    raindrops
    little silver
    gifts from God
    reviving life

    A bud,
    No, look!
    A tiny tomato grows!
    I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

    Dear Members,

    I weep,

    For a day lost in ambience.

    She twirls,
    orbiting
    for that moment
    the universe
    quoth the raven, "Nevermore."

    Eight words
    will never do
    in place
    of nine

    Longing
    for you
    I tremble
    at the distance

    Did you mean, perhaps
    Those who can NOT count
    write poetry instead
    ?

    Or maybe...

    Those who can't count
    just plain can't count
    ?

    Or...

    Never use seven words
    where eight will doj
    ?
