Moon beams {You may have a poet mention, please read folks}

Inspiration comes in many forms quick and fierce as if from a storm.Thankful I am to be here today, looking for knowledge along the way.
 I asked the Man in the moon for his advice he smiled and said "It's a toss of the dice."
 "Why might you ask me your earthy question's, what makes you think I may have a suggestion?"
 Because you must see it all, from your round luminescent ball.Surely you know what I mean, you have the best view of the scene.
 "Maybe you should ask your Paw, he is one of the wisest I have ever saw.Or maybe the dwarf might know, She has infinite wisdom ready to go." 
 Good suggestion, I can not disagree. Their patience and time is great testimony.
 "Janice or Eduardo may have your clue."
  That's all fine and dandy but I am asking you.
 "Amartya Ray could probably save the day,"
  Yes, he shines his light and has his way.
 "Bright is the neon soul of electric blue, Dark purple has a different shade and hue.Ann would surely have what you need, the proprietress and her can shape a read.Plus Lonnie always' Love's to please and play,"
  I can not argue with anything you say.
 "So why do you think that I am the one, why don't you ask my brother the Sun."
 If they had my answer I surely would, I know they would help me if they could.But you are the only one who can truly see...
  How do the moon beams look shining down on me?
 :-) He-he 

 Thanks for being such a great friend this week Moonman, can you tell I appreciate how much you have cared!I just couldn't quite get a poem out about my "Wonder dog."  D.D. 2/22/2009

Moon Beams they are

Some are even musky tears, all precious to our ways, If only they could compile a book the Neopoet way, Each poem as it runs on through, with sugestions as what to do, would grace any bookshop store ,And sell like hotcakes off the floor, Yours Ian.T

Julie,

(“Janice or Eduardo may have your clue.”) What a nice thing to do, I thank you for the mention in your poem< but me I'm sure that I haven't a clue. If anyone would have it, it would be you! You already have what your looking for, just read your work, it all lies there before your eyes for all to see! wonderful piece, the search for our self, always takes us away from where we really are, just go home and you'll find yourself there! thanks, Eddie Life is like a railroad track that leads to many junctures, if you stand on the track, Love comes speeding along and runs you over!! Splat!!!!

D D I got a message from Ink Dragon to look in on you which I will do. Well what a great idea to do a poem on the poets on site. This is a fun poem Thank you for the mention "Bright is the neon soul of Electric Blue" WoW amazing. I like to write on all subjects but ususally my heart on paper. but I love the elements too. Have you seen my poem Earthbound Spirit which is a tribute to my dear friend Kaz Purplemoondoll. Thank you my friend I just love to write and maybe one day I can attain to the wonderfull wordmanship of others on site. Always Electric Blue

What a great way to incorporate some very fine poets into a poem. From Maggie's neon soul, to Amartya saving the day, I enjoyed this piece through and through. Thank you for the mention of dwarf's infinite wisdom - though I prefer to think of it as infinite learning. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"Three things that take forever to get here: birthday, Christmas, and the pizza delivery boy." - Garfield the Cat

Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle The cow didn't quite clear the moon Which is udderly humiliating to her. *G* This is so sweet my friend and I am very glad Richard helped you. He's a good man. A bit old, but...*HEE HEE HEE* Anyway, you captured everyone pretty darn good and I love you and the others here also. A great place to be with great friends. It never ceases to amaze me how close you can get to people over this medium, especially at a poetry site like this one. I am impressed with the poem as it works really well! Paw is very impressed!

I'll stick to theme. You make your point clearly, with journeyman granny couplets--and, to judge by the number of comments, very effectively. Yes, even I would like to see your struggle with 'skumpfsklub'--but I suppose I'd actually have to say something USEFUL here for that to happen, eh? Not much chance of that. The granny couplet is subject to forgiving technical criteria, aside from the all-important criterion: "Does the reader get the theme/content?" And you nailed that one solidly. End of criticism. Cloudthings is the master of perfect granny couplets. No one does it better, but you seem to be moving toward her level. If you have not done so already, the most useful thing I can say is, "Do what she does, until she has to do what you do." Perry

How greatly I apologise to the Sister of the Sun

You will have to forgive me, but I must have been a bit in another world at the time not to have written to the correct author. Humblest apologies. You are so complementary about me and us all, we are glowing with feelings of love and happy to know that you think of us so. And to join in the praise of Richard who is ever faithful, there with his smile and his positive comments. Dear Julie, jumping in I mad a big mistake, but I meant it was a good tribute quand même! I have just called you all beautiful this breakfast time in Norway, and you all are too. With love, Ann
