You didn't get on board a train Or travel there by car This trip, you said, was much too long The journey just too far.
You couldn't fly there on a plane Or sail beyond the sea It seems more trouble than it's worth: Why not stay here with me?
A bus ticket would not suffice Nor taxi fare come through This territory is unmapped Though certainly not new.
You didn't plan a return trip And, deep down, I knew why; This journey of a lifetime would Begin the day you died.

TwilightShe does not glimpse the road ahead night's damsel of distress shrouds of mist surround Her frame a queer and ghostly dress Her footing sure and presence calm the grace of one so bold as to command the wind, the rain when autumn's light turns cold.
She dwelt a living soul, it's said some thousand years ago so cold a heart was never known compassion froze below When peal'd the funeral bell that morn arrived a lonely hearse her cal Twilight

Stagesit begins with a breath in shock, surveys his surroundings what is this place?
so cold so bright life.
it starts with a look in interest, conveys his attraction what is this feeling? so strong so right love.
it arrives with a panic in anxiety, heightens his excitement what is this miracle? so small so momentous parenthood.
it comes with a finality in peace, beckons him home what is this place? so calm so dark death. Stages

This is NotThis is not a poem, you see It lacks a structure, obviously Its rhyming choices are all wrong About as subtle as a gong
This does not constitute a verse Almost offensive as a curse It's harsh and crude, does not reflect An inkling of writer's respect
This cannot tell of love and life Nor present anger, grief, and strife Fantastic dreams and warmth inside Do not within this work reside
I'm sorry to have let you down Writing is harder than it sounds So this is not a poem from heart In fact ... I could not even start This is Not

The Prince ShortagePrinces…. Princes…. Princes? Where, in the name of poetic devices, are they? Now, don’t get me wrong; I couldn’t care less about white horses and magical swords handed out by waterlogged nymphs. But, there’s nothing like a strapping young lad oppressed by his evil uncle to get your heart a-fluttering.
When I was young I was promised princes.
Noble steed or not; it’s all aboutm principle. I don’t go for long golden tresses particularly or slender build—I’m simply looking for princes.
Correction: prince.
I can’t believe that there&# The Prince Shortage

The Otter"Do you love me?" said the otter to the cow. "I do not," the cow replied. "How can I?"
"I am not an otter. You are not a cow." "How is it that I can love you?"
The otter nodded, and moved on. An otter and a cow, he scoffed.
"Did you love me?" said the otter to the duck. "I did not," the duck replied. "How could I?"
"I never was an otter. You never were a duck." "How is it that I could love you?"
The otter nodded, and shook his head. A duck, what was I thinking? he moaned.
"Will you love me?" said the otter to the hen. The Otter

101 Deviations

Tue Nov 18, 2008, 12:58 PM

I've reached the landmark of 101 deviations on this fine website. Good thing it's not 101 Dalmations, haha. Just want to thank everyone who's given me comments and critique over the years. I hope you'll continue to give me feedback. I wish all of you well and am so very surprised and grateful that my work has touched you as it has.

Thanks,
Beth
