QUOTE (Keith Logan @ Oct 11 13, 18:39 ) *
Puppy Love

Long live the days of adoration,
of sights set above their station
where the heart of each creature
is its only teacher.
The reason I say that
And why I say that
is my dog's love,
isn't a glove
its my...
cat


It's easy to lose count when we write
and the parameters are tight,
but if we just keep plugging
while constantly hugging
the sides of the road
we will have strode
to the end
to send
this


very Lightly, Daniel sun.gif

Oh dear, I am such a silly fool
to break an arithmetic rule
the embarrassment lingers
I could just count fingers.
Try to do better,
count each letter
I impart
from my
heart.

Sigh, the happy chappy

A fool's not he who has missed the count
but one who ignores what he knows.
"Fool says in his heart, no God"
while all that he know shouts
or whispers, See Him!
None is so blind
as he who
will not
see

Sun...
bakes earth.
Summer rain...
and plants rebirth.
Autumn smells, sweet gain ,
sky bright through morning mist,
jubilation of the dawn.
Dew abounds, flowers all are kissed.
Nears the time Jack Frost will have his fun.

It came about, bleakest winter fell,
hoary world without taste or smell.
Biting cold covers everything,
yields to a happy spring.
Hope abounds anew,
nothing to do,
only smile
the while
through.

DECK PAINT

Degrease your porch before you paint it
even if you think there’s no grease
cause it’s certain you just don’t
know what people’s feet have
paced through or around,
and who’d want to
invite some
noxious
tint?

The nonets tightrope he aligned with no net



Through

his eye

each line’s a

neat edge but fell

on its left side. I

noticed most are lying

exactly centered within

triangularly structured shape.

Since starting the thread, all have complied.

This may not be a rule but some few

interesting people said I

get a more esthetic fit.

Have it centered with

tent or tree pattern

rows. If left, go

over, then

push me

east.

LARRY HEDGES HIS BETS

Let's
agree
re Larry's
remarkably
yammering poem:
his accomplishment is
everything he set out to do;
delightful symmetrical shape,
great summary of others' nonets,
enlightening on what's expected,
showering praise on his fellows;
he shows characteristic
insight with his writing
such as we all need
but few of us
exhibit
to our
shame

Silence is Deafening

sad

in the

loss, a plea

echoes. What if

no one ever came

calling on us again

except to read. You and I,

in a sound-proofed habitation,

sweeping grey cobwebs from the ceiling.

Well, it looks like no one is even reading in here, but I don't know where else to leave this message for everyone....

This is for y'all:

Pendant’s For You

Thanks
for your
~ attention ~
shared so freely
helping, critiquing.
I’ve been intermittent;
thus I’ve missed interaction
that is our craft’s very heart-beat.
I’ll yet make my pen dance  for our fête.

© Daniel J Ricketts 27 Nov 2003
giving thanks for dear online friends

I've truly missed all of you by not being able to offer critique while I've been trying to catch up with paperwork at my job. My slow reading and limited time just have made it impossible.

Total knee replacement next Wednesday morning.  Hope I'm not away too long.

Love in Light, Daniel  8-)

I find this ironically appropriate to re-post, since I've just come out of the hospital and rehab to prevent another total replacement of the same knee that was replaced TEN YEARS AGO next week. I had STAPH INFECTION in the same knee (having had a second 'revision' of the knee three years ago, replacing the bottom half of the joint, since it was moving inside the tibia), so it was carved open on the old scars and washed out with 9 liters of solution and stapled back up again. I was in rehab for six weeks receiving intravenous antibiotics every four hours for an hour. The side effect was non-existent 'blisters' I walked on with great pain on the bottom of my right foot and severe pain in the bottom of my Achilles tendon. Since I had a sudden spike in my liver enzymes, I could not take my arthritis medicine until last week. The previous replacement procedures had me up walking 'normally' in about six weeks. I'm only now able to walk a couple dozen yards without my walker. There is still pain in my right foot, but it is much lessened, and the swelling in my knee almost disappeared once I was able to start taking my Arthrotec last week.

I'm THANKFUL !!!

... and I do hope to be able to start offering critique again, now that I can sit comfortably enough to use the computer again!

delighting to share, Daniel sun.gif

I THANK YOU TOO DANIEL


It

takes no

hour’s time to

augment or lend

new insight with a

kind word or suggestion.

Your assistance flows and I

observe how it’s best to critique

unskilled posts and help polish a pearl.



Happy Holidays to you and yours!

It was close to Christmas on my last post and now, it's close to Thanksgiving in a new year. Thought I'd bring
this back to the top. I doubt anyone will see this except for Daniel and possibly Lori but "Happy Turkey" to all
who want to wade through this one.

Larry

An inverse/obverse double acrostic nonet. Now that's a mouthful!


A happy Thanksgiving
to you all this season.


at
home to
attend my
parents so-so
passion for tofu
yam pie and blobs like a
turkey; “not a butterball”!
Health food is their Thanksgiving meal
and I believe, one hundred percent,
no one will ask for seconds from such
kinds of shaped paste. An alibi
saves face when my allergies
gag me. Tasting soy beans?
I would rather waste
Vermouth’s aura
in a glass
not to
gain!

A reminder for those dear departed...



gain
knowledge
from teachers
who must still learn
that those yet to come
will need one to guide them
through their poetry and prose
so the house of cards which they build
won't fly away with the first harsh words.

counting beats until I reach

yourself,
reeling off
introspective
concepts the critic
seizes, to change the script
and rewrite the thoughts where you
revealed a small meadow or lea
ensconced by bright flowers is evil.
