A Scam You Say

"It's a guy that scams the elderly out of their savings." "It's a dishonest fellow, telling me my car needs a major job done on it." "It's a fellow trying to make a quick profit at someone else's expense." "It's that woman that leaves a message on my phone everyday telling me the Government is after... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, Okay Then, A Couple More...

Interstellar Dust How can I tell you of my love when you will not listen? How can I show you how much I care when your thoughts are far away? I can only hold your memory to my shrinking heart, now like the rock core of a collapsing giant. My feelings spin like asteroids in their elliptical orbits,... Sign in to see full entry.

Seven Is Enough

My love will continue It goes with the venue and will last from here to yon, but love poems get boring and soon will cause snoring so as of now they are gone. Maybe tomorrow a Haiku. Sign in to see full entry.

Love Songs Of My Heart (Seven)

Only a memory, but so dear to my heart--I know that I have posted this one before, probably several times, and you probably remember it.

Love Songs Of My Heart (Five)

Together Apart No rainbow in the sky today, clear blue from here to yon, not one nimbus broke the span before the light was gone.

Love Songs Of My Heart (Three)

Your Love/My Love Your love is like the ocean waves that beat upon the sandy shore and wash away the evidence that others walked before. My love is like new fallen snow that covers as a net and makes pristine the blemished path you traveled ere we met. Our love is now, all gone the past-- we come... Sign in to see full entry.

Love Songs Of My Heart (Two)

I had fun with this one after a date gone wrong. A man who prided himself on never, never being late for anything at all, was very, very (hours) late, in the days before cellphones, and I became very, very worried, after being first very put out.
