Today's poet

[Hes]

I really like this MG. Lovely.

THE BOY

I liked his face
It made me smile
The warmness of those brown eyes
Brows without a furrow
Cheeks full with rosiness and joke
Lips working hard on conversation to be had
Two rows of the brightest white behind
I liked his face
It made me smile

Late to the thread as usual...spent all day in bed with sickness and a migraine and just remembered to vote twenty minutes before the polling station closed.

This has been posted before but I am feeling indulgent:

Love

Until I found you
I write verse, drew pictures
and went out with friends
for walks.

Now that I love you,
curled like an old mongrel
my life lies, content
in you...

Like MG's poem and Hes' selection, 'curled like an old mongrel' can identify with that.
Hope your feeling better now Hes, looks like you have a 'warm glow' in your life, pleased for you

Regardless of my own dark feelings
Self pity must be cast aside
A smile raised for another's happiness

[Hes]

Hello Merry. That is a lovely post, thank you.
I do indeed have a warm glow but it aint always easy is it? I am learning to detest mobile phones and the lack of warmth when holding a bit of plastic to my ear and struggling to get a signal! I do hope you are find some cosiness to curl into. Sounds like you need a bit of comfort. Sending you the wish for sunny times ahead.

Seems like the forum has a time limit on composing poetry...I was logged out when writing on the hoof just now.

No sense

there is no sense
without you here
without your taste
just bitter fear
without your touch
my body dulled
without your smell
the bed is cold
without your voice
the silence grows
without your look
my heartbeat slows
with you I see
and all is clear
there is no sense
without you here

Send 3 SMS? that's what your dog and bone would say if you sent a txt, providing you could get a signal
Thanks for the wish

Hope you feel much better soon.

Keep repeating that poem until you do; it wont do any harm. :-)
