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.

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.
