Well, I gave this a try. However, some of the parameters really don't fit who I am, so much of this is just pulled from the far reaches of a pretend imagination. In other words, much is not true of me, just a grasping at thoughts to fulfill the opening phrase provided. There's my disclaimer. I Am Virginia Salter I am silliness and seriousness of word I wonder how far the universe reaches and what is beyond I hear rice paper calling me I see snowflakes drift past my longings I want to bring smiles and tears to touch your hearts I am silliness and seriousness of word I pretend to be strong...sometimes I feel like garlic in an orchid garden I touch velvet petals in the wind I worry about losing loved ones I cry when someone’s heart is touched by loss I am silliness and seriousness of word I understand I am loved unconditionally I say I am loved unconditionally I dream of writing uplifting and healing thoughts I try to stay just healthy enough I hope I make right choices and follow my true path I am silliness and seriousness of word © January 4, 2001 |

Virginia...maybe you should read again...I think you wrote a "universal" piece here...either that, or somebody was telling you to describe ME. Very well done! And now, if you'll excuse me? I think I hear rice paper calling me....grin... |

Virginia, did you look in the mirror before writing this, I think you captured elements of you very well. Good write. Write on Keth Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Somehow I've seen more seriousness in you....I believe this challenge was well met in your words... |

VAS~ You did an excellent job of mirroring someone - I think she might come closer to you than you realize at first glance. Wonderfully written. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
