Paint-By-Number Heart ~*Marge Tindal*~ 1-Red 2-Blue 3-Purple 4-White 5-Green You picked out the colors for the love within my heart Painted by the memories we made right from the start And though I didn't know it long before you were through This paint-by-number heart was so in love with you Then the colors faded when your love up and went This paint-by-number heart wasn't worth a cent Red-red roses told me I'd never been so blue As when the purple of your passion changed to a cold white hue And now I'm green with envy at the new love you have found Where's the artist's palette when the artist ain't around Can't hang it in a gallery Can't sell it at the mart I'm left with just the remnants of this paint-by-number heart ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Margie, Margie- WOW...you turn even the most painful words into something so beautiful. I just love when you let your colors show...they don't look faded to me..  'Can't hang it in a gallery Can't sell it at the mart I'm left with just the remnants of this paint-by-number heart' ...and it's one of the most beautiful hearts I've ever seen... I REALLY love this one! love and hugs, ~vicky p.s...was that quick enough? lol "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes |

Marge! you can be so creative! I love the way you worked this one all the way through...the reader won't forget...by the way ... "Where's the artist's pallette ..when the artist ain't around?" great stuff Marge! You'll always have a wonderful artist's word palette to write from ...you'll never be able to help but create from it.....ethome |

Margie girl...this reads like a cry in my beer country song.... I can hear Dwight, Garth, or Travis a wailing this one out... very cool premise and presentation with the color theme as well.. we just love seeing ya play with your poetry  jm Sprayed across my heart and hers Danced butterflies in the wild This angel, this woman , who loves me with the innocence of a child. ~DeVante~ |

Marge... I marvel at how you can take something so sad and turn it into something soooo wonderful. This is absolutely delightful...I love how you "painted" this one with all the colors. It's a gem I will keep. Best |

Where's the artist's palette when the artist ain't around absolutely lovely... Look within the heart of a poet, and you will see a reflection of their soul. |

Marge, this is fantastic, it's creative, it's wonderful and yes I love it, don't I always. (I know I always say that, but that's because I always do) If I'm the Queen of mushy you are the Queen of originality and creativity. Beautiful work, it truly is, Take care Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Lady Marge...what a sad picture you have painted here...but with your lovely flare for words and colour it is still a treat Ignore those who would clip your wings...fly ever upward...even if it means scorched wings |

Marge, This is one of the most original poems I've ever seen! I love it! What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

Hey, Marge, I've got some body paint The kind that you can eat So bring your little self down here And join me in a treat! I'll paint you like a masterpiece Then have you for my lunch Then you can paint me that way, too And set your mouth to "munch"! The meal will be delicious And I promise not to flirt But you might like the main course And I'll LOVE you for dessert! |

 Your paint by number heart is dearly needed As it grows roses of the rainbow each day Upon the gardens of souls that it has seeded I know, because you have touched me that way ==================== My sweet friend, this is so YOU..........if you only knew of your own palette from which you have painted on so many hearts here. I thank the heavens for you every day. Love you much |

I can't say anything that hasn't been said before so I will just stand here and applaud this very original piece (sound of two hands clapping enthusiastically) |
