I survived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi folks : Well the Gasocpy showed the problems it was meant to detect and I'm still alive ! So here's this weeks poem:

Throat spray

by Lawrence R. Berger

In side the hospital

they take my name and numbers

two hours later I see the anesthetist

and we go for the lungs.

I can see the lights of the surgical bay

and they are the last things that I see

before I close my eyes .

when next I open them

I'm in the recovery room

I see a clock that tells me the procedure

took about ten minuets after subtracting

the shedualed recovery time

I'm pissed but still groggy

so i keep my mouth shut

they hand me my clothes

and I get dressed to go home

Half an hour later it get my ride and leave the hospital

I get home

make my follow up appointments

and eat an egg salad sandwich

Life has its moments.

not bad for just out of surgery eh?

Oh and by the way, check out my new website at: www.skysaje.com

if you get the chance.

and so it begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi folks : Thanks again for all your support and feed back! you'll find that I've Incorporated your suggestions starting this week. That being said, here's this weeks poem:

Sharing

By Lawrence R. Berger

Together we stand

united this world .
One watches out for another
and forms the bond of love
to produce the next generation.

Years pass and days grow into
them like the mighty oak grows from a tiny
Acorn. Sooner or later the journey ends
and till then we find ourselves
forever learning and never
coming to the knowledge of the fact that
it's the journey that makes like worth living!
thank you for sharing mine!

Hi folks : It's that time again. so here goes this weeks post:

Seahorses

By Lawrence R. Berger

Waves call like sirens of ancient legend

to those who would concur nature's wrath.

The sun shines on their taned and toned

bodies as they splash their way to immortality

Others dive to plumb the depths

of the abyss and find new creatures

to feed the rest of us.

Still others seek the gold found

in treasures of the past

buried deep beneath the waves

( c)Lawrence R. Berger

Sunflower
By Lawrence R. Berger

Touched by the Gods

she carries her obsession.

Following the sunrise

with the fruits of her tears.

Hour by hour she followes her lover across the sky

Mourning him through the darkness

till he returns with the dawn.

and her name is Sunflower.

(c) 1999 Lawrence R. Berger
