Vidalia ~ / A thin layer of skin wraps and warps around thee hiding so many other layers of sweet, sweet taste O Vidalia, sweet song of taste in layer upon layer of opaque design by His own hand, forever command all taste buds this luscious, delicious, delightful delicacy Georgian luxuries cannot compete the love complete betwixt mouth and sweetest onion’s skin, a devilment of joy itself, complete union with onion’s ting and bite so raw and sugared just so, wrapped with butter and bread ah sweeter still when whitest flesh hits the heat all sugars come to the forefront and luscious luscious luscious thrills of magic bulbous satisfaction in each face a reaction to heaven’s gift, of you O lovely, lovely, sweet Vidalia we are yet so glad heaven made ya. ////////// \\\\\\ Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 09-28-2000).] |

Hey this reminds me of a country song that is on the charts NOW!!!!! I thought that they were singing of the onion and the town but NOW I know they are singing of DOREEN!!!!!!!  Wow, a better poet to sing about there could not be. You made even the thought of her words taste delicioius. Well penned and such a lovely tribute. |

Karilea - You have defined Doreen perfectly - so many layers, and each a delight, but all of them enough to make a grown man cry. And don't EVEN get me started on the part about peeling them off one by one. I'm just a weak man, yanno! |

Excellent. . . I always knew that Doreen was a multi-faceted, multi-layered person. . . but an onion?? This is great Sunshine. . .  ------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

hey karilea!!! i peeled the layers down on this one and it brought tears to my eyes... lovely writing, my dear friend... how in the heck can you all make all these graphic designs with poetry??? i need quark express, photoshop and illustrator... LOL... and my PowerMac - G4 me? hehe  this is great, really really special and the comments were too much because you were talking about an onion and layering really great images... for all those who responded thinking i'm an onion, i say this... i CAN bring tears to your eyes so don't slice too deep... *wink* nice job, sunshinyone... thank you and oh... btw, i wrote a poem called "layers" also about peeling an onion... and when i find it, i'll drop by here and post the thread... i think they may be companion poems of a sort  luvya! |

LJA, so nice to know how you feel... Sven, we can all come in many forms... doreen, "companion" poems - yes - to be lined up under you, beside you...that is the truest compliment I could ever have, so my thanks go to you for inspiring me all along! 'Deer, I am curtseying - deeply...thank you... hey denise, thanks for coming in! Miss your face! Marge, our spirits do tend to sometimes reside in mysterious places... thanks everyone... Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |
