Please sing to me again of rolling hills, Kentucky fences far as eye can see, Secluded woodland trails; those tales instill Within my soul poetic rhapsody. Please grace me one more time with tenderness Poured out upon the page from grandma’s heart The pride, the joy, unending happiness, The inspiration little ones impart. Please sing again of unrequited love Unanswered questions’ heartache hid within, Of treasured attic moments, mourning dove And of exotic places you have been. Create a masterpiece with poet’s pen Then when you’re done – please do it once again. Denise [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 09-24-2000).] |

Denise~ I have to agree wholeheartedly. I know you can't see it, but I have given you guys standing ovations and begged for encores with every poem that I have read. They just keep getting better and better........ Love Ya! ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

Thank you, Serenity, Balladeer, Chris, Rosebud, Tracie, Terry, Elizabeth, Bonnie and Karilea for reading and for your sweet comments! I'm glad you all liked it! Elizabeth asked me a loooong time ago to write her a sonnet. The thoughts were rolling around in my head for awhile but it all came together, finally, last night! Denise |
