Missing Rib 

Should we be amazed,
Denise Williams song "Silly"
Rotates in my head,
A song she forgot about
In her ear it resonates

    Hi Scribe :-) I'm taking this moment to wish you an early Happy Mother's day. Just in case, I can't hang around the soup past Saturday Night. May you enjoy all the blessings a mother engraves in our hearts. Okay, the real reason I'm here.. I know you will find your way to my newest poem soon. called "Summers Eve"... I hope you don't mind I thought of this poem, when i wrote this line in my poem... " I AM THE SPAWN OF ADAM'S RIB."... he he he.. I had to give my poem a small little twist... PD

    Poet Linton,I just love listening to oldies.Kinda bring the mindset back to times long gone,but still has that "feel-good" era to it and I guess will bring that to generations in the future.Thanks for your great comment earlier this week.Im slowly but surely heading back into the game again,taking one day at the time.Take Care Poet!

    Would it be silly of me to admit that is one of my favourite songs Scribe? Needless to say I absolutely love this write of yours. You always take my mind into another realm, which is a good thing ;) hope you are doing good!

    hmmm, I think this must be a song I don't know. I like what you did with it though. songs get stuck in our minds and I have had some that I just could not get them out of my mind!
