Shimmering mirage
Of alluring illusion
Reflects not the truth

Linda,
You make a really good point! Nice touch.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

All that glitters is not gold! For example, pyrite! (fool's gold) hehe

or the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing

or....   the list goes on!

Have a good sleep tonight. I'm about to crash for the night---I hope my computer doesn't!

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, I know this feeling ever so well because I always daydream of my Joanna and see mirages of her holding my hand for the first time and lying right beside me on my pillow and hugging her with tears of joy! (kiss on cheek) I love this, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

This is like a painting that has all the right elements placed in the exact relationship to keep the viewer with the art piece.

Lovely, alluring in and of itself.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

That was an extremely complimentary reply!--and coming from one who has so much knowledge on structure and form, it was even more special! Thank you!

Enjoy your weekend! With all the work you've been getting lately, you deserve it!

Your reply gave me a little chuckle. I am an artist and I was also a singer (of my songs for children---schools, company Christmas parties, concerts etc.) Maybe that's why you detect some of that in my writing. You are so sweet! No wonder Gary loves you!--I do!--and I'm just getting to know you! hehe

Have a wonderful weekend with your man!

That's a good one! You'd think I'd learn!--I still keep getting sand in my mouth! --mind you, I'm a lot smarter now than I used to be---well perhaps " a lot" should read as "somewhat"! tehe

~ Here's to you and I keeping our mouths shut and our eyes wide open! haha

Chris--

If I "write these so well", it is because I have a love and a passion for writing them. Sometimes I can almost feel the wheels grinding in my head as I try and wrap my mind around these babies!

Thank you and have a great day!

Thank you! It seems you have an appreciation for this form of poetry as much as I do! Have you done any yourself?

Nice to hear from you!

Oh, please don't worry about falling on your face--I do it all the time!--I figure that at least I'm trying and giving it my best shot--and so should you! Give it a try! I know you can do it!

Go for it!
