In the circle neath the sun The Gathering was well begun Maureen came as Naked Thoughts to see the spell that we had wrought five days with her and we can't walk from our laughter and her talk Titia came from cross the sea to bring her tales and poetry My, Oh my she cried out loud for she knows how to hold a crowd just her accent is enough to melt those hearts that would be tough Marge and Bill on Thursday night brought us tales of wild delight they travelled hard and travelled long to bring their gifts of poem and song they saw the villa it was a house but were polite and said it's grouse Pilgrimage came soon to stay from Texas state so far away Keth and Krissie volunteered to pick her up and see her cheered ideas and maps to us were tossed but guess what we still got lost Afternoon no sign of Sy or Balladeer was passing by there was no Fran or Isabel were they lost too - just time would tell finally they came around we shared knuffle hugs with lots of sound Laughter rang out through the night when dogs set loose gave all a fright merriment and happy tears while we compared the joy of years presents gifts and then some more made us special to the core Presents love were all exchanged and the house was re-arranged thirteen people on the floor still we waited for two more we missed our little Chipmunk friend who came in late toward the end We read and sang our hearts complete with all the food we were replete poems from each land were read between Bill's songs filled up our head the reminisces all were heard they filled the air like song of birds Music, dancing who wanted more till Balladeer fell to the floor no my friends he was not drunk a broken bed had caused this funk we laughed out loud and he did too though his face was red and white and blue One am and finally sleep a million memories we will keep *gouse is Ausssie for lovely, nice,unique. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown [This message has been edited by Kethry (09-28-2002 09:26 AM).] |

Considering the size of his rear end, I can imagine why the bed broke!!! |

For your information, MR. TOERAG, that bed was constructed by the Marquis de Sade....and was probably that old, too! First, the bars drove into my back, along with the springs, so we had to blow up a rubber mattress with a hair dryer to put on top of it. Too bad you weren't there 'cause I could have used some of you rubber blowup thingies...then, when that was done, I simply shifted positions and went through the mattress. Finally we took the mattress off the bed, put the blow-up mattress on top of it and tried hard not to move all night- you know, like the way you and your ex used to make love. Anyway, it wasn't my fat butt!!!! (well, not all, anyway)  |

Yanno, Kethry... reading this isn't good for my health. *G* For every time I laugh, I go into a spasm of coughing... and though I thought I was pouting enough from missing the trip to not even crack a smile, your tale of Bal's bed did me in. ROFL... and coughing. *G* |

Hey, Keth, I thought we'd all agreed to keep quiet about the bed, and blackmail Balladeer. I was looking forward to my new Mercedes. Sigh. Too bad. Nan(Pilgrim variety) |

as I catch up on all my readings...I am reminded of those special instances that brought laughter and those of tears when poetry was read by all. Each of us bringing our own personalities to share in one gathering... A lovely poem, saying so much... now on to part 3 *s M |
