Hi Daniel,
Both of your first attempts at this new form Lori has created shows great skill. I especially enjoyed the "Simply Mlee." it's wonderfully designed. The meaning had brought tears to my eyes. I especially loved the first 3 lines. They are the most profound sentiments I've come across in a long time. I bow in light of the admirable skill this is written with. I look for more of these from you. I cannot find one word out of place...not a single beat or rhyme...this is purely perfect! :) Hugs, Liz ·······  ·······Nominate a poem for the InterBoard Poetry Competition by taking into careful consideration those poems you feel would best represent Mosaic Musings.

In Inspiration of Daniels Simply Mlee...
My Legacy My epitaph, will never be an epigraph of golden gems engraved in marble or in stone. No cavalcade will celebrate, no mourners marching on their own; no fame or fortune I'll receive, and my name will remain unknown. But I'll be immortalized by my family their love for me will surely be my legacy. ······· ·······Nominate a poem for the InterBoard Poetry Competition by taking into careful consideration those poems you feel would best represent Mosaic Musings.

Thank you for your previous words, Liz...
and I'm honored by your beautiful riposte and the tremendous sentiment that is has for the love of your family for you! deLightingly, Daniel  ... and Lori... here's my second of my promised quatre à suivre: heaven sings
some subtle way hope’s scent renews, revives each day … and often when I lose my bearings… grace appears where whispered words were shouting Worthless Fool at too-receptive ears or stowed consignment rots the very floor on which I fawn in fear inside, the sun looms up with healing in his wings… where there’s no window opening… and heaven sings © Daniel J Ricketts 04 Feb 2006 ······· ·······Slow down; things will go faster!

A Sacred Plea
Reflective times jar the mind like salvation’s chimes we neglect scurrying past gilded pails of hope. It is said that we should give to those less fortunate: helps us cope with life’s ever-changing dichotomy of scales, its ‘fortune scope’. Let us cherish the wealth of generosity – compose charity’s symphony; a sacred plea. ······· ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.

They Help or Heal
Time’s hands erase all memories and then replace them with strange dreams and wishes which were never true. We may forget accomplishments in thoughts, through which we would imbue by weaving these poetic lines, expressing sentiments anew. Although they’re old, our repetition may reveal words from the soul and hope you’ll feel they help… or heal. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Each Cherished Line Dani alone in strange new places which condone a level of barbarity and hate for those who don’t comply with their beliefs. Replacing beauty to impose their way of seeing things that differ from the prophet’s laws. They chose conceptions which blaspheme the one they hold divine. Mohammad left a life’s design; each cherished line. Written for Siren (Dani) on her return to the halls of MM.

Thank you both very much. It's the least I could have done for a long-lost long distance friend.
Larry p.s. The initial post was in the "Introduce Yourself" forum when I noticed Dani had returned. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.
