I write this while you live,

is when we should give flowers,
They are wasted on the dead.

I say
plant a tree
to mark a grave,
an oak or elm,

or, in your case
a maple,

Hello, everyone. Mary Ann informs me that on her computer in the voting for Poll 10 the first line of her poem is not showing up on her computer. It is on mine and on Sarah's so I thought I'd just repost it here and if you should have problems please read her poem here in its entirety before voting.

I particularly like to do this to mark special events both happy and challenging. I suppose it is very much like a poetic diary of the feelings and events of my life that those friends and family will have long after I am gone. It can be particularly important if I should pass on before... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Hephaestion2) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/18543 Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:04:45 GMT http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/18542/t/Risk-11-Please-post-above-in-the-Current-Challenge-box-Ed.html Risk 11- which I will also post in the CURRENT CHALLENGE BOX ABOVE.
