Of Rhyme and Time There are rhymes and there are rhymes. There are times and there are times. Thoughts that dash in cresting waves And those that crash in sandy graves. There’s no preserver where I swim You stay or drown upon a whim You laugh or cry upon a line Or hang forever from the vine. It is a search in shadows thin With breezes dancing on your skin Feelings swaying on the air Hits you when you’re least aware. Euphoria rides you on a phrase Blinds you in a daring daze. Gives you wings to soar on high For an instant you can fly. Intoxicating I confess The aphrodisiac success |

Trust me when I say they are so sweetly sublime ... I should know -- my library full makes them mine all mine. *L* your Randy rhymes rock and it rolls me |

JM, Randy wants you to know as soon as spring is in the air he will fly there. Take you back to the ocean shore Find you shells to explore And let you shallow in the briney air. WWRS |

Actually, I was revisiting a recurring dream, once, and I thought I woke up and started writing it out in rhyme. Then I ACTUALLY woke up, and I was upset that I couldn't remember the dream anymore. "I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation." |

I love the fine timing of really good rhyming of stanza or sonnet from top of my bonnet Keep sharing your writing It's just so inviting And I'll keep on scribbling with hope no one's quibbling. Alway enjoy your work; it is a pleasure to read!!
