The Ultimate Ink ~*Marge Tindal*~  When you've spent the charm, and all that's left are your words upon the page make certain that they say you lived each thought that you engaged In a hundred years, or more someone will read your rhyme A photograph of who you were will develop in their mind Coming into sharp focus the images you've placed in your verse No blurred edges of distraction as through your thoughts they traverse Let your dash through life be reflected in the ink you leave behind Long after you've penned your legacy you'll still be a poet in somebody's mind ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

refreshing to know that some things live on after we are long gone isn't it? and even if, by the time you die you don't think you've touched a soul, think about how many may be touched by the ink you've left behind. simply beautiful. misscris -we should live forever, or die trying... |

Marge what sage writings! I love the last verse it's a great summation! "Let your dash through life be reflected in the ink you leave behind Long after you've penned your legacy you'll still be a poet in somebody's mind" That's all any poet could ever hope for!! |

"In a hundred years, or more someone will read your rhyme a photogrpah of who you were will develop in their mind Let your dash through life be reflected in the ink you leave behind long after you've penned your legacy you'll still be a poet in somebody's mind" =========================================== I just happened upon this, and boy, am I glad I did Bravo!This is wonderful, all poets should read this.

I am so busy as you know but guess what I did? I sent it to my son and said, "here, I want this looking first class on photopaper", and then........I am framing it and putting it up on the wall beside my computer. Guess what, of all the things I ever read of yours, this is my FAVORITE, and I don't care how good you get again, (as you do it over and over and over) you can't take that highlight away from this one. Hmmm...and another thing, it matches my living room ROTFLMBO! Hugs ~*If you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say anything at all*~ |

What a wonderful thought....I know certainly that you will always be remembered by *many* because of your words And this poem is just one of the many examples of why! You have quite the talent sweet lady Hugs ~Krista "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you.

"Let your dash through life be reflected in the ink you leave behind Long after you've penned your legacy you'll still be a poet in somebody's mind" What a tremendous closing. Kind of makes me want to go over what I have written to be sure I am leaving the proper legacy. No one ever listened themselves into trouble. |

Kaile~ Thank you for letting me know~ LonelyStranger~ I appreciate it. We all need to make certain that we do just that~ VoiceLess~ We each write a legacy of who we were - to be shared with those who will come after us~ I smile when I see such lovely legacies being penned by so many. Poetry is alive and well~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
