Poet Petals

Once chance did happen-by my dwelling Found within it some thoughts distilling Sat a spell Listened well Savoring a few it found compelling Chance seems never to stay around long It’s always been a mere tag-a-long Ideas smitten Went unwritten More petals in the winds of poets’ song Written by: Debra Squyres 01-23-13

Hi Debra, Just one of those spells I guess. I hope I get back on the train soon. Thanks for friendship. :) May the clouds hang up above a little longer. Till the memory becomes a little stronger. :)

So nice to know theree are others who have to "get it down" before it disappears. It happens all the time doesn't it Deb and so frustrating especially when my mind works at night and I|'m too lazy to turn on the light. Well, you have company! Love, Elizabeth

Drifting phrases of passion and pain. Dance on the petals in the soft morning rain. Casting spells of silken gray. Lost on the vine at the break of day. Hello Debra. :) Good luck if for a contest. Hoping you end up with a huge boquet. :)

I hate to be on the lawn mower and a poem really hit me hard. I know it's nuts, but I've started carrying a pad and pen every where I go. I mean everywhere. Because, life is where you find the poetry. Wrote you an answer in your footle blog. Brian Strand has the last word. He is the person who invented the footle.

What a lovely little limerick, that I could indentify with...so many unwritten petals in the wind! :)

a very interesting way to do petals in the wind, Debra! It could also serve in the contest on poetry about poetry!!
