She is sweet like the taste of honey Her poetic words just sail, But somewhere behind her poetic charms hides a love that never fails. Her dreams are soul discovered through the pen of her breast, Where the fire for writing rouses her thoughts of love at best. Then in the terms of rhymers When she spreads her heartfelt wares An appearance grows on the guilded page Beyond her regular cares. Off in the spacious night skies Where she dreams her dreams of wish, The drift of the falling starlight captures her words like a kiss. And she cannot change the yearning Of the Passions in her soul And words that build and gather all mesmerize and grow. You say! just a farmer's wife To work and know no less, Her heritage that of labour years with nothing else be blessed. Awake those eyes turn slowly To these pages of her peers Through the smoke you'll see only deep praises for her here! [This message has been edited by ethome (edited 12-06-2000).] |

Prinny True, this is a beautiful heart warming poem from you about Kethry, I know she will love this one she truly will. Well done P T, absolutely wonderful tribute to her, and she deserves it too. (So do you, but after hers and Paula's I couldn't hope to match it, so I won't ) Utterly fabulous work, I don't need to say I love this because you know full well I do. Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Oh silly me, I forgot to tick the box, which I'll do now. Why don't you send her it in a card, I'm sure she would love it. Take care Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Sis, I didn't miss it, I was unable to reply because I was speechless. It's still wonderful though. Huggle Bunny, do you know how much I love this, Well I do! heaps and heaps. Keth Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |
