Just before the man in the moon tipped his hat and bid the yawning stars a fond farewell, Just before the incessant sun stretched and made it's grandiose entrance with a radiant hello, You kissed me and the difference between night and day became insignificant. Chris - Jan.2002 |

It would take me more words in my reply than you used in your poem to tell you how impressive this is. The imagery based on your choice of wording is awesome and it leaves the reader with a nice warm feeling at the end...I like it!! ![]() |

WOW talk about making a fellas day. Paint a Mona Lisa and deliver it to him with a smile....Tell a fella this and he would take out the trash was the dishes, fold the clothes, cut the grass, and wash the windows all before he drove the kids to school.

Anybody know what time it is? I got a little lost there for a moment, lost my bearings. I think I regained control but another kiss like that I maybe lost forever. |
