I stand in water ankle deep listening to croaking taunts around me. "Kneedeep" the baratones argue. The circle of light finds eyes unafraid. My spear arrows out sinking in spine. It rises to the surface, a toothpick in the martini pond. And gigged to the end grins an unhappy frog. Larry W. Allen [This message has been edited by dingusjr (09-26-2003 02:24 AM).] |

"I stand in water ankle deep listening to croaking taunts around me. "Kneedeep" the baratones argue." Okay...even though I do have to say, 'poor frog', I also have to admit this gave me a chuckle. Enjoyed this, Larry. Welcome to Passions!

(big hugggsssssss) I get saddened when people interfere with their symphonies, dearest friend, my heart goes out to all of nature and I pray the frogs, crickets, and birds, every living thing can sing without being rudely interrupted! This is a powerful debut, sweet friend, I love it! Welcome to Passions, sweet Larry, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your loely words! I can't wait to read more of your poignant words, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Larry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth I can see the sun set and I perceive ***Live*** [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (09-26-2003 09:23 PM).] |
