I'd like to say hello to everyone here, and well met on the road...*s*.... I'd also like to say that I have a web page, run by my son, with lots of poems, and also a pretty good story if anyone would care to look at it... The link is on my profile, and thank you to the awesome people of pip for providing this site. Poetry is above all else for *touching* people... I'll only post here rhymes that aren't on my web site, and I hope that some time, here or there, I manage to Touch all of you, as I'm certain you will me....*s*... Oh yeah, the poem....and a story....*L*... Surprised! Surprised! To meet a stranger On such a dreary night When all the stars have twinkled out And moon so far from sight.... Surprised! To meet a stranger On such a weary trail Far from any nook or niche The boldest sailors sail... Surprised! At such a welcome An opened hand salute From so surprised a stranger With equal bloody boot.... Surprised! At such a gentle touch When kindred hands connect And wond'rous then to share a fire The cold forgot to check... Surprised! To gaze upon her My heart was nearly stopped Surprised, to see a halo When hood and veil were dropped.... Who art Thou, well met stranger And whither wouldst Thou roam? "I'm only just an angel," said. "Come far, to lead thee home"... That love is all there is |

Welcome to Passions and what a lovely poem, I too loved the ending, as what person person to meet than an angel. Oh, and the link to your home page is not working - went to sign your guest book. Again, welcome you will love the people in this community of friends. ~* Tell someone in your family that you love them today *~ |

Thanks for letting me know the link was not good... I added the Hyper-text call and it seems to be fixed...*s*.... I hope you all enjoy, and if you intend to read Ruby and the Poet's story you may not want to read all the featured poems first... it can all be easily read in a couple hours... and I shall be eternally grateful to all who sign the guestbook...*s*.... |

Sire, I beg thee, know that certain particular poets are going to request of thee to leave us missives, such as this, for this delights all eyes... Well done, good Sire... |
