Aw, thank you so much, wild rose!! I truly appreciate your words!!!!
Do you write any poetry?
Here's another, it's actually a song, but I consider them the same, for me. Called Dreamer.

It's not everyday
that you get to be brave
it's not everyday that is a fairytale
it's not everyday
that you get to say
I love you, i love you
Always

Be my Dreamer
You've got my heart and your wearing it on your sleeve
Be my Dreamer
I still believe
together we can face all the odds

It's not what you see
that draws you to me
its not what you see that is a fairytale
it's not what you see
that shows how I'm free
I love you, I love you
So be . . .

. . My dreamer
You've got my heart and you're wearing it on your sleeve
Be my dreamer
I still believe
together we can face all the odds

It's so beautiful
to have you hear
to disappear
together

It's not everyday
yeah, yeah
that is a fairytale.

Elanor, one word. Amazing! Keep on writing and posting. I am trying to get some ideas from your poems. hope you don't mind.

Thank you so much!! Of course I don't mind you taking idea's!!!!

Elanor that is a in one word.....fabulous.....it's just amazing!!!!! do you mind if I print it out and paste it in my scrapbook? I'll be sure to put your name there (your username, since I don't know your real one) so people will know that it isn't mine
I do write a bit of poetry, when I have the insperation
Here's one that I wrote to my dear friend when somethings happened in her life

One Thing
I cannot turn back Time’s magic spell
And once more make all to be well

I cannot catch the word spoken
And bring it back to you unbroken
And I know no word of comfort I say
Will drive from you this sadness away

I cannot make the tears stop and go
And make them never more to flow
Know I too those tears I cannot dry
For hidden tears inside you hide

I cannot make all to end well
Like in the stories they often tell
For what power do have I
Against the magic spell of Time

There is perhaps nothing I can say or do
To make this sorrow depart from you
But I can come and hold you hand
And gently whisper “I understand”

That was very good.
Here's another one of mine. It was partly inspired by Orual and Psyche's relationship in 'Till We Have Faces'
My Love or my Possession?
Against all hope
Beyond all reason
Is my devotion
To thee

Love I call it
Is as ready to hate
Make threats, how great
As to love

For so I say
No other thou may have
No other kind of love
Than mine

Whatever others say
I am jealousy
And fear and worry
All for thee

All my thoughts are for thee
Yet despite this
Thou leavest to seek other bliss
Thou art faithless

To the only love
Thy life has ever known
Yet my love
Will never die
For love never does
But it will be twisted
In passion unresisted
Into hate

Yet thou shalt be
Mine and Mine
Mine forever, never thine
My other self

I will never let another
Never may anyone
Usurp my place, not one
Should dare

For all my life
I stay with thee
And thee with me
None between us

So I declare:
Ask me not to unbind
My life from yours, don’t untie
Our hearts

For we will only be parted by death
Us of the blood of immortals
Not by another love

^Wow. I believe you are passionate with what you wrote.

I'll be posting some of my poetry maybe tomorrow. I am a bit lazy right now, but I did write something while I was in a bit of wrath with my classmates, but not much of an angry poem.

Ooh, do post, Sandy! I'd love to read some of yours!
Wild Rose, that really made my day. So sweet of you!! Of course, of course you may do whatever you want with the poem, I don't mind in the least!! Oh, and I loved yours too! It was super sweet, and flawless. The rhyming was perfect!!
I liked yours too, Lady Haleth.
Here's a short one. I don't like it much, but a friend of mine loved it.
What say You

What say you, dear?
To life
To beauty
To greatness
What say you, dear, to me?

To life, be long
to beauty, be kind
to greatness, be humble
to you, my dear, be mine.

And another. . .
Summer Rain

I can't remember feeling this before
But already it's turned into addiction
clarity that I can't understand
And everything else overwhelmed in friction

I can't believe this is happening to me
life is just a book that I can read
a void of foolish misunderstandings
The worlds a stage and everyone's a lead

The sky is getting darker every minute
and we realize that nothing is a gain
why can I not see any confusion?
It's all a Summer Rain.

Everything is shaking in the wind
and the world is underneath it's power
in this darkness only I am light
How much can change within an hour!

My heart beats quickly with a throb of love
as I realize you are all I need
I understand exactly who you are
and I see the truth in every deed.

Everything I do is getting harder
I'm standing in chaos and pain
and in this storm I can see the world
It's all a Summer Rain.

Then as suddenly as is started it is over
I can't see the truth of life any more
My love relaxes to a weak obsession
and everything is as it was before.

The clouds depart and all the world awakes
I believe that I am once more sane
the only thing that could have cleared up evil
It was just a Summer Rain.

Comments and criticisms, please!!
Edit
Lately I haven't been able to write poetry, or at least not stuff I'm happy about. It's sad, and I've kinda stopped. Hopefully I'll start up again.

I liked that. The refrain of the line 'Summer Rain' was really good.
I don't really have any new poetry to post. I'm working on a long ballad-type poem about a crazy guy, but I only got past the first few stanzas. Here's an old poem that I wrote back when I was obsessed with Longfellow:
The Castle on the Hill

Not yet conquered
Not yet ruined
It stands upon the hill

Ruling as
In olden days
There ruled it’s tyrants’ will

Highest tower, thickest wall
Proudest bannered , arched hall
Now quiet and still

And down below
Where horses go
There turns a mill

None now remember
The one would plunder
This place on the hill

But all now remember
The good and wise ruler
Who built it with skill

Ooh, I like that one!! Very creative and dreamy. Thank you for sharing, and for your kind words!!

Elanor
I really loved the first poem, it's so sweet and cute and the second one was just wonderful!!!!! It was a real pleasure to read, you have a real gift, I hope you will start writing poetry again soon

Lady Haleth That was an awesome poem!!!!!!! I just loved it!!!!

Aw, your so nice, dear!! I'll try to write some more, and then I'll post them. I love writing poetry, but when I read other people's, I get discouraged . . oh well, I can do it for myself, and you are kind enough to like it.

I know how you feel Elanor, I love to write poetry myself but sometimes when I read other peoples poetry I get kinda intimidated, actually NW is the only place that I post my poetry so far. But don't get discouraged, what I've read so far of your poetry I have really really liked, and I would love to read some more

Here's another of mine

A Smile
I have learned if I will but smile
Though the tears down my cheek flow
Even though the have flowed for awhile
And refuse to stop and go

Just a smile when in tears
Is like sunshine in the rain
It can help to sooth the tears
And help to comfort the hurt and pain

Just a smile though clouds are gray
And blue skies are all but gone
A tiny smile can be a ray
A ray of light when all is wrong

In truth a smile won’t stop the flow
When I smile the tears are still there
But though a smile won’t make them go
Somehow it makes them easier to bear

(I wrote it when somethings in my life were not going so well)

Ooh, I love that one so so much! It's sweet and sad but encouraging.

Thanks

Here's my newest poem (just wrote it today )

The time of day I love the most
Is when the sun sinks in the sky
And just as it is about to go
It says one last goodbye

With a show of brilliant colors
To all the sun bids "Farewell
My time is done, the day is gone
Night must come and cast its spell

I have shone for you all day
And now I take my leave
A gift farewell I give to you
So through the night you remember me

I salute thee, oh white moon
Torch of the dark night
Who through the darkness, never failing
Shines to all your gentle light

Tomorrow I shall rise again
And greet thee with my rays
But now I sink below, below
And signal the end of day

Adieu, adieu, adieu to all
My time of day is done"
Having said, with colors such
Disappears the golden sun

Oh, that is so pretty, wild rose!! I really like the rhythm! It brings beautiful pictures to my mind!!
