Virginia... stumbled across this in the Member Center and I loved it.
3 years later, your humor is still shining through, along with your gift of the written word.
I, for one, am most grateful.

Re: Good job (Reply to this comment)
by Granniemose
mostsurgeon - Thank you. I agree with you about the "forced rhyming". After reading it I had to force myself to keep from deleting it. The meter is wrong too, but - I decided to let it go anyway. I appreciate the constructive critique- and I do mean that. Thanks again.

To The Bard = Thank you. This is indeed sweet, coming from one who writes as you do. Thank you also for Judy's sake. Not to brag, but I think my daughter has a talent that far exceeds mine, and I must admit I am very, very proud of her, and of her daughter, Erinys. (They spell better too)

...I came late to the dance, but I came nonetheless to hear the reading from a wise mind; I’m impressed. I can see now where your daughter gets her wonderful gift of gab. I loved the poem dear lady, thank you for sharing.

Re: Wow.. (Reply to this comment)
by Granniemose
Thank you Rian. I sort of meant it to be funny - a study in irony. Like "be careful what you wish for" type of thing. I do appreciate the fact that you stopped by and left me the sweet comment and rate. Thank you.

Re: Still Plenty of Sap! (Reply to this comment)
by Granniemose
Darla - No, (chuckle) It is not really about me.
It is just a silly thing that is ironic. It is an example of my twisted sense of humor, sometimes. It is the sappy (pun intended) side of me that I sometimes display, often to my regret. Thanks for reading, and I appreciate the comments.

Still Plenty of Sap! (Reply to this comment)
by DAnneC
Virginia, this is beautiful, but I suspect there is still a good deal of sap in your leaf. Hang on. You have many friends and loved ones who need you. Tough somehow I don't think you were really writing about yourself.
Regards,
Darla

Hey Deas - You sweetheart you. Glad you caught the drift. When I wrote the silly thing, I thought I was being so funny - I admit my sense of humor is often off beat. Maybe that is why I enjoy you so much, Deas. Thank you.

Thank you, Carol, for stopping by, and for the comment. Sometime today I will go to your profile and read the Fall of Freddy. In the meantime, I am glad I'm home and warm in this crazy weather.

Irony is the painstaking ruin of all great plans, and the subtle pinch hitter on deck for comic relief and expansion...
A fun and witty ride GM, thanks for making me laugh tonight....

What a touching poem young lady! The first half reminded me of the book I reviewed some time ago called The Fall Of Freddie The Leaf.
You certainly know how to use your words. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, Susie. Thank you, Like George Burns said on his 95th birthday. He considered dying, but decided that had already been done - and he wanted to be original - all the time puffing on that big cigar.

Re: You have a singular wit... (Reply to this comment)
by Granniemose
Thanks, Mike. You got the point of what I was trying to get at (in my dark sort of way). I used to have the complete works of O'Henry - but it is lost somewhere in the course of all of our moving.
I wonder if that was the story I read about a long time ago about the kid trying to paste a leaf back on the tree? It was probably bouncing around in the back of my subconscious when I started the silly poem. I appreciate your always kind remarks more then I can say.

Gael - I thank you, my friend. I think God has a sense of humor. If he doesn't, I am in trouble.
He must have - for look at the wigs some of the TV evangelists wear.

Re: So true-I am living it now (Reply to this comment)
by Granniemose
Letta - I am so sorry to learn that Bill isn't doing so well. You have a burden, I know. I have been there with my husband. I know you will always hang on because you are needed. I do admire you. Yes, the poem is my own poor attempt, although I do remember a story I read a long time ago about a little girl trying to paste the leaf to a tree to keep her grandfather alive.

Barbara = Thank you. I did have the chocolate - and for a few minutes when my stomach told me I shouldn't have enjoyed it so much, I was sort of sorry I wrote that silly poem. I think I was being warned.

Re: Re: Re: Beautiful, Virginia (Reply to this comment)
by Granniemose
Lesley - I apologize to you. I should have realized that my little joke could be painful to someone who has someone who is suffering. In truth it was inspired by a cartoon someone sent me about. It was labeled a "Hypochondriac's tomb stone", and the gravestone was inscribed "Well, I kept telling you I was sick."
I wish you and your father well, and I am sorry.
You are so nice about it, that I am doubly ashamed.

....... (Reply to this comment)
by Vormancian
Curiously, it is generally when 'life' is least seen that it most exists. But, what is least seen is obviously what is easiest to overlook.
The secret to happiness (and a nice poem) is simply awareness of one's surroundings, but that never makes any sense to anyone.
Thanks for the poem.
Cheers!
