I’ll Wait The local dream express, has flown And now I wait the waiting zone I rarely miss this flight of seem I always ride fist class in dream. But something happened on the way It hampered me a moment’s stay Just enough to turn my head And sprinkle it a reason’s dread. It was the clouds in angry pass Like gray and shifting chutney glass Stirring up an ill will chill That gave my mind a spirits rill. It slowed my muse and drift of night I could not catch the midnight flight And lay there in a restless wait A colored amber thinking state This moment chalked a spirits wave A ghost had walked across my grave. |

Seymour, to-night you and your muse shall have a peaceful sleep. I had a terrible dream last night of spiders!! Big ones! I would rather have a dreamless sleep than one which frightens me. I think we need some comfort food to-day....ummm....how about some warm banana muffins with Enchantress's tea? Okie Dokie. Keep smilin' hugs, Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

Mr. T., next time you have a restless night like that, please send your thoughts out to the Universe for me to come and be by your side! I will be there in but a moment to soothe your fevered brow and sprinkle you with some fairy dust. You will slip comfortably into a deep and peaceful sleep where beautiful dreams are your reality. Always remember, you have Earth Angel at your service!  Sweet Dreams, EA |

Morning Seymour  it does sound as though you didn't sleep very well. I hate bad dreams. Some of them seem to linger on in your mind, don't they? I'm glad to see, though, that your bad dreams didn't keep you from writing a beautiful poem for us this morning. Thank you.  Hugs, Ethel |

It was the clouds in angry pass Like gray and shifting chutney glass Stirring up an ill will chill That gave my mind a spirits rill. It slowed my muse and drift of night I could not catch the midnight flight And lay there in a restless wait A colored amber thinking state This moment chalked a spirits wave A ghost had walked across my grave. ================================== Well, gratefully, I never have to wait to read a poem that makes me smile at your writer's wile.Take another bow me sweet Stinky for this is cooler than cool and teaches the poetic golden rule. How can one not smile at your Sy-style with clever lines like these.... Like gray and shifting chutney glass Stirring up an ill will chill I could not catch the midnight flight A colored amber thinking state This moment chalked a spirits wave cadence kissed couplets of waaay cool... and I? I am your Tinkerbell winkie fool    |

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Seymour, this is heartfelt, sweet friend, I always go to sleep early in the morning as I don't want to be left alone in the night and want to be acquainted with it! (sigh) Hope you get good rest tonight, 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! Love, Noah Eaton |
