I was just a Dutchie lass Who wrote feelings in a book Then one day decide upon Giving them a different look I was walking down webpages When I found those pages blue Didn't know what hit me then But apparently it was you Took me by surprise you know Thought I had come to heaven Reading all that poetry The clock went passed eleven I went passed 3.00 AM too Felt no notion of the time Realized that I had drownd In a fountain full of rhyme So I tried to speak your tongue Grammar wasn't always tight But I had this hope you see That you'd understand me right And so you did from first day on Took me in as a lost child Encouraged me to write my poems In your critiques you were mild We have become a family Close and caring I might say Thanks to Ron who started this We should hug him all one day Shared the death of relatives Prayed to God, most of you do Giving strength when one's in need But we have our good laughs too That week when I was travelling And needed to be on my own There wasn't a single moment That I felt really alone Where ever I was going I knew that someone was there Whom I could call when needed A friend that really would care Please listen to this Dutchie Because I want to tell you Whenever you need a hug Just grab me, I need yours too New Port Richie, Sept. 27 2002 In the little giftbag I put a poem for all the poets present, but I myself don't have them anymore. So please if you still have this little poem, will you put it below if you reply or email it to me? Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (10-02-2002 05:11 AM).] |

Titia, my new friend from Holland. It was such fun meeting you and getting to know you and your homeland. I hope you will come back to America again soon and visit with us. Good luck with your sheep and give those doggies of yours a pat from me. Hugs and stay in touch, Marti |

I'd always been filled with gratitude That you found these pages of blue And I anxiously awaited the day When I'd be meeting you. But, alas, the fates weren't kind And this suthern gal had to stay home But I'm glad you had a lovely time Throughout your American roam. This is beautiful, Titia... *S* |

I wrote you a three stanza thank you poem and then I clicked on the wrong X and off it went and now I don't remember the words anymore. Anyway, lots of hugs to you all and Balladeer, you're right. After meeting you all in Florida, I know I won't be alone evermore. Thanks to all, Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (10-03-2002 12:14 PM).] |
