Peripherals They stand like ghosts within a fog Like misty forms within a bog But not to light or fill a gleam Peripherals are like a dream. Sometimes they hide your dull aware Sometimes they slid beneath your stare But they are there to fill the when Just go back and look again They’re trifles of a slice of thin They only fill the background in But they are there in fact and stare And act upon the whole in bare. So try to mind peripherals They’ll clear the picture add the frills. And you will see a brighter scene In all and fact a sweeter mean Things exposed a brighter light Will soften fancies of the night. |

Sy, perhaps a peripheral could be 12 roses, one each day....maybe all at one whack is better...OR, dinner for two at McDonald's, NO? Not McD's??? OK, OK, at some fancy dine in restaurant....right??? Could those be considered peripherals??? Like this poem, thanx and good morning to you as well.... |

A lovely morning read Sy, enjoyed very much. You know I will forever think the word "obelisk" when I read a poem of yours. I still remember, and am determined to place it in a poem someday. |

JM, All your winkies? Are you flirting with me? If so I am delighted. By the way I got your sweet cards but didn't have time to answer them. It was holiday yesterday and they kept me pretty busy. But I will write. WWRS DeaDiAmore, Thank you so much for liking my writings and thank you for the reply. |
