With Tongue in Cheek |

With Tongue in Cheek I’ve closed my eyes on some surmise I cannot touch its realize. It slips from underneath my hand With constant flow of time and sand The juxtapose impedes the flow Constant often forgets hello And so I go from end to end And cannot seem to round the bend. It seems to me a lonely sail Jonah swallowed by the whale. And I’m afraid when said and done That one and one is only one We all lean out the window frame To set a purpose to our aim But still it stays within my head We really sleep a single bed. But let us say we could move in It’s two to one we’d live in sin. [This message has been edited by Sunshine (08-26-2002 10:44 PM).] |

Gloriously decadent of you to pen this Sy, but I liked it a lot. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

I would have enjoyed seeing the Cheshire cat, Sy. As it is, I shall have to use my vivid imagination that he is just sitting on the limb with a huge ol' grin on his puss... but if you see him, tell me, okay? |

Toe, How did I know you would say that? Sunshine, I see your cat But don't know how to get it to come up on the bottom of my poem. LOL |

I've closed my eyes on some surmise I cannot touch its realize. It slips from underneath my hand With constant flow of time and sand The juxtapose impedes the flow Constant often forgets hello ======================= It seems to me a lonely sail Jonah swallowed by the whale. And I'm afraid when said and done That one and one is only one We all lean out the window frame To set a purpose to our aim But still it stays within my head We really sleep a single bed. But let us say we could move in It's two to one we'd live in sin. ==================================== If reading your poetry were a sin ... I'd let the flames singe me skin The powers that be could throw a fit... Id do it anyway and then say ... the devil made me do it *Winkiewinkie* Hows about a kiss on the cheek In the space between now and then |

(smiles) Oh my gosh, I too saw the Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland because he always gives those tongue-to-cheek impressions! (big hugggssssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Kitty, Yes Toe is a character but a lovable one. The cat is a first attempt at a gif and was surprised to see it when I came to answer you. Noah, The cat is a first, glad you enjoyed |
