Memorable Milestones If you don’t count my “all of thens” Or my traveling wheres of whens… I’ve written more than days I’ve lived Always finding more to give… Finding Yesterday’s fond recall Under cottonwoods and waterfalls In all my new Tomorrows past Here among the prairies’ grass, It was this milestone of turning times When I stumbled here, heard the chimes Where life still comes on wind of past When searching in the looking glass A responsive bit wrote to you, and you, A poetic thought fetched to view, As many roses’ leaves as were brought Lessons learned, tutorings sought ~ For you, of you, a voluptuous tide Of fairsome friends and none to hide One poem a day I thought enough, But time and tide grew stormy, rough ~ A harbor safe, Sanctum sanctuary I wrote of rocks, and winsome fairies, I read more than I thought Of dragon’s plight, Forget-me-nots Nannian sonnets feed Mothy hearts Seas come home, when Ballads start Devine contraries and Bubbly cries Songs of Senryu lend Haiku sighs Saw a Pirate, not two, just one Then some dreamings came undone Admired a Kit, then took my place ‘Neath Mysteria’s willow, hands embraced, Sat with a Lady, Miss Santos and me Our candles lit to welcome thee Heard hie and then, comes a Suthern wind Pepper spiced things among my friends I’ve been Martiesqued, Loganized, a little bit of Simonized, Where the fires still surprise But never, ever, Marge-inize I have seen a bit of sad goodbye And more poetry that’s made me cry I’ve welcomed home a poet or two A poet’s world, where we stir the stew By way of this I send to Ron Thanks for this Poet’s lean-upon ~ I may in this life only view me As a poet want-to-be But you’ve allowed my wings to spread And daily I find my soul now fed; Did you not see a bit of you In this poet’s lingering view? Stay awhile, read some more Words shall come to your door In a poetic bit of reverie Where words might fall easily Who knows?A few more may find Lovelies left to each in kind, I’ll be around reading you, Letting you know I love you too… ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 12 January 2002 [This message has been edited by Sunshine (01-12-2002 04:43 PM).] |

I have read this thread and stopped at Olias's "a wanna be you could never be!" as I feel that we are all a bit of you for your words have such impact on us! With each and every posting you show more of your wisdom, talent, caring and loving ways, with a touch of a lesson always in there somewhere. But I will say this, when you reach a milestone you certainly do it with "pizazz"! What an honor it is to "know" a bit about you Karilea through your poetry, and one day when you get published I will say, "I read her when....", and yes, reading this I smile from ear to ear! Congratulations, and also thank you for all your efforts in Passions, and the encouragement and support you give everyone to be better, by being a good example of what poetry is, should be, can be and what it can do for your soul! Sister of my heart, I am so proud of you this day, can you tell? Oh, I almost forgot; someone else wants to congratulate you too.  Congratulations Karilea~*~ Carpe' Diem ~*~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (01-13-2002 04:11 PM).] |

Just a note of thanks to all of you who have inspired me, and believe me when I say, if I read you...you inspired... Passions is indeed THE home of poetry...where those who truly have a desire to write, stay long enough to learn, and the best give their all...and keep on giving... my desire to learn is deep...I shall be around for a long, long time... |

I'm truly glad you've met only one pirate! After all, we rascals are known to fly into jealous fits - lol. This poem was very sweet, Karilea, and thank you for your thoughtfulness. |

Before I even opened the poem, I was pondering the title... and thinking of the many memorable poems you've written that have become milestones... or perhaps touchstones *S*... for your readers. You always do find more to give... and we lap up every drop thirstily... as you feed your soul, we feast. *S* This is beautiful, Sunshine... WE owe YOU the thanks... once again. *S* |
