"The good writer seems to be writing about himself, but has his eye always on that thread of the Universe which runs through himself and all things." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Wait until you are hungry to say something, until there is an aching in you to speak."
~Natalie Goldberg
"Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain." ~ Billie Holiday
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It has rained and rained all day.. I have piddled around inside.. pickling quail eggs and besides that doing not much of anything all day.. I went through some old pictures..I have planned the foods I will carry to the poetry club feast tomorrow night and even wrote the poems that they assigned for us to bring with us.. I even wrote a poem for my class on AllPoetry.com.. I had waited and waited for months before writing this poem.. It wasn't that I didn't understand the concept.. I just couldn't decide on two words..
Acrosteleostics~ the third form of acrostic poem.. two words or two messages..one highlighted on each side..
I know the words love and hate have been used poetically for centuries.. I racked my brain to think of different words.. finally today as the rain fell outside I just wrote the poem that came to me when I first got the assignment.. I like it.. I hope you do to.. have a great day!

What a Difference a Day Makes
Loyal listener.. perfect friend..
keeper of my secrets..
I feared you knew not your wortH!
Offering your shoulder...
my burdens to bear..
How we laughed at life's DramA.
Velvet lies dripped from your tongue..
enticing a confession of my Love..
I prayed that we never parT.
Enchanted by your smile..
infatuated by your embrace..
I gave to you my lovE
-----------------
How could you..
You knew what my heart felt..
I loved you so welL.
Affection dead and buried..
remorse holds my hand..
my trust just an empty echO.
Tenderness has deserted me..
callousness floods my soul..
I would have your heart on a shiV.
Emotionless I see the real you..
my devotion dead..vengeance flickers
I step across the fine line
I shower you with hatE!
