The puzzle
There is a puzzle It has thousands of pieces The pieces all different shades of grey It's difficult to find which way To place your pieces and make them fit It may appear to be where it goes When it's not infact, now you've upset the flow
~~~~~~ OUR WORLD ~~~~~~~
Appreciate what we have even the little bit in our lives , maybe it means nothing at that moment but actually that little bit gives purpose in us all. Another important message in it is to respect nature and the environment that we live in for its crucial to love the world we live for what we leave behind define what and who we are.So always RESPECT . Hope you enjoyed my poem!

I let the spirits take me to, where I cant be reached A simple place set in my mind, where I can find retreat A temporary manifestation, a santuary through time To alleviate and elevate, conscious thoughts of the mind. I meditate for comfort, b

Learning poetry III - Carnival Carousel (Roundel)
The ROUNDEL is a deritave of rondeau and rondine... It has eleven lines constructed from two quatrains, and a triplet. The rhyme scheme only has two rhymes and a refrain from the first phrase of first line, thus, the second line rhymes with the refrain:.. a. b. a.B . b. a. b . a. b. a. B.. example: If he could know my songs are all for him, At silver dawn or in the evening glow, Would he not smile and think it but a whim, If he could know? Or would his heart rejoice and overflow, As happy brooks that break their icy rim When April's horns along the hillsides blow? I may not speak till Eros' torch is dim, The god is bitter and will have it so; And yet to-night our fate would seem less grim If he could know. --- Sara Teasdale

life is a rollercoaster !
I will be 55 tomorrow. Not a spring chicken I know, but I still need reminding that life's not all a bed of roses ... but neither a constant pain in the neck. And on thinking about this today and this last year of my journey of life, this poem sort of popped out. I dedicate it to my daughters (R and V) who would probably never read it seeing it's posted on CS, and ofcourse to H. a beautiful lady from Brazil. I hope you enjoy this read. 10.09.09 xxx virgosign
