Want to play a game? Yahoo Poets...?

Oh, my gosh! I just love this poem! I am cracking up so much because you express feeling so many of us have....take a look over in the seniors section........crimeny...I too thought of leaving, because I got discouraged at thumbs down at me, and deleted questions, but when I got past that, I was asking a question about cancer and the people who answered my question kindly? Some of them had four or five thumbs down, then I got ticked at people for giving my "answerERS" down. I had a serious question about cancer because I am waiting bone marrow results. I am like, "What goes with this place?" So I closed down my e mail, and have everything quiet...but guess your words my think...sorry, I hope you don't mind if I am laughing. If only you had a clue how you made my day. I have to star this so I can read it again. Thankyou, from *granny* who loves to read and write poetry, but doesn't have the guts to do it here.

Fredric will always spring to mind when it comes to romance P'quaint. Romance doesn't seem to feature too highly for the muses of other poets, imho. Perhaps I have been tarnished too much by the animosity seen on here recently.There was one poem Gio wrote which was up there with Fredric's. I'll have to ponder some more. Yes of course, Questor and Yesu Ben and one I saw from Angry Pete.

Oh BG

I am so glad you came back

you picked up the slack

from under the worn and dirty

gunny sack..

you brought me a smile

a chuckle ...a few

I was running away

if you only knew

this horrid place

this space in my life

that YA calls poetry

aint that a slice

now suffice it to say...

I come back each day

to see what frackus

is leading the way.. I laugh and I chuckle

I don't have to buckle my seat belt

is missing

the teapot is hissing

and my place in this place

instead of dismissing

....

I know I am HOPEless...

and that Don Bernardino guy

still won't dance with me

did you tell him I can't dance?

I'm w/BB. My first Y!A answers were all in Health where I usually know what I'm doing. Now, I almost never leave Poetry. I try to just answer the most recent question when I open the folder, but I've got to admit, if I see a poem from Buk or Ma or Sin or HH or MTR, or Schultzie or Semper or any of the "regulars" (or irregulars) I've got to skip down to that question becaue the writing's reliably interesting. It's become a sick addiction. To Poetry.

I once knew a girl named Sandy

Whose laughter was mighty handy

She'd come out to play

And Giggle all day

That girl is sure a dandy

I also knew a girl named Kathy

She sure could get kind of Sassy

She made me laugh lots

With her shows that are tops

And her jokes that were pretty brassy

There's a poetry gal called Sin

I'd like to think is my friend

She's top of the heap

Her poetry we'll keep

To read over and over again

And then of course there is me

Who can't write for squat you see

So I'll stop while I can

And not torture you again

With these silly limericks.... <<<you finish

To bobby's girl

I remember well when you said goodbye

said you were leaving

thought you were the cause

of too much pain.

And I flooded you with emails

saying

No

you can't.

None of this

have you caused

This has gone on before you,

and will continue after you leave.

There is a need in you

to be here.

So stay

and play.

And see the joy

in your heart

and all

the others?

Smiles.

Hands you a cup of tea

and cookies

and sits with you.

*Blush - I think it aint ABOUT Jellz or any of those but it's what Jellz is VERY pleased to read (the read tween the lines meaning). It means "BG is gonna be all right! and we helped her find her way" Yay Woo! Life's Good chicky! It's survival of the fittest and you are looking RED HOT Mamma BG!

All I said was "keep walking" and you got up and ran!! (Thankfully not as in Forest Gump but like "running round in circles like a headless chook" so I get to see you pass by occasionally LOL)

Rawk on baby!

Edit - to my stalking down-thumber I just wanna sing "thumber time, and the living ith eathy, fithh are jumpin and the cotton ith high..." oh gosh will attract more td's LOL

Wonderful!!! As always. Unfortunately, I draw a blank. Next challenge, I promise!!

Poetry is where I live

No where else I want to be

Here friends I've made, help they give

Inspiring like our own B.G

(short and sweet and out of beat - sorry)

Not in a writing frame of mind but I enjoyed this muchly.x.

I tripped and fell into poetry and have never been the same.
