~*Ode To A Paperclip*~ Oh paperclip, thou holdeth parchment fair In gentle grip, lest roughness cause a tear Sweet word and rhyme, held safely in thy care Thine arms securely wrapped 'round treasures rare Though, staples with their jagged teeth may scar Thou doth not puncture, nor thine wards do mar Thine champions doth travel from afar To offer cherished wares and much dinar For they doth worship thine protective charm How thou doest keep all lambskin safe from harm And ne'er shall cause good reason for alarm Ill trepidation wholly thou disarm Thus, I remain forever in thy debt Oh paperclip, thine aid I shan't forget ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truly met the poet. ~vlraynes [This message has been edited by vlraynes (02-17-2003 04:49 PM).] |

Anyone who can write and ode to a paperclip and do it in perfect sonnet form deserves to be immortalised in print. My vote's in. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

You are most excellent at writing these Sonnets and this one is of no exception... Most excellent and cute too. I love the old world charm that this Sonnet denotes to a rather new world invention. Good job. -Bob |

If someone remains in a bad mood after reading this, well, they just want to be miserable, that's all! This is one of my all time favorites of yours Vicky. It not only shows your great talent with sonnets, it always shows your great wit! |
