About This Poem

Message in a Bottle

I loved
I hated
I laughed
I cried
I was dumb
I was wise
I was cruel
I was kind
I lived
I died
I was there
I was here
Long ago
I was here...

    I love this, Tim...Life in a "nutshell"! I like the way you wrote yours...most often, 'less is better'. It should do well in Catie's contest! Thanks for your kind comment on "Loving You". I'm glad you liked it. Take care. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family. Always, Annalise

    Simply stated yet so powerful, Tim. I have been away from the soup for some time now - working on other writing projects. Tim, I thank you for your kind comments on my writing- they mean so much to me. Wishing you and yours a wonderful Holiday Season. Elaine
