Purty Poison

. Why does the sylph inflame me so The symbols clashed Within mine dome as she like the fairy flounced before me I like the poet Daver of yore heard the ambulance rush toward me yesss mine heart clattered when the flower without skew leaned over exposing hern purty poison *years later ;) Lexicon ; SKEW C14: from Old Norman French escuer to shun, of Germanic origin; compare Middle Dutch schuwen to avoid

Great verse James but I guess it depends where it comes from. A palatable verse to intrigue the mind!

Dear James, the sweet poison is usually hidden. Was this a vision of death? Or a write about a woman? You know how easily I am confused. I didn't get your Soup mail, hon. The EKG is this afternoon and I'm hoping for a positive outcome. Love, Carolyn

Provokative? Actually this is the Ukranian spelling of the word. Didn't want you to think I am a total clutz. Love, daver

Beautiful poison indeed! Strange, but I was just counseled to call an ambulance in regard to my seeing double vision. This is not in reference to your "beautiful poison," howsomeever, there is more than one symbol going through my mind. Provokative indeed, Sir James. Love, daver
