For My Muse

The gryphon guards Scythian gold

The phoenix guards with riddled clues

But the powerful love and light of God

Will protect us from the likes of you.  

Carpe Diem

Daver Austin Date: 8/6/2016 12:39:00 PM Love makes the world go round, and it does infinitely more than that, eh, Mikki? Poetry can really be so simple. You have the knack of showing this charm. Great long poems are not my style. I haven't the vocabulary or the skill. Giving one big simple hug, daver Login to Reply Michelle Mac Donald Date: 7/1/2017 10:58:00 AM True love, Daver, is what makes the world spin on its axis. The opposite feels like one is chased and kicked like a football...duh

Gary Bateman Date: 7/2/2016 12:00:00 PM Hello Mikki, This Canzone is indeed most excellent for sure. The powerful love and light of God is a force of divine omnipotence absolutely. Cogently written and metaphorically superb. In my book of "FAVS"!! Cheers and Best, Gary Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/2/2016 8:36:00 PM OH WOW< I found this succinct and cool little poem right here close to the top . Very nice, Michelle. (just went way down to comment from Jan and realized this poem's meaning!!) Login to Reply Michelle Mac Donald Date: 6/3/2016 11:10:00 AM Thank you for your kind comment. With the last line, stuff happens? :( It's cheap, it's dirty, it's vile, and it's horribly creepy. Andrea, I can still be happy for I still have what's most important; my children, my family and my friends.:)

Funom Makama Date: 5/26/2016 11:56:00 AM This is excellent, concise and straight to the heart. Yes, He will always protect us all. Login to Reply Michelle Mac Donald Date: 7/1/2017 10:55:00 AM Think often, Funom, of your kind & righteous wisdom.

Shane Cooper Date: 4/23/2016 6:25:00 AM Dearest poetess even in adversity your words resonate with strength and power. Your poetry shall rise as does Selene anew each eve. Your muse speaks to you from Olympus and cannot be banished by creatures drawn from Erebus. Write again! Love your friend Shane xxx Login to Reply Michelle Mac Donald Date: 4/23/2016 7:25:00 AM my Easter animation. Keep well dear friend, love, Mikki Michelle Mac Donald Date: 4/23/2016 7:23:00 AM Ah, you will turn his envious face a darker shade of green; like frankCONstein, with the nuts intact in his head, but a few screws missing. Or perhaps the Easter Grinch with a green pistachio pudding face, that had entered my 'puter during Lent...stayed 40+ days. To top it off he'd taken amongst many things. thanx Shane!

Daver Austin Date: 4/21/2016 2:42:00 PM Take that you dirty rat! Jimmy Cagney would love this poem, Mikki. If the hackers are reading, this must spoil their fun.Hug, daver Login to Reply Michelle Mac Donald Date: 4/23/2016 7:28:00 AM Honestly Daver, I don't think it spoils their fun at all; it's probably what they're expecting. Any attention is better than none at all in their books. Keep well,,, bear hugs to you! love, Mikki
