Green leaves and yellow blossoms Paint the hillside home of my youth. For years now I have searched these hills For a kernel of life's truth. I see the light of living Flicker and flash in this natural garden -- The compassion, and the beauty of them Make my heart unharden. And after travel far and wide In further quest for absolution, I've learned that I wish to live upon These hills 'till life's conclusion. |

You have painted the hillsides of your home quite nicely I enjoyed! ~Krista "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. |

There can never truly be anyplace like "home"... I can completely relate to the sentiments here. -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |

I like your rhyming Mish, it doesn't sound forced, which is good. I think.. I think this poem almost sounds cute though. Was it meant to be cute? It's nice Mish, real nice. “One word can be magical. Imagine then, the effect of several words, together..” |

Ron~ You're not wrong Betty~ It's great, yes. I've moved around a bit, and haven't seen anyplace to rival it yet. Krista~ Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed. Mark~ There's noplace like home *clicks his heels together* Titia~ Thank you for the compliment! I love the dandilions too. VAS~ You're welcome, mon ami! Lynne~ Thanks. I have a hard time with rhyming well in a non-childish way. So yeah, I expected it to sound a bit cute. But I'm working toward a less cute style. LOL You should read some of my older rhymes. They're so cute you'd probably vomit. Walt~ Thanks! Saunni~ Thank you very much. |

Heh, ah, I dunno about vomitting, Mish.. I like your poetry, and there ain't nothing wrong with cute sometimes. ^_^ Oh, and you should see MY rhyme, I haven't done a successful one yet.. i wrote things like cat mat hat bat when I was 5, but that's the closest I've ever got. ^_^ Love -Lynne “One word can be magical.
