Tears by Larry Chadwick They cleanse the soul and clear the mind that is only a part of what they do They make me smile when I reflect about my past… but mostly of you A touching scene can bring them on or maybe a tale of tender sorts Sorrow will do it without a doubt but I hope that seldom it is why It may be a wrong that has been done or crimes that bring them on But mostly they remind me that being tender is worth it all January 19, 2002 |

Tenderness is not resented. Now where in the world did I get that line from? Tears of joy and friendship, flowing freely in free verse. Well done poet Larry! |

Kacy, Ya' know that "tender is not resented" has been there from the start and only been responded to one other time. LOL Did I mention I enjoy laughing until I cry! But that is just me. Thank you dear friend. And I have I told you your thread is becoming a hazard because of it's length. I'm thinking of reporting you to the Passions Police.  |

LOL, some of those Passionate poetic police have posted as many replies as you have. I still can't believe it went past three pages. Blame it on Marge, she really hit that submit key over and over again. But I really didn't have much to do with that thread, I just gave it an opening kick. You passionate ones did the rest.  |

I like this Larry, mostly because you captured so well why most tears are bitter-sweet, and why we treasure them so. Cheers! |

Tears show the kind of person you are... happy or sad, it's the mist of life. wonderfully done and shared ~Wynter |

It's not how you draw tears from others, it's what draws tears from you that is the measure of the strength of your writing, for the one speaks of results while the other is the source of your own writing. |

Sometimes it takes a body to tell you [literally] that it is time to cry... well said, Larry! |

What do you mean you don't do free verse Oh my eyes they are refreshed and my soul is washed in joy this is sooooooooo beautiful. Absolutely first class writing this is utterly utterly wonderful Oh my eyes they are refreshed and my soul is washed in joy this is sooooooooo beautiful.

Kacy, It's never bad to be the creator of an event like that! Thanks Mac!  BluesSerenade, Then it worked. Thanks. Keth, Imagine that! I sure couldn't. Funny thing...I wrote the first verse cause I liked the thought, and guess what...the rest just happened. Wynter, I kindly consider you an expert on this subject. Thanks. |

Tender and touching, Larry...and you did that free verse so very well. I admire men who are strong enough to admit that they cry. My husband is like that.  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
