Howdy Sam!!

Cute poem and graphic today. Listening to the tunes now, thanks much.

[Soaring Feather]

We're the enchanted generation
we gathered the medals
Victory came softly
gathered gleefully on sleeves
We found love...

The Conversation

The conversation

empty of love

lost desire



Its vacancy... the conversation

a sculpture in silky cranberry

deliciously soft and wondering

who they were...

The Ballade Of The Automobile



When our yacht sails seaward on steady keel
And the wind is moist with breath of brine
And our laughter tells of our perfect weal,
We may carol the praises of ruby wine;
But if, automobiling, my woes combine
And fuel gives out in my road-machine
And it's sixteen miles to that home of mine--
Then ho! For a gallon of gasoline!

When our coach rides smoothly on iron-shod wheel
With a deft touch guiding each taut drawn line
And the inn ahead holds a royal meal,
We may carol the praises of ruby wine;
But when, on some long and steep incline,
In a manner entirely unforeseen
The motor stops with a last sad whine--
Then ho! For a gallon of gasoline!

When the air is crisp and the brooks congeal
And our sleigh glides on with a speed divine
While the gay bells echo with peal on peal,
We may carol the praises of ruby wine;
But when, with perverseness most condign,
In the same harsh snowstorm, cold and keen,
My auto stops at the six-mile sign--
Then ho! For a gallon of gasoline!

ENVOY

When yacht or Coach Club fellows dine
We may carol the praises of ruby wine;
But when Automobile Clubmen convene
Then ho! For a gallon of gasoline!

Good morning, Sam.

This morning's poem is true for drivers these days. Everyone is complaining about the price of gas.

So sorry I can't play any of the tunes, they all come up in code. Miles of it. :-(

Thanks for breakfast.

[SAMWolf]

So sorry I can't play any of the tunes, they all come up in code. Miles of it. :-(

Oh OH. They worked for me, they're from a different site. My old one is no longer available.

[Soaring Feather]

Oh shoot.

The Lady's Yes
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"Yes," I answered you last night;
"No," this morning, Sir, I say.
Colours seen by candlelight,
Will not look the same by day.

When the viols played their best,
Lamps above, and laughs below---
Love me sounded like a jest,
Fit for Yes or fit for No.

Call me false, or call me free---
Vow, whatever light may shine,
No man on your face shall see
Any grief for change on mine.

Yet the sin is on us both---
Time to dance is not to woo---
Wooer light makes fickle troth---
Scorn of me recoils on you.

Learn to win a lady's faith
Nobly, as the thing is high;
Bravely, as for life and death---
With a loyal gravity.

Lead her from the festive boards,
Point her to the starry skies,
Guard her, by your truthful words,
Pure from courtship's flatteries.

By your truth she shall be true---
Ever true, as wives of yore---
And her Yes, once said to you,
SHALL be Yes for evermore.

[SAMWolf]

That's ok, I get Paul Diamond and Neil Simon mixed up all the time. ;-)

[snippy_about_it]

Nice car graphic. We lost our music site you and I both depended on, boo hoo. It takes up so much space I guess I can't blame them.

[Soaring Feather]

Good nite poets

May the sweet aroma of Lily of the Valley
fill your dreams
caress your face
tenderly lull you to sleep
in the safety of knowing love...

~ Dream a Little ~ Love a Lot ~

Today

Should thou lovest me this day
I would be content in today
not ask for tomorrow...
But... live this day only
in splendor of knowing
thou lovest me today...
