'Too Much Time On Your Hands' ~*Marge Tindal*~ Time has a way of Oozing through my skin. Out of reach, yet very Much within me, Underneath the tender Chasms filled with reminders of Heartfelt memories laying just out of Touch with the reality of you. I'm constantly reminded of just why this Meandering mind misses you so much. Evidently I'm out of the picture. Hell, it's Obvious I'm out of film. No need for two-for-one coupons, Yielding prints out of the focus Of you. Undeveloped they Remain,waiting for a photographer with a Heart to reprint All of my features into Negative responses to the Digitized replays of you Saying goodbye. *Inspired by Balladeer - Thank you, my friend. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

~Marge~ An intense acrostic, perfectly penned. I am sure that Balladeer will love this. The photograph theme is very effective, I sadly relate. Poems - rhyme or free-verse, senryus or haikus and even acrostics from you...is there anything that you cannot do? LOL You truly are the master of words, my friend You bring so much variety into these forums and I love it! Take care, Melissa The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

From a simple response to a calendar post and look what you do with it. Superb penning my friend. I wonder what you could do with a response such as.............."Never have time to sleep" hint hint... |

After I read - before I read responses - I thought I could write something pithy - Wrong! Anything witty or adequately complimentary as I would have said it - has been said - (I wanted to say something close to what Doreen said) Anyhow - Yes - take this as effusive thanks and praise - it is how I intend it |

Charisma~ Thank you so very, very much for enjoying this piece. Marsha~ I appreciate the thought you put into your replies, hon. ***To be INSPIRED by another poet is one of the perks of being at this site. Balladeer wrote - quote:I took one line out of that reply and was stirred to write this one. I appreciate the inspiration from all of my friends. Michael, I thank you for this one. *Hugs* and much love. Inspiration is just Too 'Special Passionate pause One on one Eternally grateful To the inspiration from a Really good friend You deserve a *Hug* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Margie girl, you are not going to con me into this one. (No, no, no, ) You have been an inspiration from the very first, and will continue to be one always, but I'm still not going to do it. They are sooooooooo hard for me. I know you think I should shake my tail feathers again, but kid, these aren't easy, and Oooooooohhh don't give me that pouty look, I'll think about it. Okay, but don't nag me! Yea gods, if it's not Kari, it's Paula, and now you. Saints preserve me! As I said I'll think about it Take care love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

I would have replied to this earlier but.... "Time has a way of Oozing through my skin." However, I'm glad I did so I read you telling it like it is....good show Marge! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Marge- You know I love this! Especially this part... "Evidently I'm out of the picture. Hell, it's Obvious I'm out of film. No need for two-for-one coupons" Those lines speak volumes! Isn't it so nice to be inspired by a fellow poet? Wonderful, my friend!
