Have you ever been on the verge of something brilliant when you were suddenly interrupted? In a different vein, have you ever read a story and felt like, between the lines, you gained insight into current events in the writer's life?
A few weeks ago my mom was here. With her she brought a small box which held random papers and things from long ago that belonged to me. To be honest, I'll get rid of most of it, but I did happen upon something a little different than the other forgotten-significance artifacts. My highly-honed handwriting analysis skills tell me that I penned this around age five or six. I've had a request for more poetry; I hope this gives some intellectual satisfaction.
(Translation: A Poem Written by Alison Raymond
The world so beautiful
and the flowers are growing
when-I-go-2-bed-I-don't-like-2
The End.)
Can't a writer catch a break? Speaking of breaks, I hope everyone has a good weekend.

LOL! That is really sweet, Alison! You were a brilliant writer even then...now what is the symbolism of the numeral 2's rather than having them written out...hmmmm... smiles!
Great poem Alison!
I hope 2 be that good some day.
One--oops, "1" can only aspire.
And how things change as we get older, right? Such as after a long day like today, I would rewrite it, "When I go to bed I li...zzzzzzzzz."
If you haven't had a chance, you might look at David's last comment on the last post. It's the greatest.
Nice pun Alison! I was better off before I knew the trurh about Will - no offense intended - it just makes things a little strange when you find out that The Greatest American Hero is actually a gun carrying Christian romance novelist.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I'm the older sister
and you're number 2
LOL! Poetic talent obviously runs in the family... smiles!
