world poets’ nursery rhymes - kids’ dreamrockets at modern times
Eve Roper loves to read nursery rhymes
She's held contests for these many times
She's written some books
To get children's- looks
It was worth spending her nickels and dimes
Her nursery rhyme books are lovely and swell
And children must love them all, I can tell
So, do take my advice
You should read them- once or twice
I am sure, you will enjoy them as well
*Dedicated to our dear friend and wonderful poet
Eve Roper
A sweet poetess, most worth reading!
Not only prolific, but in her heart-moving words, terrific.
She waltzes far above professorial,impressive words,
Expresses herself above overdone imagery, that is absurd.
Does not try to be a poetic comedienne!
But pours her soul’s stars out, as softly as she can.
A great poetess, I am happy to say.
As sure as the sun rises, she lifts my soul each day.
How I admire her tender, genuine humility!
A woman who was raised with utter gentility.
Eve enjoys humanity, it’s so wonderfully obvious.
Roses to you, Eve~ we find you, a poetess, glorious!
With love and respect, Panagiota

P- "pine trees and ponds" are their simple pleasures.

So sweet the tender moments that we spend
And you, with your romantic ambiance
Filled with such love, we dare not grasp or bend
Yet neither can deny their heart's response
Alone tonight, beneath the moon and stars
My mind drifts back in time, when love was mine
Though my heart's mended, tender are the scars
I wondered if it's all been by design
Yet a sweet pattern traced upon my skin
Its cooling on this balmy day; those days
Together sung treasured memories, spin
That calming love, remains with sunlit rays.
10/13/2020 Thank you Eve.
Her name is Eve and she is a special woman
she's got a heart of gold & a smile full of love
she's an artist of extraordinary talent, a poet
who shares her verses of excellence-divine
Today is her Birthday so help me to wish her
a day full of blessings and true family bonds
she's a nana who adores her little grandson
and she deserves years of health and beauty
Eve, I hope tonight your basking in the light
and I do believe Roper is blowing you kisses
I think he's smiling from above and beaming
so tell me its true and that I ain't dreaming...
The moon is shining a little brighter for you
and the stars are asking you to make a wish
Eve, I know your name means "she knows"
but I think it should also mean, " she glows"
Have a great birthday, know you are cherished
and that my love for you, will never diminish.
From Mystic Rose
A Verse by Eve Roper and James E Lee Sr- ALL CHILDREN OF GOD-IT’S UP TO US TO LOVE-
"Thank you”, Father
For the Children, all children
Oh! Lord
"Thank you”, God
For the their lives, all children
Oh! Lord
And God.. It’s up to us
To love, teach and model
What is good God bless the little ones..
Oh! Jesus it’s you whom are a true role-model
It’s neither those peers nor pressures of this world
And My Lord it’s you that we should follow
Not man, not my earthy father or mother
Oh! Jesus you, teach and model and take care
It’s you whose the true and the light that shines here..
It is good, you are good God bless
As we do thank you for those little ones..
We’re all children of God.. it's up to us to love, teach and model what is good
"Thank you”, God
For the their lives, all children
Oh! Lord"

TEACH THE CHILDREN THE ALPHABET
A Dedication to Child Advocate Poet Teacher Eve Roper
It's up to us, the parents and other adults
What has happen to the village
Caring for children is an honor and privilege
teach the children the alphabet
so they can build the words
teach them how to read sentences
so that they can read God word
It's up to us, the parents and other adults
What has happen to the village
Caring for children is an honor and privilege
it's the fathers, mothers, grandparents
-our teachers and neighbors
we all have a commitment a service
-to teach the children
so they all understand learn how
-to praise the Lord
the world would be so much better
-if we teach the children the letters
to form words, read the words from the bible
-to learn about God and Jesus Christ
It's up to us, the parents and other adults
What has happen to the village
Caring for children is an honor and privilege
So let us TEACH THE CHILDREN THE ALPHABET

A DEDICATION
RAPPING BROOKS
~~~~~~~~~~
Many brooks I've heard rapping,
I dance with joy, end up clapping.
All have spirit, what err the land,
meandering journeys nature planned.
To sit on their banks, meditating,
to them babbling over rocks, relating.
To times gone by in Wiltshire,
I first dedicated my heart to nature.
No regrets, not ever on my part,
bar one, humans, they broke their hearts.
Most brooks now dehydrated, gone,
but hark, their spirits still rap on,
memories, the day spent on their banks.
Evoked by you Eve, my special thanks.
The truth in a poem found,
A poet of the same ilk, that's sound.
It seems though that words are not enough,
We need to get out there and do some stuff.
Show folk what their missing,
Nature all around them wishing.
That we humans would implement the solution,
To fix the climate, stop pollution!
Inspired by Eve Roper's poem, 'Nature's Lesson to Humanity' check it out!

Blank canvas
lies naked, cold and pale.
Master painter
paints a dream,
so a man without sight can see.
Master painter's palette enchants.
Sleeping grey pigments weep,
flowing crimson reds drip as
mellow yellows bring sparkle.
Navy blues dribble with royals,
as bright greens drizzle with
bursts of orange bowing
to sprinkles of gold.
Without a word,
each stroke dances
flowing like the sea,
where calm waves
salute unblemished shores.
Psychedelic impressions
shape illuminations,
creating images
like a mother's lullaby.

For Eve Roper,
Poets with a brain remain in Spain
Left America not standing the strain
Started writing each poem in Spanish;
Now no poet from Spain will they banish.
Sounds like great idea and not outlandish.
Guess you could call this a
Horn style limerick which
I hope won't make you sick.
