Hi everybody...I'm new and have been enjoying all your poems. Seems like this will be a good place to learn a few things about writing. Up until a few months ago I hadn't written poetry for quite a few years. For some reason, my "creative cycle" has kicked in again and I'm enjoying it. Hope you enjoy my submissions. Sweet Hauntings She came to me in a dream last night with whispers from the past Just like so many times before a ghost within my grasp Today her smile still haunts me with such an aching glow She came to me in a dream last night but then she had to go She came to me in a dream last night her voice did seem so real Just like old times she laughed with me oh I can hear her still Today her words still haunt me Like echos from beyond She came to me in a dream last night This morning she was gone. She came to me in a dream last night And ran to my embrace It seemed those bonds shared long ago Would never go to waste Today her vision haunts me Like smoke before my eyes She came to me in a dream last night And then said her 'goodbyes' "HEY, DON'T THROW THAT AWAY, I MIGHT NEED IT SOMEDAY!!!"

terrific! Very glad to welcome you to the family! Look forward to reading more....(my son too is a packrat of sorts---is a bit of a family joke...we test him--"here throw this away" and HE JUST CAN'T DO IT, LOL To him? everything is potential sculpture...he's great but I digress....) Loved your poem. Welcome. |

Very sweet thoughts here. Your writing has wonderful flow like a song being sung in perfect rhythm and harmony. I am looking forward to reading more of your work. Welcome to Passions!! Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

like this, just read your other and liked your style, this is wonderful, makes me wish I dreamed.....course sometimes dreamless sleep is a blessing...but not when dreams inspire writing such as this |

Seems like I'm going to have to add your name to my list of "must reads!" Welcome to Passions! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

I really liked the idea of your poem and the way you put it to words. And I love your name and sig...I, too, can throw nothing away. What if I want to look at it again someday. |

Excellent, excellent piece. It surely could be a song. And your signature could so much be mine. Where can we get the cure? |

I enjoyed this poem Mike. Good job. I only wish my "hauntings" were as sweet. |
