you don't need much inspiration, but have you ever wondered what you would NOT have written if you hadn't come here to be inspired by all of these wonderful people! Another well done! Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ |

Sunshine~ Actually, it wouldn't take me long to drum up some exact figures for you ... believe me I do know and am grateful for each little thought that jumped into my inkwell. The inspiration would still have flowered, I think, but it would have been a bouquet of different scents. I LOVE THE INSPIRATION I FIND IN THIS GARDEN. Thanks for your thoughts, dear lady. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Crushed beneath light footsteps releasing memory's recall I will walk among your fragrance ~* when petals from the arbor fall Trailing trellised beauties Roses clinging to the vine enthrall Letting go their sweetness ~* when petals from the arbor fall Gather fragrance while you may Roses bloom beyond the wall Returning on perfumed delight ~* when petals from the arbor fall Marge that was wonderful and beautiful. loved the poem. ------------------------ "I've been too honest with myself I should have lied like everybody else"-Richey Edwards "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time".
