Balladeer came home tired from his day at work All his duties he performed, not one task did he shirk He came home to his lovely wife she looked at him in alarm For his blue eyes were flat and cold, his spirit had lost its charm Oh No thought his lovely wife he must be mad at me I wonder what I could have done, now just what could it be Are you okay, his wife said, is everything alright? Balladeer just sighed and batted blue eyes bright His wife, she snuggled closer, determined now to find What she'd done to Balladeer and what was on his mind She gave a hint of promise, then tried him to endear She smiled at him so coyly, it filled him up with cheer. Balladeer smiled softly, but still said not a word His wife moved to discover why he was acting so absurd She kissed his neck so gently, then she stroked his chin She licked his rounded earlobe, and rubbed his hairy skin Whatever it is I'm sorry, what can I do to make amends? Balladeer breathed slowly he did not want this dream to end. She ran her soothing fingers o'er his body taut then began to make amends, for the crime she knew she wrought She gently, soft caressed him, lit his flame and when she had driven him to the peak, she started once again Now Balladeer lay sated among the tangled sheet "I should come home tired more often, when the outcome is so sweet" "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

I loved this tale. Great poetry. I loved the ending. I wonder why no one replied?  Ronil (The sweet sound of summer sends serenity through my soul searching for that evermore solitude.) |

Kethry-Please accept my apology as I read this earlier and never replied but had intended to and Xeonox, thank you for bumping this as a reminder. This is way cool and a sweet tribute to one so "deer" to us all and yes even us men find him to be a true gentleman. Excellent piece from you...glad I didn't miss my opportunity to reply to it.(my brain is a mess these days as you saw with the tadpole, worm, snail, termite, and such thingy earlier)LOL |

Hey, Kethry, this is a great idea! Normally when I come home full of fire, she has a headache. Maybe, if I'm the one with the headache, I can get a little pampering out of it..now, if only I could find someone to show her how to pamper me....you busy???  |

Balladeer, Busy... Hmmm let me think... If you're at all interested Lohn John is guilty of inciting this one. It was a shared joke that he "bludgeoned" me into turning into a poem. So don't shoot the messenger Ok! Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Suthern, Well LJ can ask... *G* LJA, Thanks for the response. Were you next in the queue? Thanks for reminding me it might not be cause and effect thing here I was thinking it was because think differently from men. Paula thanks, glad it made you laugh out loud. Kethry.

Paula, lolol. I think she may have fixed him something she had preheated. Thanks for bumping this. I thought (hoped) it had gone to the fovever beyond. Keth Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |
