 Consummate riding surf’s deafening crest feeling pain sulk in one’s breast knowing to be quietly insane else to never see you again restacking shelves of what- about while other selves leave to scout the beach, the shore, a cavalcade exploring misery that was made full moon has whitened night shadows cast forth in luna’s light yet you wordless creep ashore washing all away once more riding white the determined crest of all that once was then your best |

I felt the ebb and flow of the waves as I read this. Well done, Lady! |

washing all away once more riding white the determined crest of all that once was then your best I think it gets pretty deep here (no pun intended *S*). This says something to all of us that have a little grey hair ( or would if we didn't have a little help) about riding old accomplishments. Am I looking too deep? I like the flow, too. Death comes not when we cease to breath, but when we cease to dream. [This message has been edited by The Rusty Knight (edited 09-05-2001).] |

LadyInWhite~ 'full moon has whitened night shadows cast forth in luna’s light yet you wordless creep ashore washing all away once more riding white the determined crest of all that once was then your best' Very effective~ Nice undulation~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

There were so many lines of this that stood out for me but I think these were my favorite knowing to be quietly insane else to never see you again Then again, that last verse was incredible. Oh well, I don't have to decide, all of it is my favorite! |

This is really really good. Duncan already pointed out my favourite lines, so I won't repeat. Fantastic piece of writing If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Waft every crest upon your destined sea Embrace the Wave of Serendipity Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity...  I like your version, Lady..  |

This was so well crafted - the parallel thoughts were choreographed beautifully. |

Yes, this is very good. Hard to add anything to what's already been said. |

As all as been said above - lovely. Perhaps a bit out of place, but I love this: "restacking shelves of what-about..." |
