of all the poets I admire
there’s one that is the best
some wish that she would just retire
some think that she’s a pest
I try my best with poems I write
in contests that she holds for spite
I try my best
I try my best
but Lane thinks that I’m not too bright
of all the poets I admire
there’s one that stands alone
and in my dreams I do aspire
to be a Laney clone
I wrote a poem for her contest
I really thought it was the best
I wrote a poem
I wrote a poem
but Lane was not one bit impressed
of all the poets I admire
there’s one who can not judge
of all the judges I would fire
it’s Lane who holds a grudge
a little note is all I ask
when she puts on her judges mask
a little note
a little note
a note for me's too great a task

There are times when we live in doubt, we never seem to understand the power that lies deep within our hearts that only our very own fingertips do translate.
For you know each and every word I have ever written has left my mind with the touch of my right thumb.
Were would I be if not for that limb and yet even in the knowing I am still always in doubt that any word is worthy of that right of passage.

Lovely tribute...mystic
-
Fun piece with the wonderful use of form that I enjoy in all your poems that I read. (I know it's an anonymous contest, but what can I do if the style and quality makes it clear who the author is.)

Amera,
You must have been reading my mind. She quit reading mine for a while, and I thought she had left for France. Come to find out she was just up north.(You know them Yankees=)

Gosh, I hope they do not fire Lane AP. would be a duller place without her beautiful elegant poetry. Lane is a purveyor of delightful dreams, whilst you dear Amera give us clever, clever poetry in wonderful forms with audacious rhymes. I expect when Lane reads your poem she will be contrite and pen a grovelling apology full of references to your poetic genius.
Love, Peter

I use the Fire Lane here when the traffic gets congested at odd times when I'm in the Pathfinder as I have a blue flashing light from my days with Search and rescue. And no, I did not steal it from K-Mart! LOL!
love ya cubbie,

Hey! She stopped commenting on mine first. Maybe it's contagious. I think we need to get together and come up with a few conspiracy theories. As soon as I stop giggling, I'll send you a PM of possiblities.

You are a Brilliant poet,and whoever doesnt coment may be your hidden enemy,or just plain jealous and envious!
And maybe not,lol.had 2 add that before I becum her target.lol.
Hey lady..whoeva u are,take a chill pill,this is meant in jest!

Yer.her name was Miss Lane.true.
Enjoyd this.

I'm far from a hidden enemy but you are right...I am jealous of Amera's brilliance when it comes to poetry/form. She is one of a kind, and the sweetest girl. You better run before I clobber you (j/k) Love, Lane

Ouch
Now that was painful,what did you use,that platform shoe.lol

Hehe…. Lane truly is my dear friend and she’s one of the few people I can burn like this and not take offence. What I’m afraid of is the payback! LOL
-
-
Oh she just has to comment on this!
-
-
She might not comment but she most certainly will tie me up and spank me.
-
-
Sis, she'll have to get past me first!
-
-
i'll just tie you up and spank you first, Mairi

Did you erase this? I could have sworn, I commented once. It made me laugh the first time.
-
Made me laugh.
-
yes very cute
-
And have you read her latest?
Why can't I write like that,
but then
Why can't I write like you!!!
Too good by half and a bit
Both of you make me vacillate between thoughts of quitting and redoubling my efforts to learn to write.
And I notice you qualified to write in her gold winners contest
I love this!
Jeff
-
Fire Lane made me see heat and passion! But still a neat poem, lovely form and a cute message - hope it works for you!
