Wishing You A Merry Christmas

A

Blessings during

this joyous season is

what everyone should deliver

to his fellowman, a glow of love

is what should be given in return.

For we each have gifts within ourselves

that cannot be purchased, gifts that have

been instilled within us from the time of our

births, deliver

Only true gift, a

Gift of Love



Wishing You All A Safe

and Blessed Holiday Season

Roxanne, thank you for responding and taking a look at my profile. How did you find this site?

Hi Roxanne. Nice to meet you. I love the fact that you believe poets should be wearing Prada. I published my first book of poetry last year, and I'm about halfway through my second. I am also a biblical storyteller, so I love your audio Mother of Moses. I look forward to further communication with you.

I hear ya Rovanne! It was through poetry that my passion for writing came about.
At 5:55pm on July 15, 2008, Tonny Brown said…
I thank you for your friendship! When I was younger I wrote a book of poems, even won a poetry contest. I think it was through the trials of becoming a man that made poetry my passion at that time in my life. But I am a huge fan of all poetry.
