Oh what a challenge, and it was too hard for me it really was. I'll seek retribution dear heart you'll see  Teardrops The Rain Of The Soul Each teardrop is the rain of the soul Each teardrop is the rain of the soul When hearts break not remain whole, remain whole When hearts break not remain whole, remain whole Each heart breaks rains tears in the soul When souls’ teardrops remain whole Catch the silently falling tears Catch the silently falling tears When truth dies and love disappears, love disappears When truth dies and love disappears, love disappears Falling tears when love disappears When truth dies silently fall tears Teach the heart to sing again Teach the heart to sing again Once its ready to release the pain, release the pain Once its ready to release the pain, release the pain Teach the heart to release pain Once it’s ready to sing again Catch the falling teardrops of the soul When truth and hearts are full of rain Love disappears and hearts are not whole Teach the soul to sing once again When silently falling tears disappear Love will sing released from tears Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Slushy, Mushy, I knew you could do this standing on your ear (probably so I couldn't poke the words in) and you went beyond even what I expected! Superb. write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Kari love, yes it is you slave driver you! It took ages, well, about an hour anyway, and I had no idea even after I'd done it if it was right. It's like a Chinese puzzel, yea Gods dear heart you don't expect more work surely. I enjoy reading them but NOT to work on them. And anyway I've got a note of excuse (or I will have after I've written it) Take care love Majestic stretched Marsha Poeminister, thank you so very much, but don't say that, Kari will think I can do more. Take care love Mushy Paula love, oh you are soooooo sweet, and such a fibber, all I can say is I did it, and now I don't have to again. (Thank you so very much love) Take care love Mushy Sven love, you too dear heart? Please I have a....... well, actually I don't know what I have as an excuse but I promise it will be a good one. And who do I have to bribe so I don't have to produce another one. Can't I leave the hard stuff to you professionals, pretty please ? !! I'm only an amateur (if i give you my best smile will that work? or do I have to offer more? All youngsters please ignore this attempt on my part at bribery and corruption)Thank you love Take care Mushy Marsha exits stage right looking for 'more' for Sven. Or I would but there's a few more replies to do. But as soon as I finish I'll go and find it xx Kethry dear heart, it's no use you thinking I'll not plot revenge, because you know by now I've returned a challenge. And I know you won't be able too love. (I shall be cock a hoop!) thank you love, and as i said not an ounce of mercy love. Na na na na naaaa  Take care love Slushy YES!!!!! Pepper love, you too, this was like torture, it's soooooooo hard. It really is, a stretch is one thing this was hard work love. It truly was. Thank you anyway, you traitor you, don't say that it was good, I'll be expected to do this again!! Take care love Mushy Doreen love, I did the first thing that came into my head, I wasn't going to wait for any more ideas to come that were happy love. I might have been there for another hour. And I didn't have that long a break. Thank you love it is appreciated. Undeserved but appreciated. Take care love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Well you passed me up in your growth because these still escape me and you should not make it your last as your first one was wonderful. [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 01-18-2001).] |

Mark my friend, they totally escape me, this is as far as I'm concerned my swan song of Pararella do do. They are sheer hard work, never my favourite occupation. And I only did this because if I didn't Kethry threatened me with ear poking. Since I have never had it happen I'm almost certain it would involve something unpleasant. But I'm sure if you wish to try them you would be able to manage them. The repetition helps, I think, but get someone who understands them to show you. Anyway I'm certain that you could come up with something. Since it's my day for retribution, and your reply is bound to add fuel to Kari's burning desire to make me work. I offer you this challenge, a Paradelle, and no cheating like I did the first time either. (Which wasn't a paradelle but raised a smile!) and the subject is Justice Take care love Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
