I liked Poem 1 the most. It put me to smile and it had some wisdom too. Juicy herrings is the best way to calm down any angry female. :D

Hello All,
I enjoyed all the poems very much. Poem 7 was my favorite -- just a wonderful rhythm to it. Congratulations to Tuba for touching everyone's hearts and winning it all :D
Anatolian, I'm glad you liked my poem! There's a story behind it: Several years ago, while I was helping my mother and step-father move into a new house, I found a very interesting medallion on a chain. It was plain metal, with a beautiful design on the front, and on the back it read: "To Bev, from Roy, with love." This was a gift that my father had handmade for my mother when they were young. My father died of brain cancer when I was 6 years old, so finding something like that meant a lot to me. I was going through some very tough times, and I used the experience as an inspiration to push me forward. Writing that poem was very spiritual for me.
Thanks all for reading and contributing to this celebration of poetry. Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

Anatolian,
My friend, I replied quickly to your first post, and I didn't realize that Poem #7 was your poem! I read it to my wife this morning, and she enjoyed it very much, too. "Allah is with the lovers." Lovely :)
