Where have all the flowers gone? flowers spun, summer is gone, warm balmy breezes have blew by The leaves are dropping colors changing as they fall the earth caresses them in dewy drops and moisture kisses Sliding sun behind the mountains gone much too soon for me I strain my neck across the railing kiss me once more before you leave blinding rays with misty haze the setting of the sun ~me
I know it sucks, but hey, it was there, I wrote it and now it's done. I still take credit for it. I am responsible for my ways, my errors, my mistakes and my bad poetry. I have been informed today that my children have no morals, I am a bad example, and christians shouldn't eat pork.
If I could take full responsiblity for the way my children turned out I would, but it's not my doing. God gave them brains and damnit they use 'em. I happen to think my daughters are wonderful. Loving, caring, considerate, their good to their mama, and their daddy, and a true pleasure to be with. They have ideas and opinions, their inovative and creative and and I think they have marvelous integrity.
But.....otherwise everything is going along and we are all surviving. My sense of humor needs a little lift. Anybody got any good jokes. Where is Cliff when I need him?
Oh and by the way everyone, I was back looking at some old comments made by you and well you have all touched me deeply, made me laugh, made me cry and made me think. Damn, I hate it when you make me think.....but yet, I am grateful to the lot of you. xoxoxoxoxox
I strain my neck across the railing kiss me once more before you leave blinding rays with misty haze the setting of the sun.
Really beautiful.
Take what she says with a grain of salt; it's about as much as it's worth. I love what you wrote about your daughters. You're lucky to have them, and they you. :0)

The poem doesn't 'suck,' it's pretty nice really. I like the line that says 'kiss me once more.' Glad you're still perking!

I like the poem, too Bridge. I was also struck by the part Aravis referred to. Popped in to say "hi" and I've been thinking of you still all this time.... Waves ~~~~~ :)

That ain't bad poetry, you are clearly underestimating yourself!!! And don't worry, summer will come again, but first, I have to beat you in a SNOWFIGHT!!! Get ready for it!
