Paula Larson Poet Rhyme

Love Lock

Say not the thought before exhort
concerns resolve, that lock of hair,
love's hearing from thy heart's resort
spins carelessly, o'er ear to wear!

Bridge data's spring, inert affair
does vestige but the time's infringe,
some wrestling's fate, my own trust's dare
does barter with suggestion's hinge!

Protect thy grace, my own declare
so hunted like that lone deer's ring,
upon contention, beauty's bare
audaciously seeks moments's twinge!

Nor gain denotes this callous cringe
that moment's closeness so impair,
the pathway to my thought's impinge
speaks "love you" . . . through that lock of hair!

Otherwise we will not be able to open them.» I can not resubmit my work, unless I use word document. Really am sorry, I wish I could help. Sincerely, Ernesto

Ernesto P. Santiago December 21, 2008 at 2:57 AM This is my problem and I only learned days ago when I got an email from a literary publisher that they can not open my poetry/image contribution.

Ernesto P. Santiago December 21, 2008 at 2:55 AM my new laptop has no word document and am still trying to find here in Athens this office tools/word document/other software…to install it in my computer.

Ernesto P. Santiago December 21, 2008 at 2:51 AM Hello Paula, I enjoyed this beautiful write of yours, the title is perfect. About your proposal, I can do it for free but the problem is am not really good in creating cd. I can put your poetry in a single file but then again if I send you the file thru email or write them to cd you will not be able to open it, because right now I am only using the Microsoft works word processor…
