	Ah... and such a poignant arrow in your quiver, Doug! As the Lord said to the aging welder, "Weld on, thou good and faithful servant; enter into the joy of thy Lord." deLightingly, Daniel 8) P.S. I do think this might be more effective without the boldface and without each line capitalized, which to me is very distracting from the flow of a rictameter ( and so far as I know, there is no ancient historical precedent for doing so ? )... perhaps both my own personal prejucices, of course. Maybe revisited something like this: Quote: One Act Play distant clouds gathering as if to watch a play— My Quivery Life, on exhibit in-the-round in high-def digital sound From the Portico of Heaven front row baclony seats view a tragic show of smiles

	diane there's no perhaps about r i c t a m e t e r with this iambic feat of yours; it is a paramount example, too, of sensitivity that wants a soul to understand what happens in diane

	I'm pooped I’m tired you understand because you’ve been there too I’m sure; except that each of us experiences “weary” different ways. So that to say you’re tired may not mean quite the same as when you hear me say “I’m tired”

	Marriage Marriage is more than words sealed with a ring and kiss solemnized, witnessed by good friends who celebrate with tossed rice and dancing; it's an hour-by-hour commitment for hand to share with heart while both flesh out marriage © MLee Dickens'son 26 Feb 2007

	Alcor - Mizar My love, When you’d left me, I'd always reach and grab a slice of moon and hold it close. For all those years, I’d roll the stars like dice, and place my bet on Big Dipper. I dreamed I'd see us there: Alcor – Mizar, my love © Norman S. Pollack

	Quote: bumps Yes, it is in here, it didn't disappear... Salem Looks like both you and Jess have been busy! I hope you'll both watch out for this forum in my absence, catching up with paperwork at my job and then the operation when I won't even be here for a while. I don't even have time to read all of Jess' entries right now! Waaaaaa Keep 'im honest, will ya? deLightedly, Daniel 8) While I'm here, here's one I wrote today: Death’s Blind Faith “No Death?” Eye’d move away to sense reel life… apart from God, who’d better save His Breath. No guilt… I’d feel exhilaration’s thrill to fly on eagle’s wing… then realized too late… without His wind I’m fallin’… Oh no! Death. © Daniel J Ricketts 23 Nov 2003
