The Act of Change I only deal with in-between The things I’ve known the things I’ve seen Except for that of now and after I hang from the present rafter. Before and after whispers mean But never really touched my spleen The agony of horrors crust Is feted dust to newborn lust? So questions toll my every goal The osmosis of my soul The taste of bitter, bittersweet Lives in generations repeat And I can only cry the lack Although it weighs upon my back For heart and mind can go so far And I am not the god ptah How sensitive can one be? Without the sense of touch and see Nor do I mean those picture looks Nor testaments in those books Each generation goes to school And the act of change has no rule. |

I only deal with in-between The things I've known the things I've seen Except for that of now and after I hang from the present rafter. Before and after whispers mean But never really touched my spleen The agony of horrors crust Is feted dust to newborn lust? ================================= And I can only cry the lack Although it weighs upon my back For heart and mind can go so far And I am not the god ptah How sensitive can one be? Without the sense of touch and see Nor do I mean those picture looks Nor testaments in those books Each generation goes to school And the act of change has no rule. ======================================= YOU RULE AND ARE TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL!!!!!!! How cool can one poem be?????? I hang from the present rafter. Before and after whispers mean But never really touched my spleen The agony of horrors crust Is feted dust to newborn lust? For heart and mind can go so far And I am not the god ptah Nor do I mean those picture looks Nor testaments in those books you rule and send us all to poetry school. your rhymes rock and it rolls me     Will the wind remember the names it has blown in the past? With this crutch, its old age and wisdom, it whispers no ... this will be the last. jh [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (12-28-2002 09:29 AM).] |

Yes, Mr. Seymour, I think you would have no trouble at all teaching poetry. Every poem I read of yours teaches me something. I love your way of writing. It's always elegant and beautiful. Thank you, kind Sir........  "Love makes the world go around" |

Sy I hope you will put together a book of your poems, I would be first in line to buy one (or at least standing behind Janet Marie). You are wise and wonderful!  |

JM, Well it seems your back on a dole And it tastes to me of jellyroll You make me cry you make me sigh Your words bring flowers to my eye. You are my butterfly of deed And exactly what I feel I need. WWRS garysgirl You are a sweet pea, thank you. Martie, If it ever comes about I'll send you a copy. |

(sigh) Yes, the world always wants everyone to change but I would rather be the same and only change the tints of the colors I wear to find some other shade to explore! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, 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!
