GOD LIFTS ME UP ~ AMEN !
orchidee said:

It\'s Long Metre (8888 = LM). Found a tune: Gelobt Sei Gott [God be Praised]. Hymn: \'Christ is the King! O friends upraise\'.
There are 3 lines of 8 syllables each verse, plus a line of three \'Alleluias\' as the last line of each verse.
Need one more line for the last verse! I can get a bit formal and waffly though!

Wonderful sunday write Brian. With the world the way it is, I think we all need to be reminded that God is by our side. (footprints in the sand does apply well as Fred aptly said)--Spiritual hugs-Christina

A fine psalm-poem Brian. There\'s a danger I may find a tune to it, then sing it! Meoowwo! lol.

FredPeyer said:

Remember that story where Jesus said I always walk with you, and the man said I only see one set of foot prints in the sand, and Jesus said that was when I was carrying you!
Kind of fits your poem.

I must say, Brian, you picked the right one! Great poem, she must have helped you a lot!
I signed up on this internet muse referral service, where you answer a hundred questions and they will match you with the perfect muse, but haven\'t found anybody yet.

What a lovely gift from you two. This is beautiful and fun too. I was watching the series about Einstein the genius not long ago. I love to study and my main interest now is the quantum physics but I like chemistry too. I dye fabrics and need to use some chemicals to make it stabilized. Like to use organic dyes home made for just small amount of fabric. Thanks Brian and Santita.

Hi Brian! Nice tankas. You both did very well in this together. I\'m not that old but I swear I don\'t remember a few of these elements in the periodic table! Very good Brian and Santita!

Well done, you two! But the subject matter is something I don\'t want to see in my spare time. Have enough to do with it during working hours!

Good write there. Doh! I was OK until I got to the oxygen verse, then I needed some cos of a swoon!
Also, I tried doing without oxygen for 24 hours - a whole day. It was rather bad for my health. I\'m dead now! oohh.

This really took me back, I was an analytical chemist at the start of my career and the number of elements in the Periodic Table was only 104.

Casual Sex did it for me Brian - - how can it ever be casual !! A clever set of Oxymorons on the word love - - well penned.

TEN OXYMORONS ~ ON LOVE !
malubotelho said:

Great fun write baby Brian. Like you said we always want to make harmless things not so ok to do. I had an amicable divorce that my ex never signed. We are good friends now. He keeps calling me everyday.

TEN OXYMORONS ~ ON LOVE !
Azura Nightsong said:

Some of these make me laugh terribly hard. (And since I\'m in English class I probably shouldn\'t(don\'t worry I\'m done with my work)) The others are kind of sad, but they are truths people need to learn. I enjoyed this greatly.


However, there is such thing as a break up at least that ends up with still being friends, my parents an example, which I am so thankful for.

TEN OXYMORONS ~ ON LOVE !
Christina8 said:

I have to agree with GF on the amicable divorce one--I have known quite a few people to get along with ex\'s. But there are quite a few good ones in here! i just can\'t pick one as my favorite. Great job! Sisterly hugs--Christina

A fine write B. As I\'m millions of years old, I would know about positions! Did I pass on my experience to you, for that line?! heehee.

Awfully nice poem Brian.

TEN OXYMORONS ~ ON LOVE !
Goldfinch60 said:

Some good writes but I would disagree with \'amicable divorce\' I am divorced from my first wife 38 years ago but still we talk to each other and in fact she and her husband and Joyce and myself have got together many times over the years without any acrimony, we both remarried in the same year, 1981.

FredPeyer said:

You got me thinking, Brian. There must be a lot more of these relationship oxymorons in our every day life. Well penned!

DISJOINTED LOVE ~ A GHAZAL
FredPeyer said:

Brian, while very well written (and funny!), and containing the original subject matter of a Ghazal (love, separtion, pain of love), it does not seem to follow the original form of couplets with the second line rhyming with the original stanza.
But hey, as a poet you have artistic freedom, and no matter what, I do love it!
