~*Once Upon A Poet*~ ![]() Once upon a poem Quilled in ink of time There lived the soul of poet Immortalized in rhyme Spilled upon the pages In brightest butterfly hue An art admired by many An artist known by few Listen...you may hear it The steady beat of heart Feel the breath of spirit Her presence to impart Keep her in your knowing Forget not of this day Take with you in remember What poet had to say ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, |

Ok...first of all, I must confess that, even though I AM familiar with Stevie Nicks, it honestly didn't even dawn on me that this was a drawing of her. It just worked for the poem. LOL ![]() Anyway...for those of you who are interested, the drawing was done by an artist from Belgium by the name of Johanna Pieterman. ![]() Larry- Thanks so much...glad you enjoyed this. ![]() Duncan- Apparently it is her..LOL Thanks much, my friend. ![]() Sudhir- Thank you, my poet friend. ![]() Karilea- You've put a smile on my face with your kind reply...thank you. ![]() Seymour- Always nice to see your name on a reply. Thank you so much. ![]() Poet deVine- Thank you so much, my friend. Makes me smile to see a reply from you. ![]() I only wish I could draw like that. Krista- So glad you enjoyed this one. Your replies always make me smile. ![]() Hugs to you. ![]() Interloper- Thank you. ![]() dg- Thanks muchly...glad you like this one. I really didn't know it was Stevie...oh well. Love ya ![]() Marge- You just made my day! ![]() That you would wish to have written something from my pen is the ultimate compliment. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ![]() Love you bunches, sweetest buddy of mine. ![]() Wynter- I hadn't noticed that..thank you for pointing that out to me. ![]() Really happy you enjoyed this. ![]() Martie- I'm glad you didn't miss it too, sweet friend. Thanks so much! ![]() Hugs to you ![]() Balladeer- Makes me smile to see you here. ![]() Thanks so much..glad you enjoyed. Love and hugs, sweet man ![]() Hugs to all, ~Vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (edited 10-03-2001).] |
