Dolly... "us" makes too much muss and fuss... so I turn it inside out to find 'we' and then reduce it still further to "I"...

Dear Lori ... I hope you do see "ka-ching gold" in Vegas, but you ALWAYS have gold with you wherever you go; to access, simply lift pen and write ... :sun:

tongue meets ear in language clear to hear, but words meet heart in yet another way when, with pen, they come to rest on paper; suppositions of the past are gone, stilled © D R Harris - 16 February 2004 |

words written, unlike speech, have some pronounced colloquial differences exposed when someone is counting syllables in different forms and therefore don’t quite fit Line 6 has "some" added to "one" to attain the correct syllable count. Thanks Daniel! dif-fer-ent-ly ······· ·······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.
