Thank you alien boy for posting. I have downloaded and it is so wonderful. �Thank you life_line!! �Here is a little poem written by an uncle of mine. �I learned it as a child.

The Vagabond Dreamer. �(D.J.O �Sullivan)

I dreamt last night as I lay asleep
That I had ten-thousand bowmen to keep
For I was the king of an ancient race
Oh! the wine and the food in my palace!

But when I awoke feeling cold and sore
My pillow... the step of a backstreet door
I recalled my dream in the light of day
I laughed aloud as I crept away.

Hope you like it.

Caroline.�Hug

If poetry is the topic today, you can add this to your collection : I wrote it myself for the topic � holidays �. Is it bad? And, by the way, do you think it is correct to say � I felt bad � ? badly would be more correct... am I right?


A TRIP TO SPAIN

 

Last year I went

On a trip to Spain

On a day with wind

And a lot of rain

 

I went by plane

To get there faster

I met a girl

What a disaster!

 

Her name was Mary

And she was Greek

Beautiful as a fairy

I gave her a sweet

 

How happy she was!

She smiled at me

And I could almost see

 the Land of Oz!

 

We talked for hours

And in love I fell

I told her that

But she : all shell.

 

 

 

I touched her cheeks

Then kissed her lips

But oh, bad dream,

She started to scream!

 

I said �I�m sorry�

But it was too late

She slapped my face

What a disgrace!

 

When the plane landed

My cheek was red

She went away

And I felt bad!

 

The tour of Spain

I spent in pain

Then I broke a bone

So I went home!

thanks life_line for �contributing a verse � to the site

"we don�t read and write poetry because it�s cute. We read and write poetry because we�re members of the human race and the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business and engineering are necessary to stay in life, but poetry, beauty, romance, love .. these are what we stay alive for. We are here and life exists. The powerful games goes on and you may contribute a verse."

(from "The Dead Poets Society" - film)

btw, Caroline, i liked your choice ...
