Stand Up, Stand up, show your support for Beauty Arise and praise others wonderful poetry Receive their gifts with smiles and grace Flowing rivers of words that fly by apace Touched by the love and roused by desire Breathe in the essence feel the poetic fire Stand up defy those mean spirited few Applaud the life and give poetry its due Our hearts and spirits take wing and soar With poetry in our souls at our very core Released emotions swell like a tidal wave Bringing our souls out of the worlds cave Stand up, declare yourself, be a Poet too Reveal that your spirit is poetically true Touch our poet spirits join our poetic band Lift up your poet voices let love resound Beauty in poetic form stands shining clear Towards a poetic river our boat we steer Stand up, stand up and raise the poetic cry Away with troubled hearts that only sigh Raise our banner and march for our poetry Beauty leads us and our spirits will be free Lifting voices in our poetic battle cries One in spirit and our souls take to the skies Stand up, and sing our poetic anthem, arise Repel those seeking this our poetic prize Return their jealousies with a clever phrase They will soon understand that poetry pays Stand up, stand up let our poetry sing free Arise, come stand up, and defend our poetry Come and Stand Up with ME  Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

A heart of gold, sharing soul, to lift... well done Marsha. Had to look for the reference, but all will be corrected... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Kethry, Thank you muchly, only I was so insensed by what happened to Kit, I had to write it. And if I ever got hold of the little snake I'd hand it over to our trainee surgeons. We don't normally give them live ones, now wouldn't that be justice. Anyway I'm glad you liked it. and I hope Kit does too. Slushy Mushy  Ethome, thank you, I truly do. Do you know I'm really blushing! Honestly. Oh you are picky, I offered you a Physiotherapist, a Pharmacist, how about someone from Radiology? There's a girl that might do for you in there, admittedly she has a slight moustache, but in the right light you don't notice it that much. Which is why I suppose she works in Radiology, they don't have the lights on for very long.  Mushy Kari, thank you muchly. Good, I'm glad I know you'll get it corrected. Take care Majestic Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

You're just too wonderful Marsha ... my goodness, this was absolutely inspirational! Now how on earth can I stay upset when I've got incredible people like you singing with such beautiful poetry. Thank you so much for your encouraging e-mails and thoughts also. I'm feeling much better about it now with all the support. I guess some people just have nothing better to do. This is exceptional Marsha ... penned with such heart and positive warmth ... you're wonderful! Thank you!  Best wishes and much appreciation, /Kit |

Circe, thank you love, if you don't know why I did, go to the Alley. It made me soooooo cross, and I so rarely do anger. Apart from anything else love, it so bad for the spirit. Your poem today is phenomenal, absolutely excellant work. Take care Mushy  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Parker thank you, I must admit that it made me feel rather like sister Anna and her banner, but what the heck. She deserves a stand up piece as I know you will agree. Take care Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Lovebug, thank you, I'm sorry I missed you earlier, I didn't mean too, honestly. I'm very pleased you like this I really am. Kit is such a brilliant poet that I feel rather a fraud gifting her with this. But I was stirred into action and the only action that was open to me was this. So thank you again. 'Deer, thank you muchly, so are you going to bang the drum for us to march to. A drum is always guaranteed to gather the troops. Kit oh love! You are so sweet, you really are. I really did think of offering the little muckworm to the trainee surgeons you know. But maybe a better punishment would be to make the dear soul eat here. I think that is called, all together now one two three.... Poetic Justice Sorry everyone I couldn't resist it.
