I could extol your beauty All your luscious curves Or your body's fleetness How my attention swerves I could rave about how sudden The plains dip into valleys Or rise to mounds of sweetness Where my tongue wants to sally I could moan about chemistry That melts us like hot wax Bringing forth the nectar And our fever to the max But no such words can carry The weight of meaning in your eyes Or why I chose to tarry Near your door plying my sighs For I find in your sincerity The truth I can depend on In your thoughts a total honesty I could go on and on Analyzing to the essence It's a comfort level thing When I'm with you feel no stresses It's serenity you bring ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

there are so many cool lines in this poem ... I just had to smile ... =========================== I could extol your beauty All your luscious curves Or your body's fleetness How my attention swerves ========================= Or rise to mounds of sweetness Where my tongue wants to sally I could moan about chemistry That melts us like hot wax Bringing forth the nectar And our fever to the max ========================== Or why I chose to tarry Near your door plying my sighs ================== Analyzing to the essence It's a comfort level thing When I'm with you feel no stresses It's serenity you bring ================== this is such a cool poem... its rhyme is like melted butter the cadence is as well but its the layed back no so subtle sensuality of it mixed with the vocab and phrasing ... it all works together to make for a sincere genuine COOL poem ... (did I mention how cool it is) LOL my vocabulary hasnt had its coffee yet... forgive the lack of poetic proper words.. just know i dig this poem "sally" on now *smile* later-like the way you write gator jm |

Seraphin- I'm so pleased you liked - your poetry pleases me just as much Dark Angel- Not half as lovely as your poetry or your picture Thank you Spitfire - I'm not always so "classy" - sometimes my emotions get the better of me ~G~ - Thank you Serenity- I must confess _ I began this poem some time before I joined this forum - so - I didn't even know (of) you then - but by all means - take it - and you too are lovely ~S~ Thank you for the too kind words Liz - Thank you for giving me the 'seed' (title) for my next poem (Sincerity) I hope I do it justice. (and I agree - sincerity is a priority word with me as well) Thank you again Kethry- So - I need another laugh - right? but I got the 'sigh' Ok - I'll work on it ~G~ Thank you Nan- I'm just corny enough to admit one of my favorite songs has the lines: "Could I have this dance - for the rest of my life ..." Thanks Nan Janet Marie- As you read me and speak well of my words - I too read and learn of you - I believe you and Green Eyes have something in common - both having lost a love you treasure the memory of. You may not have anything else to share, but a reading of her poetry may please you (She and I are friends and go back a couple years to another forum) Thank You I'll try to remain kewl as I sally forth ~G~ |

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ... Oh, I love this. What a wonderful way to start my day -- with a warm, little dancing feeling in my stomach. Beautiful, sensual, and so sweet. Billy, all sonnets, odes, and poems of ardor are your crowning talent... but this is my very favorite. Bravo. |

Serenity...just a dream of chances as you dare the stance of trances-- serenity--a moment's passing..... serene to be a lifetime, laughing..... (she whispers) and you feel so real... bemoaning moment, makes you feel everything you've known... *wink* |

Serenity - I'm Blessed with 3 Replies. Woo Hoo for such munificance I'll humor you any time! Your poetry is beautiful and deserves its own posting. - but let me add you don't want to feel ALL I'm feeling (I'm 68 ~G~) Mark- Your words are always a lift to my spirits - as for serenity - I've seen neither Tea nor Table but you've made me smile Marcie/grandiloquent- Now when one of your talent compliments me - I'm doubly humbled - THank you sooo much Martie- well the last two verses HAD to be there - they address the title of the poem but based on your comments I now know for sure where I should go with future efforts. (and you know - how much I appreciate your replies and your posts) ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

this is lovely, WY this reminds me somewhat of some sonnets -- not in form, since the form is definitely not a sonnet form, but in the tradition of posing a task/problem/hypothesis in the begining with the "I could...." stanzas, and then presenting a resolution of sorts with the rest of the poem (like, from "but..." on down) hmmmmmmm not sure I'm making sense LOL |

I'm not used to being deluged with replies - as this piece of mine seems to have engendered - you three - I'll sally on - I'm a python fan too are you suggesting a sonnet frm rewrite? I'm intrigued - and may try it - I DO see what you mean and thank you all |

is it ok if I say that sometimes I'm rendered speechless, and leave it at that? |
