New Game? seems especially appropriate with today's news.

[ValerieUSA]

I had a beautiful black dog named Boomer.

[JustAmy]

Good evening, Valerie.

Thank you. And thank you for posting your photos.

CG posted a poem to go with your photo on yesterday's thread.

I brought the poem and the flowers to today's thread so they could be seen by more of our visitors!!

Isn't that the truth. Why can't we return to the "Old Game"!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Afternoon everyone. I'd like to repost No's poem, which he posted on yesterday's thread.

Thanks so much for this poem, No. Please, feel free to come and visit us whenever you like.

The Dream

Come on in here little one
I see your world's turned upside down
What on earth's been goin' on here
since I've been gone?

They don't seem to understand you, do they...
when you say what's deep inside
when you hear the tunes, and dream the dreams
They can't feel, in fact they Hide!

The world's had many like us
some say "artist" some say "weird"
But we dream the dreams, and we build the world
And at times are even feared!

Some few of us get wealthy
Some reach fame once they've gone home
Don't you worry 'bout it either way
Just "make up" another poem

"Happened just the other day"
You know I heard my own heart sing
"said times and trouble dead ahead"
Find what happiness love brings

I missed the poem you posted last night. Thank you.

Victoria ... Thank you for reposting No!'s poem.

Hope you are both having a wonderful evening.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Amy, you're welcome. I'm glad No decided to post his poem, I think it's nice too.

Hope you are both having a wonderful evening.

We are, but not together LOL! Well, I assume No is having a nice evening.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I think so too, Pippin. Nice to see ya.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Yep. I know you were asking for Salsa last night, so let me find it. :-)

[SAMWolf]

ARRRRRGH!

[Victoria Delsoul]

OK, well, I'm having a hard time finding salsas. I'm getting only samples.

Lucky you.

[The Mayor]

Your Welcome !

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you, Victoria. If you hadn't reposted this, I would have missed it.

Very nice, No! I hope you will post more of your poetry here.

Roses

(For Katherine Bregy)

I went to gather roses and twine them in a ring,
For I would make a posy, a posy for the King.
I got an hundred roses, the loveliest there be,
From the white rose vine and the pink rose bush and from the red
rose tree.
But when I took my posy and laid it at His feet
I found He had His roses a million times more sweet.
There was a scarlet blossom upon each foot and hand,
And a great pink rose bloomed from His side for the healing of the land.
Now of this fair and awful King there is this marvel told,
That He wears a crown of linked thorns instead of one of gold.
Where there are thorns are roses, and I saw a line of red,
A little wreath of roses around His radiant head.
A red rose is His Sacred Heart, a white rose is His face,
And His breath has turned the barren world to a rich and flowery place.
He is the Rose of Sharon, His gardener am I,
And I shall drink His fragrance in Heaven when I die.

Joyce Kilmer

hello everyone, thanks for keeping me updated while i've been gone. I will be popping in and out and I'll be here for a little while tonite. I hope everyone is doing ok? Anyway have a good evening!

[Mama_Bear]

This is such an adorable graphic! I have to say, I think I am the most adorable of the lot.......except for Amy and Billie and big dog "Louie", of course. ;-)

[Victoria Delsoul]

You're welcome, Lori. I noticed that No's post was the last one (I think) on yesterday's thread, that's why I thought I should post it here. It's a nice surprise because I didn't know No writes poems.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Hookman! Long time no see, good to see you!

Nice poem, thanks so much.
