Amigo darling this is a play for me, rather the equivalent of a child getting out the colouring book. It’s more a fun thing than any serious attempt at writing. I have to make it look pretty to cover up the inadequacies of my woeful scribble but thank you I’m glad you like it Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Joanna darling girl thank you muchly as I’ve said it’s really only playing, neither clever or creative but it is pretty so I’m happy. Keth did a dragonfly once and it was amazing, but unfortunately it wasn’t posted because the spacing is wrong. But if it did then YOU would SEE a glorious SHAPE POEM Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 [This message has been edited by Marsha (02-22-2002 10:42 PM).] |

Kari darling sister of my heart, yes Krissy has decided that she wants to be more than a silent reader, she wants to scatter sunbeams as is her wont. Lively soul is my Krissy, I’m hoping that she’ll not become too addicted, but I won’t bet that she isn’t on here replying every time she’s here. She was supposed to leave at 1am yesterday it was a lot later than that when she finally got out of my seat and her fingers off my keys. Thank you darling heart sister did you like the pretty picture? It is pretty that’s all I can say about it.

Keth darling heart sister who keeps my soul full of dreams and my nights filled with light, you are an absolute marvel you know. YOU KNOW that not only can you do these better than me, but yours make mine look like a child’s sandcastle next to a real castle. It isn’t really constructed well and will pale into insignificance next to the real thing. Thank you darling heart always YOU are the light Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Rex darling boy, these truly aren’t that hard, for real magnificence you should see Keth’s, now her shape poems are truly works of art. And the language usage in it is utterly breathtakingly lovely I’m pleased you like it but I don’t really deserve praise for it. Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |
