To pen a song to write a rhyme to dance, to taste word treats: sublime! To see, to kiss and then to lie in sated bliss of pleasured sigh To give, to please and entertain to make a heart sing sweet refrain To help, to reach a lonely heart with comfort dear a smile impart To dream, to strive go give it all to reach the peak despite each fall To live a life of ecstasy Why, that's a life Defined by ME.... Eileen I can't find my muse of late...This was just a silly write...It's not for the contest.

gosh, you should have entered the contest. Silent One is right. He would have placed it nicely! It's very nice, Eileen. I enjoyed the quotes you put above it too. That first one is my favorite!

This poem is compassionate, sensuous, imaginative, thought provoking, descriptive, and creative all rolled up into a beautiful dream. Emile.

Your post brings me great joy, Emile. What a lovely selection of words. Bless you for it. I've been unable to write for a time. This cheers me up.

Well, even a silly( as you say) write of yours, is still beautiful and meaningful thus I declare myself of being an adherent of your philosophy! Filakia!

Thank you, my dear Greek master of philosophy. What high praise from you. My writes are simple things. They aren't profound as yours. We need you to bring our minds to higher levels of thought. Filakia gia sens.

It is not silly at all Eileen. I liked it very much. This is where less is more. Brevity shines in this little gem!

Good morning, I commented on this one last night but for some reason the comment seems to have disappeared. This is truly delightful and is far from a silly write. As you can see from the comments it resonates with your friends.

I'm glad it resonates with you, Richard. I'm pleased you like it. Hugs
