The Knight Chain mail set-aside in bate Horse and lance wait in state And buttercups and butterflies Round me under sumptuous skies I watch the weeping willow weep With dancing leaves that seem to leap While birds fly in and out the tree In awe and chorus message me Be this seem or just a dream A wile or wish or phantom scheme I cannot find a better way For me to spend a pleasant day I’ve spent a lifetime on this quest Searching roaming without rest Forever will not closed its door And I’m so weary of the chore. I’m happy here with bird and bee I think I’ll stay this ennui. |

Seymour darling heart this is utterly utterly perfect, as always the scene you paint so artistically springs to vibrant life when you lay the canvas before me. you daub it with delight and arrange it with fine finesse, truly exquisite darling boy. My eyes alight on your poems and I’m swept into a magic land where bees vie with flutterbys, where flowers spring up under your feet and the sun always shines in glorious wonder. Thank you for taking me on a wonderful trip again darling heart. This is exquisite writing, as always, you never serve me anything except the finest honey and the gift me with the prettiest rainbows. I love it utterly utterly love it. Good morrow to you my fabulous friend, accompanied by a kiss, big grin Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and they balm Let sense be dumb let flesh retire Speak through the eathquake wind and fire Oh [This message has been edited by Marsha (06-30-2002 10:46 AM).] |

Sigh... this is a poem to read over and over again... watching the weeping willow weep... how I love the words... and the magic behind it... Love, Light and Happiness! |

I'm happy here with bird and bee I think I'll stay this ennui. ================================ Where would we be with out your rhyme scheme dreams. And this gem of internal rhyme and alliteration inked imagery is a dreamers delight me Stinkylove...your cadence and meter danced like a butterfly as I read it aloud...for your poetic melodies must be read aloud to pay them the full justice of your art. So? does that knight have a white horse or a randy dragon to rescue damsels in distress? Dream on Sy-babers..we are the lucky ones who get to go along for the ride. |

"I've spent a lifetime on this quest" You know I love that line, and the whole poem resonates. Sandra |

come, my friend, to this tree, and under where dreams are scattered and asunder each a chapter in our passion plays This daydream of bold Knights and daze wandering wondering thoughts gathered and organized under the talented pen of Sy [This message has been edited by ShadowRider (06-30-2002 11:04 PM).] |
