Phases of the Moon Each night I dance a different tune. Like the phases of the moon Within the shadows misty way That disappears when comes the day. Buttered with a magic whip. I give reality the slip. And take a phantom lively tour. On to fantasies allure It’s only lately I control. The outcome of the nightly dole Took a lifetime to find the key. And much to my dismay you see. For I am now in final phase And overcome by backward gaze. And cannot hack the rash and dash. I’ve lost the essence of my brash. So once again I turn the bend. With the same, Oh Henry end. |

Now here I am smiling with O. Henry...I hope you're feeling a bit better today, Sy - at least well enough to keep the rest of us content with our daily dose of sy-isms.... Thank you for all you bring to Passions...  |

Good morning, Mr. T.! Well, it looks like it will be a much better day for me, now that I have had a sip of your wit! "For I am now in final phase And overcome by backward gaze." --Oh, if only I could turn back the hands of time for you... .......I just discovered I can!--and I am going to write a poem for you and post it! Wonderfully written sonnet--and the man guiding the pen is divine! Warm morning hugs, a smile, and a wink! EA |

Sunshine It's I that am the thankful one. JM, My two cane Yipe, OH, OWE song hasn't changed but I felt I had to answer my Tinkerbell. Buttered pop corn reminds me to much of snap crackle and pop, so I'll skip the pop corn for now but take the TLC. WWRS Chris, Muffins and tea are great. Thank you Nancy, Sunday hugs back. Earth Angel Warm morning hugs, a smile, and a wink back. Not doing much reading now but I'll look for your poem. Love Sy |

In reply to Enchantress's comment....I didn't say "whose" oven the muffins were coming from. It's the thought that counts...right Seymour? Once my sister and I made tarts...and well, they were later used as ashtrays....and then there was the time we.... "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Loved this - Buttered with a magic whip. I give reality the slip. And take a phantom lively tour. On to fantasies allure Core |

Seymour, is it raining a lot in your part of Florida? It is here, and makes the bones ache sometimes. Hopes all's well with you.  I love your poetry no matter what time of day or night I get to read it. Heart Hugs, Ethel |

I ALWAYS love the flow of your words! Great write as always!!!!!!!! I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |
