| WORD CHALLENGE
In the hopes of stimulating this board again, I'm going to post a word challenge, you can enter as often as you like. It will run until May 31st, but you can always add to it at anytime. (See Challenge board on the list). How it works: I give you a list of 10 words and you must use at least 6 out of 10, preferably all 10 if possible. The poems must make sense. This week there is no poem size limit. Poem style - your choice. It's up to you, whether you want to write structured or unstructed, rhymed or no rhyme. The words can be used singular or plural or as a possessive, but no other changes. Hope you all join in! ********************

|  My Love, you are my treasure;
More than diamonds and gold.
My wealth is in your caress,
And all the love a heart can hold. An ocean lays before me,
And as I look out to sea,
I know that time is measured,
In the love you've given me. The second that you kissed me,
Loneliness abandoned me.
Our love is vast and endless,
And will last for Eternity. anita callender2006 all rights reserved | |

Ack....okay Sassy you said I should try this so here is my go ...lol I once went searching for a treasure
Deep within myself
I yearned to find the gold of time
so I could feel the wealth...
I left on a journey to find my soul
Over land, sky and ocean waves
I searched high and I searched low
In long forgotten caves.
My journey end it did spring at last
As all of you might know
it wasn't filled with diamonds, gems
and most certainly not with gold.
It came to me on a deep dark night
Like a caress upon my brain
that told me all I need to know
to be a respectable human being.
Wealth is to recognize that all
Are equal to one another
None of them are second best
They are all a brother.
Compassion, caring, forgiving beings
all without any measure
are the ones who are the richest
and really sport the treasure.

My Treasures
S. Cat May 30/06
My eyes close in sweet rememberance
Baby soap tang, caress of my child's hand
Years have passed, tears spring to my eyes
This indescribable feeling, it's second to none
Diamonds and gold, no, I don't need them
Nor a chest brimming with endless treasure
I've had a vast ocean of hugs and smiles
That's been my wealth beyond measure.
