An elf of mischief
Sprite of laughter,
believing in the
happy ever after.
She sees the pain in other's write,
defends with poems cute and light.

Of clever wit
her eagle eye,
does not stop
because we cry.
She has learned to act the clown,
bring good cheer to those cast down.

Her blood is mixed
with Cherokee,
her strongest sense
is family.
Her troubles motivate no frown
instead spreads nonsense all around.

But should you need
a wiser word,
then Marge is still
the very bird.
With twinkling dreams and second sight,
she's elf of mischief, laughter's sprite.

Hey if I am going to get into a little mischief then I might as well go with the best now shouldn't I?  She definitely is but she makes it so much fun that we can't resist.  Besides the benefits are so darn GREAT!!!!!!

A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.

So many words can describe our Marge, but I do believe you've caught her "sprite" side... well done Kethry!

Marsha, Sven and Sunshine, Thanks but I only write them as I see them. If the relfection's accurate it's due more to the vividness of the personality than this writer's skill
Be well, you're swell

Kethry~

I do confess~
I'm a mischievous elf-of-self
at best

Much of me
is found in glee
I fly so quickly
to the heart of a friend
I try
I try
I try
and then I try again

I thank you for
your little rhyme
I'm still fluttering
most of the time

As to the remark
about your skill
You've got it going on, girl
and always will !

*Thank you for the capture.

Marge,
that you would allow me to paint you in such a frivolous way gives me honour indeed.

Kethry~

Popping back in
with a bit of a grin
to see what mischief
I can begin

A New Year coming
and I suppose I'm due
to cull a little mischief
to get into

Thanking all the friends
and kindly folk
for their love and sincerity
and THAT'S NO JOKE !

Happy New Year to you ALL !
Love n' hugs
~*Marge*~
