one lonely night she walked lightly in place of silence-- finite by electric light. (I will miss how I know him) special memories (he had his time...) finding you-- no one's child-- caught ya with your fly open bored of patience (goodbye laws) "let me know you" on bended knee I reach for you... raindrop love by the river-- drawn soft by your soul the shadow waits-- serenity flight... what season is this to sleep with stars? fragility feathered-- rolled and coasted (endless mystery) melted ice, misery made beautiful-- possibilites... are there shadows? (let me think for awhile) I didn't know-- it's so hard growing up-- so much unfinished patchwork-- cast me into the abyss... Oh that feeling! sharing the life-- bridges and walls-- playground blues. I have fingers-- let me sip the tea... the road is yours in search of self-- (something in my mind's eye) help me name it? I won't dare... Learning to let go the drifter's dance she rides... touched by you, your key-- deleted from existance one grain at a time, the pregnant sky (inside-out) in candescence- rhythms of rain-- woman back walking ~a delicate haunting~ the spirit of love she knows when dreams die... putting on a smile waiting for the moment...alone. * * * Hey, I do hope you guys don't mind...I wanted to say a thank you, somehow...I think I could have gone on and on as there is so much inspiration here, just in the scroll alone. I did take liberties punctuating, but there were some places where I wanted to attempt to string thoughts together, and separate others. So...any critique on punctuation would be appreciated. And if anyone objects to the inclusion of their poem, of course, I would happy to delete, with apologies.  And now?

this is awesome! I have often read over titles of our poets, and thought of different lines, but never could put it into a poem like this! Wow! Love it! |

I always knew a good title could make up a poem...it just took a few more titles under the spell of you that brought it into play... Kudos m'dear! |

OhSerenity~ You speak through gently woven thoughts~ Impressed ! You bet ... For I know you~ There is word-recognition that reaches out to encircle you~ Gentle flight sweet spirit~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Serenity You're so clever..this was very well done..thanks for including one of my titles. By the way, one credited with my name, Leaning to Let Go, I never wrote. When I did a search on the title, it came up blank. Hugs to you...you're a passion's treasure! |

that was really awesome. Thanks for including my poem... It was neat to see how a entire poem can be made out of the titles of so many others. Great Job Kellie |

and thanks again everyone! er...for EVERYTHING!  and Martie? I just KNEW I'd screw something up...thanks for helping me to give proper credit for "Learning to Let Go" to skyshine!--and gotta admit, I do not understand a deliberate plagiarist! shaking my head, I think the process is much easier if ya make things up yerself!  Hugs, good poets! |

You are amazing in so many poetic ways I can't count. I tried this once by taking the first page of 100 posts and using the titles and ......well to say the least.......it never got seen because I couldn't pull it off. I commend your effort and your heart. Well done and much enjoyed. |

 YAY!!! Oh Karen, this is such a wonderful and inventive tapestry of delight, I LOVE IT, I agree, this just has to be a challenge, maybe some groundrules can be that you are allowed to take any poem titles here, even from Open #1 if you wanted, but only from Passions! (smiles) This is brilliant, sweet friend, you are a delight to us all, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

smiling...this was kind of fun--and challenging...sort of like "magnetic poetry" I've seen others do this before--and I confess, it went beyond me at the time. But I just saw all of these lovely words and couldn't help myself! Thanks all, once again. |
