May I Be a Poem? May I be the white glowing down from the moon Piercing your window to gently enwomb The gold of your hair and the warmth of your skin Without invitation for me to come in? May I be the silk in the sheet that you clothe Wrapping the soft sculptured grace of your pose Enfolding your limbs with the gentlest pleat Caressing the silence of dreams as you sleep? May I be the lavender scent that you breath The purple of dawn on the white of your sleeve The flow of your gown and the wet of the haze The droplets that cling to your warmth as you bathe? May I be a whispering poem that will give The phrase that you cherish as long as you live? Elizabeth Santos |

Well let's take a look....Do you have flow? Do you have rhythm?....Elizabeth doesn't match terribly well with Santos?....Hmmm. I'd say you're as much or much more so "Poem" than the crap I write?....Hope you're doin' well sweets....Toe |

You are my poem that is for sure (((hugs the poet))). We should spend less time on worrying when our life is going to end and more on when it's going to start! |

This is beautiful, you are indeed a poet. I'm new here and I'm almost embarrased about my writing ability in comparison to yours, this really is wonderful! |

Noah, I always enjoy your remarks, Thank you Melodie, If your poetry comes from the heart, and touches someone, it is good poetry. PLeas don't ever feel embarassed about what you write, for it is from your experience and your spirit and can't be compared with anyone else's Just write what you feel, and it's sensational! Thanks for reading and commenting BSquirrel, LOL, THanks for the sweet comment HUgs Liz |

May I be a whispering poem that will give The phrase that you cherish as long as you live? NOW you ask permission? LOL Lady Santos, you've already done that so many times. *S* From your hearing what isn't said and seeing beyond the masks to your unsurpassed ability to paint poetic pictures that sail into my scrapbook, you ARE poetry. *S* |

Ah Liz, you are a cherished poem and friend. It's no suprise that this flowed from your pen, you always write such graceful beauties. My library is begging for this!  Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |
