Lovely poetry today, Johnn...thank you for sharing your talents with us.

[ConorMacNessa]

It's my honor and pleasure to post them - they beat the heck out of anything the opposition can offer!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[jaycee]

Ditto to that!

Does that fairy have a name? It looks quite mad.

There a countless different kinds of fairies. These are Winter Wood Fairies.

I've posted this before, but it bears repetition:

From In Memoriam A.H.H.

Strong Son of God, immortal Love,
Whom we, that have not seen thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace,
Believing where we cannot prove;

Thine are these orbs of light and shade;
Thou madest Life in man and brute;
Thou madest Death; and lo, thy foot
Is on the skull which thou hast made.
Thou wilt not leave us in the dust:
Thou madest man, he knows not why,
He thinks he was not made to die;
And thou hast made him: thou art just.

Thou seemest human and divine,
The highest, holiest manhood, thou:
Our wills are ours, we know not how;
Our wills are ours, to make them thine.

Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be:
They are but broken lights of thee,
And thou, O Lord, art more than they.

We have but faith: we cannot know;
For knowledge is of things we see;
And yet we trust it comes from thee,
A beam in darkness: let it grow.
Let knowledge grow from more to more,
But more of reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul, according well,
May make one music as before,

But vaster. We are fools and slight;
We mock thee when we do not fear:
But help thy foolish ones to bear;
Help thy vain worlds to bear thy light.

Forgive what seem’d my sin in me;
What seem’d my worth since I began;
For merit lives from man to man,
And not from man, O Lord, to thee.

Forgive my grief for one removed,
Thy creature, whom I found so fair.
I trust he lives in thee, and there
I find him worthier to be loved.

Forgive these wild and wandering cries,
Confusions of a wasted youth;
Forgive them where they fail in truth,
And in thy wisdom make me wise.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

I thought it was more funny than mad......sorta Carol Burnettish....don’t you think? It was meant for a joke!

Now the ones you posted are pretty. I posted a lovely ‘sun fairy’ yesterday morning, you may not have been here for that one.

[Lady Jag]

Yeah, well I posted it as a joke, too. So there!

Funny you should say Carol Burnettish. I see this as Burnettish as well -

[Lady Jag]

We'd look fabulous in those!

[Lady Jag]

[jaycee]

Absolutely Burnettish! That will be our new slang word!


I am not going to play a fairy in the school play!


Now I am going to have something to eat....see ya later!

[jaycee]

She runs as good as Forest Gump!

[jaycee]

See if your magic powers can make me come down from this tree



BBL!

We are back (it was just a day trip); we had fun. Now hubby is having his brother over for a cookout, and I am off to rehearsal.

[Lady Jag]

Did he have boobs?

[Lady Jag]

And then there's Harvey Kormanish

[gardengirl]

Thanks!

Daughter just called from the hosp—they finally got her in. They were going to do something to induce labor but she’s already dilated 3 centimeters. They’re going to give her something I can’t spell about midnight, so I’ll be heading out shortly. It’s only about 20 mins away, but we’ve got the 2 year old gbaby. Have to get him to sleep first.

I’ll keep y’all posted! :)

[jaycee]

No, but remember he wore those braces until he was grown! I see your point though.

[jaycee]

And Timmish....can’t think of his last name!! And come on and spit out the name of the gal on Carol’s show.....my brain is on vacation...!

[Lady Jag]

When you come to the edge of all the light you have known,
and are about to step out into darkness,
Faith is knowing one of two things will happen --
there will be something to stand on,
or you will be taught how to fly.
