Ram's the Man

A prayer or pleading is kyrielle a cry of longing, a simple spell to God we’d cry, yet, friends are told Dr Ram’s words are better than gold. So true you see, he’s mortal man our goodly friend yes, but understand He’d not want this, to pray so bold Dr Ram’s words are better than gold. A handsome, fine, and caring man yet, no rival to God’s working plan The best of man’s riches, I now hold, Dr Ram’s words are better than gold. And one can find no better teacher than our Ram [besides a preacher] So raise a cup and let knowledge unfold For Dr Ram’s words are better than gold.

You are a real friend, Debbie, making me feel quite nearer to your heart and muse. I would try to be what you expect me to be in your words, Thanks again. I am reading all poems again and so I came again to read it. You have rightly given due both to me and God. (My name is on one of the Hindu God Ram)hahahah.

oh,I love it, Debs. MAN. I love kyrielles too and you went and used a kyrielle. Dang, people are coming up with all these great ideas to do contests lately and they are ideas I wish I would have come up with! I think my muse is simply asleep lately. This is one of the best I've seen in this contest!
