Well, Sarge is so darned cute, don't let Sam spoil him, too much. LOL
Ping to the famous Colonel.
Awwwww, you stopped by and didn't say howdy??
You're coming in to warm up the Lair in the early morning hours aren't you?? LOL
I have no idea who that is. ;)
But it's great to be back!
Oh shucks, Colonel, weren't nothing. LOL
A DAUGHTER OF EVE
A fool I was to sleep at noon,
And wake when night is chilly
Beneath the comfortless cold moon;
A fool to pluck my rose too soon,
A fool to snap my lily.
My garden-plot I have not kept;
Faded and all-forsaken,
I weep as I have never wept:
Oh it was summer when I slept,
It's winter now I waken.
Talk what you please of future spring
And sun-warm'd sweet to-morrow:--
Stripp'd bare of hope and everything,
No more to laugh, no more to sing,
I sit alone with sorrow.
by: Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)
I love this poet! Thanks so much for posting her work again.
Night, sweet pea, rest well and *HUGS*.
Hugs and good night.
Its Coming
Autumns flaming colors sift in windy windings,
cascading curtains between the barren trees.
Wind dancing leaves in a swirl around me,
like a flame colored curtain of parchment scrap.
Timeless moments, oh so soulful binding,
as this autumn day just seems to swiftly flee.
I love the chilly crispness amid autumns debris,
as I zip up my jacket and tug down my cap.
Precursor to stark winters reign upon the land,
this is the season of Natures last fling with color.
Our warning of the time to come of monochrome,
to make us ready for the first tint of new Spring.
So we take what comes to from winters hand,
and hope the snowdrifts will surely get no taller.
Oh I do hate the chilly landscape so dolesome,
and I ache for that first touch of Springs first fling.
"Exquisite"
Hey, you want to give me a big head or something?
Oh would it?? LOL
Really wonderful poem!
LOL! Hard at work too. :-)
Good morning, JJ. Nice to see you.
Today is Thursday, Oct. 13, the 286th day of 2005 with 79 to follow.
The moon is waxing.
The morning stars are Mars and Saturn.
The evening stars are Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Venus and Pluto.
Oh I do hate the chilly landscape so dolesome, and I ache for that first touch of Springs first fling>
Me too.
Sharing Is Better
She was so bright and happy; and she seemed to glow with pleasure,
her deep and beautiful eyes, so bright with that effusive rush of joy.
How could I, ever tell her it was really I, who had won the treasure,
or that I handed her the winning ticket, so that glow not to destroy?
