She makes a loop at the end of a word, Pulls it tight on her rhyming needle. Then Liz takes some words from her head and loops them over her thumb, she then dips her needle into meter and makes me feel quite dumb. As she pulls the line neatly in stitch. And she continues until a poem starts to take shape She'll post three today and I think There's no way I can do better than this! [This message has been edited by bboog (edited 04-21-2000).] |

Dear Bboog, If you don't mind, let me take the liberty of rewriting your lovely poem about me. This is how I woould have written it. At the end of a word She fashions a loop On a needle of rhyme Makes a hoop-dee-hoop Then over her thumb With a little meter Dips her needle And pulls it neater She makes my fingers Shiver with itch As she pulls that line To a metered stitch And my fingers develop A poet’s urge As the rhyming verse Begins to emerge Then she does a spell check Around every loop Cause she’s petrified Of getting B-booged! Thanks for thinking of me Hugs Liz [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 04-21-2000).] |

bboog, I think this is EXACTLY how she performs her art, despite her contradiction! |

She sure knows how to weave her words together, that's for sure! Great poems, both of you! Denise |

Claire~ Liz is certainly a talented writer and the only person I know who is able to whip a poem out of thin air and rhyme it with bboog! best regards, bboog |
