kissed by a warmer breeze, perhaps our love would bloom. But alas, we've none of these. We're prisoners of time, shackled to the past. I've lost the words that rhyme. Too late, too far, too fast. Nan |

  (big hugggssssss) This is a beautifully bittersweet poem, sweet friend, we may all be prisoners of time but as long as we believe in ourselves and hold our dreams close, we can always feel as though we are free and with love, we can all soar in joy and hope for many brighter tomorrows! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Nancy, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Nan I like the poem but I disagree, we are not prisoners of time we are prisoners of our own devices. Still - it has impact what you said. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Dear nakdthoughts, I'm glad you liked it. I've read just a few today, and you're right. They're all good. It must be a special day(though I have to add that most of the ones I read here are good on any day) Dear Noah, How kind you are. Thank you. Dear Nan, Thank you. I started it as another poem, but this was better. Dear Marsha, You always say such nice things. I know love poems are your forte, but I'm much better acquainted with the end of love and the stuttering starts than the heady middles. Dear Magnus, I promised the next one would be shorter. Didn't want people to see my name in the list and think they have to wait til they have a half hour free to read it. Dear Kethry, You have a point. We frequently forge our own chains, lock them tight, and forget where we put the key. I'm trying hard to break that habit. Dear James, Thank you. Dear Jan, I like the short ones best. Nan |

Nan - Great writing. I really liked the first two lines too. Something very unique and original about them. By the way, I myself wear those shackles of the past, but I've almost filed completely through the chain.lol Dave |

Nan hi there mum is right this is an absolutely excellent poem. I know this shackles, but they are easy to break when you realise that you have your own key. You really are an excellent writer, I was advised to keep my eyes peeled for your work, and even if I had to search for it to make the effort. I’m glad I did, this is very good writing. Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |

I've also made my own chains-I'm afraid to break them but at the same time don't want to take that chance. Very nicely written.  sky |

Dear Lyra, Now that I've said it all, do I have to keep quiet? I warn you, I might bust if I try to hold it in. Dear Dave, I thought of the first two lines, and had to write a poem around them. It was going to be longer, but I like short ones best. Dear Krissy, I'd put neon signs and sirens on the poems so you could find them easier, but your mom's cribsheet didn't say anything about sirens and neon signs.(And I just barely worked up to using the 'center' command-she does it all) Dear Sky, I'll lend you a file. Dear Vandana, Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know you read it and liked it. Dear Floria, Thanks Dear Sandra, I didn't want to overdo, thanks for saying it was just enough. Nan |
