Take my hand with a clear heart and I will follow
Lay down your cares and let me lead
But most days stand by my side
In the light of an honest love.

I havent scaled Everest or swam the Channel
You know I have been meaning to
But most days life fills the day
In the light of an honest love.

Can you celebrate your uniqueness with another?
I never could follow the crowd
Nor do I plan to start now
In the light of an honest love.

You may see things never imagined possible
Yes, they're right before your eyes
Dare take the courage to look
At the light of an honest love.

Gidget,

I am a fairly new poster here and haven't met you, yet. Did you write this poem? I really enjoyed reading it. I am not artistic at all but I do certainly appreciate the work of those that are! Thanks for sharing it with the clubhouse!

Gidget -- Would you believe it, I went looking for the poetry thread just yesterday, and couldn't find it. Thanks for the revival... I'll be back here again soon, me thinks.

I love the poem you posted above -- I remember many of your poems from the poetry thread a long while back, and I always enjoyed them. I'll help you keep this thread alive.

Exuberant and boisterous,
A hello with a smile,
Always happy to see me,
Unabashed and without guile.

An ardent companion,
A supporter without fail,
A best friend, a Godsend,
A woofer with a fluffy tail.

I wish I could take the credit for it, but my Sweetest Cin actually wrote it. I thought it too cute to pass up, so I posted it.

Oh, what the heck . . .

Always, always,
Looking for answers.
Trying to find
The right questions . . .
Take away the inhibition,
Embrace . . . anything.
Everything.
Revel in the mystery of
Luxurious uncertainty.
The now,
The reality,
The today.
No queries,
No speculation,
No debates.
The present stands free,
And we have but to
Accept the moment,
And live . . . each day.

It was this poem that I scribbled out just the other day that I was looking for this thread to post. My local paper is holding a contest, "tell us in 200 words or less your idea of a romantic evening" and they'll give an 18K white gold with a beautiful solitaire diamond to the winner. My entry:

My Perfect Romance

I come home from a long day,
and my love is at the door
he has a picnic basket ready,
so we walk down to the shore.

We sit down at our favourite log
as the day's light slowly fades
he holds me gently in his arms,
and quietly, he says,

"I love you 'til forever
so if you just give me your hand
Say that you will be my wife,
and I will be your man."


And then he slips upon my finger
The ring his Grandma wore
And he fills my heart with promises
of love for evermore.

And as we lie there in the evening dusk,
Our hearts and limbs entwined
I say a silent thank you for
A love I never thought I’d find

And the waves, they crash around us
As the stars come out to dance
The mundane troubles wash away
As we bask in our romance.

I don’t need the fancy chocolate
I don’t need flowers, don’t need wine
for my perfect night of romance –
I just need the man that I call mine.

Thank you to all posting poems! I will read them all eventually. I can't write them but I love, simply love, to read them!

The Most Wonderful Sadness

When someone has the courage
To confront the past,
To embrace it wholly
The experience while it lasts.
To untie the knots
Of all the years,
Then retie them in a bow.
So when its really over,
You truly know
The gladness,
Of the most wonderful sadness
I know.

Thank you Mr. W. It’s nice to see you too. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Miss Mame, that poem really spoke loudly to me. It is exactly a place I am at in my life now though I would never have thought of expressing it like you did.

Karen you would have my vote in the contest… not just for the poem but the sentiment as well.

Cin I admire your ability to use so many varieties of form.

Waving Hi to Coco and Twiggy and OG and Calamity. Hope I didn’t miss anyone.

BTW Baby… in my not so humble opinion, poetry is a wonderful way to express so many things. I have zero training in writing poems. I just find it cathartic and a way to examine and understand feelings. I hadn’t written in years until I started writing a few at TVCH. I am so glad I rediscovered it. Some of the people who may post here are accomplished and some just for funners like me. Most of the posters at TVCH are articulate to begin with. Why not give it a go? Share something with us. It can be short.

Look at some of the cute 4 liners. BTW Ophiliasgrandma, I have a friend who thinks all poems should start with roses are red… and he has endless endings for those two lines.

Hi, all! My son is one of the editors for his college literary magazine, and they are looking for submissions of short stories and poems. If you are interested, the information is at:
