    vkmack: I will miss this wonderful lady, and I wanted to repost one of her poems here. The last two lines speak volumes.

    No Blink No Murmur

    I feel dreamy
    when I hear rain drumming.
    Time with all its faults
    seems less insistent then.

    The night-long drip, drip
    on window sills and stone steps,
    drenches weedy gardens
    and over brims puddles.

    Rain drops hurry
    through hushed air
    then rest on my
    hair and lashes.
    Its damp opulence
    falls quietly
    without a blink or murmur.

    When rains slow
    and stars emerge
    I face up into
    a Picasso sky.

    I dream with ease
    under glinting eyes of heaven. -
    Dom G Robles: Hi, Chey, I had been idle for awhile until I thought of putting my feelings again. I had been missing your great poems. I had always been thinking of you and your words of endearment. Take care and have a belated greetings from me for a very Merry Christmas and and a Prosperous New Year. Dom -
    Dom G Robles: A note to my wife, Rose.

    I cannot conceive of a better idea and time than today to give you my deepest gratitude for having you as my wife, Rose. We had gone through the years through thick and thin. You had been very good to me. When I was at your bedside and seeing you with all the problems--the hard breathing, all the tubes attached to you, I could not take it and did not watch you in your last moments. while all the relatives watched you all along. But if I did not watch you at your last moments and still you had your senses then, I did not abandon you, lady.
    I was with you solid for seventeen days in the hospital before you passed away. The doctor was asking me if I wanted to pull the plug --the greatest challenge of my life. I could not decide and the family decided for me. I went to the bathroom and prayed so hard and then you went away. Pretty lady-- you left a void in my life. I tried to save your soul that was moving away hoping that you would hung on, hung on but you went away like a dream. Now, it is my turn. And if you are listening I'll join you pretty soon. -
    jppoet: Dear Chey, to let you know I am back on Fanstory after a year or so break. Havent seen any of your poems since I rejoined. I would be interested in your comments about my poem VALENTINE'S DAY in the VALENTINE POETRY contest. Now an ALL TIME BEST, I think you will like it. Blessings, John -

    ulster3: People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
    If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
    If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
    What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
    If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
    The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
    Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.

cheyennewy: I think it is about time I explained something. I have a habit of taking poetic license! Those that know me are use to my peculiar ways. I imagine they sigh and say "there she goes again." It's important for you to know I love everyone that takes the time to read and review my poems. Many thanks to all.
    Eternal Muse: I love your ways, dearest Chey, and your poetic license, with your huge talent, almost makes it a law! (big smile) -
    Margaret Snowdon: I like your ways -- always, your work is a pleasure to read -- and ye, I know I sound like a broken record, but I only say what I mean. As for my own ways, you know I suddenly take time out from my nature poems, and write something entirely different just to shock - particularly when I wrote the horror story. Hugs. Margaret x -

    rama devi: Congrats again on your win, dear Chey. I love poetic license when tastefully achieved...as yours tend to be! Usually, I will only point out discrepancies when I feel they do not work well...but your writing is so tasteful, I think that would be mighty rare indeed.

    livelylinda: chey, congratulations on you win! I would never doubt that you would win any contest you enter. As far as poetic license, that is what keeps poetry fresh and a little loose rather than uptight, carbon copies of each other. I am very proud to know you and be in the company of such a wondrous wordsmith. livelylinda
