bride/groom

i didn't like the bride and groom poem
so i deleted it,
i'm still pissed as hell at God,
you see
he left me at the altar
once again,
didn't even have the courtesy
to phone home and leave me
a message, don't wait up, I've got
other brides you know;
might have known it,
the Lothario
has been writing mouth-watering
and soul-shattering poetry
just for me,
or so i thought
for as long as i can remember
and that's how he gets me to
the church on time,
time and time again,

and here i am all dressed up
with nowhere to go,
Ha!
speak of the Devil!

epilogue

now this isn't exactly the bride/groom poem
i started out with this morning,
but hey, i change my mind
as often as God takes brides

more men.. THE man...

good thing it turned out the way it did. this piece is poetic without being overly poetsy, well-written as always. and a fabulous idea at that! goes well with the "It's Raining Men"-theme, huh? ;-) your Proprietress

It’s blizzarding today,

It's blizzarding today, would be nice to be lying on a bear-skin run in front of a warm smiling fireplace, sipping some Frangelico with a loved one, but hey, the laundry needs attending to and i've written a couple poems I'll post later. Must be all the inspiration i get sleeping in Ohio. Hugs my Proprietress, your Anna in Ohio ~~~~~ "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time. And when you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal." Paulo Coelho

Kailashana! An excellent write as usual and in your usual style. I like the way you have expressed your natural frustration and anger. Your talent with words is adequately expressed by the poem. -Mohammad A Quatrain from my book Rubaiyat of Josh Malihabadi -A Drop and the Ocean: The pearls of intelligence are rare and few Wisdom is delicate like a drop of dew Even the vile suspicions given by the learned is better Than the gift of faith that ignorant give.

Asalamlaykum Mohammad.Darn,

Asalamlaykum Mohammad. Darn, usual style? And here I thought I have the ability to write with many styles/styles, albeit, not always *adequately*. ;-( Thank you for the Quatrain. Much said in 4 lines, even more left unsaid. ~Anna "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time.

Why

Why do people continue to blame God for what men do. He gave them free will If they choose to chase a younger version (lots of divorce over this) It is the Man's will not God. Besides I think he is a little busy because every 30 seconds a child dies of starvation. Not because there is not enough food to go around, but because every one is thinking me, me, me, me. We need to be grateful for what we have. The Hollywood people with all their money and houses are on the backs of the poor. People having babies and then killing them. Sometimes we can be so selfish and into our little world. There are plenty of people who need love, the elderly, the disabled. Try visiting them. Patty

Honey, I agree with

Honey, I agree with everything you have written; however my poem was about the mystical marriage of God to the soul. In the spirituality I live, there is nothing but God and man's ignorance.... hence the inhuman acts perpetrated against *God's* creation. If we *knew* better, we would do better. Remember who said those words? And finally God's creation was finished in one sense, we are and have been co-creators with God.... the state of our affairs not very spiritual, eh? ~A p.s. my livelihood is taking care of the elderly, dying and disabled. I also speak to people all over the world about love. "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time.

Lol. er…… now just wtf

Lol. er...... now just wtf did that mean? Hugs Patty.... my daughter just was *found* by another dog... this time a black lab mix...my grandogter, Daisy and her are best friends already. Every time I see your pix I think of the intense love she has for animals and visa versa. I think it started when she was an infant and watched a bug crawling on her blanket outside. How's your site going Patty? I still think you should produce a line of cards: Prayers By Patty. Even the card & poetry business has hit a recession. Some events have been cancelled. And American Greetings laid off a bunch of workers here in Cleveland. Oh, and about the interpretation. I think one of us still missed it. Lol. ~A "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time.

Girl- I think you're right. I guess I just don't get it.... Oh well. Site is going good. I will be posting more pictures of behind the scenes as we record our fourth CD. Reversals and such. Money going to free kidnapped kids sold into sexual slavery. It scares me to watch the news.. It's worse than anything Stephen King or Spielberg could write. I am glad to hear you visit the lonely. I sometimes feel like I am trying to make a dent in the world and I only hold a toothpick. Take care, just don't want all the gloom of the snow to get you down. Patty
