Previous Inspirations
Loved by none
Liked by few
These are the things
That happen to you
As we grow old
We often forget
The places we've been
The people we've met
But sometimes the sweet melody
Still resounds in our ears
When we see our past
And taste our tears
Remember our best friend's reassuring smile
And think, did I really make life worth the while?
The people that cared
Did I let them know?
How much they meant to me
How I loved them so?
They made me the person that I am today
They helped me with problems,
And showed me the way
Even if sometimes we didn't talk much
I want them to know, my life they did touch
Forever and always
You remain in my prayer
I am forever grateful
Thanks for being there

The world is not a pleasant place
to be without
someone to hold and be held by

A river would stop
its flow if only
a stream were there
to recieve it

an ocean would never laugh
if clouds weren't there
to kiss her tears

The World is not
a pleasant place to be
without someone


Nikki Giovanni

--Leopold, "Kate and Leopold"
"Autumn"
The thistle down's flying, though the winds are still
on the green grass now lying, now mounting the hill
The spring from the fountain now boils like a pot
Through stones past the counting it bubbles red-hot

Ground parched and cracked is like overbaked bread
The Greensward all wracked is, bents dried up and dead
The follow feilds glitter like water indeed
and grasshoppers twitter flung from weed to weed

Hill-tops like hot iron glitter bright in the sun
and the rivers we're eying burn to gold as they run
burning hot is the ground liquid gold is the air
Whoever looks round sees Eternity there

John Clare
"My Love"
My love is like an ocean
It goes down so deep
My love is like a rose
Whose beauty you want you keep

My love is like a river
That will never end
My love is like a dove
With a beautiful message to send

My love is like a song
That goes on and on forever
My love is like a prisoner
It's to you that I surrender

--Tasha Shores
Images in colors
readers defined,
the poets brushstrokes,
black on white,
paint a rainbow-hued
portrait in words.

Threads of emotion
warp through the tapestry
as the bard weaves
of substance and song
the story of man's plight.

Painting with words,
weaving with thought
with rythm and rhyme,
the arts condense
and distill into one
breif experience
on a page.

"Word painting" by: HeinzS
"You write by sitting down and writing.  There's no particular time or place - you suit yourself, you nature.  How one works, assuming he's disiplined, no sympathetic magic will help.  The trick is to make time - not steal it - and produce the fiction.  If the stories come you get them written, you're on the right track.  Eventually everyone learns his or her own best ay.  The real mystery to crack is you!" --Bernard Malamud
