This is the second sonnet that I wrote. Balladeer was the inspiration for it. Thanks for the inspiration, Balladeer! The poet nightly sits with pen in hand And contemplates the fleeting years of life The hourglass has nearly drained of sand Each grain within can tell a joy or strife. The labor’s long to give each one a name To wrest some wisdom from experience Too often phrases tend to play the same Old tired tunes from aging instruments. Undaunted by the fierceness of this fight The bard within refuses yet to die The struggle rages well into the night Impassioned soul screams loud the battle-cry. Another victory is sung again As honey flows forth from the poet’s pen. 11/99 [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 04-24-2000).] |

Denise, you been peeking in my window at night?? hehe. To be any inspiration to you at all is a great reward but to be one for such a beautiful poem as this brings a warm smile to my face and gladness to my heart. I thank you, Denise. You are very special to me and to all of us. Whatever the inspiration, keep on writing! |

You write so well I wish that I can write just as good as you do some day. At night is when I do tend to write the days experiences. Great reading |

Denise~ You write with inspiration from a man that I greatly admire also. You certainly did him justice. He is vigilant, is he not? A finely tuned sonnet. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
