I Am_____ I, a mischief maker, take this challenge, yes, I amid the crass distractions, and as you might guess, I amble in here, goggle at the topic, then I ambitiously attempt to stoke my muse again. I amaze myself sometimes, but not just now; I, amuck again, must try it anyhow. I amass my weighty thoughts, an ounce of poetry, Iambic for the choice of meter? We shall see. I a mule, hard-headed when I face a rule (I amend them all by fiat, being of the raffish school), I amiably ignore them when I can, break them for fun; I ambush the rulemakers, like I'm doing with this one. I amuse myself tonight by writing awful dreck, I amplify the topic past all reason -- what the heck! I amalgamate disjointed words into poetic spam: I, among these challenged poets, won't say who I am. |

I, among these challenged poets, won't say who I am. But, my dear friend, we know who you are already...... a sweet, sensitive, caring, and compassionate man who also happens to be a very talented writer. So there!  Hugs  Ethel |

Very good, Ed! I like the way you stepped out of the box!  “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

ROFL... You ARE... a delight. *G* I enjoyed this immensely even before realizing how you began each line... (and yes... I know I am slow *G*) It's not an acrostic... simply amazing! *G* And it rhymes, too! LOL *brief pause while suthern curtseys in admiration* Whoever you are... you sure don't write dreck! *G* Out of the park, my friend. *S* [This message has been edited by suthern (07-28-2003 12:43 PM).] |

'Twas, afterall, an "I Am", albeit an "I am" and an "I a m" 'tail' that you wagged!--you bodacious, clever rat!  EA |
