Array ( [sid] => 23699 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Love at first sight [time] => 2003-09-23 16:05:00 [hometext] => In my teens and early twenties I ''fell'' in and out of love, Hollywood style, time and time again.
But there were three times when it hit me like POW! .........
I saw a program recently that exlpained how, over milllions of years of evolution, our senses have developed discernment and immediate direct reactions to produce this sensation. [bodytext] => ''Survival of the fittest''
(the universal game)
requires that we diversify
and don't all stay the same

Our senses have been highly tuned
and thus we can depend
they'll pick out any ''opposites''
that will achieve this end

It's not a matter needing thought
the brain is not required
the senses activate direct
the ''parts'' to be ''inspired''

I don't know if you girls ''enjoy''
a similar reaction
with me it was a warship
going into action

Radar spots a target!
alerts sound clear for action
engines up to full speed
all done in a fraction.........

The magazine is fully manned
the boilers get a stoke up
guns are trained and loaded
Captain ''Brain'' is woke up

In just about ten seconds
(give or take a ''midge'')
It's full speed into action with
NO CAPTAIN ON THE BRIDGE

Hi there Wrybod,
I've heard all about you.
I really enjoyed your poem too!
Hope you'll write a homophone, 'cause Norm is waiting to see who's going to win!
If you join us....his chances might be thin!

Nice meeting you!

Hello Bob,
I like this very much and I myself can
find many meanings in this even
though you manage to express it
with your usual classiness and wittiness.
I truly love your work and I hope one day
to gather enough life experiences to write
as well as you.

Very Sincerely
Lynn

I have to check my batteries
To see just how they work,
Certain things about the write
make me want to lurk.

If indeed the babes are pray
to cannonade and such
Things that happened in my past
didn't help me very much.

A captain on the bridge..no way
i'd rather creep at night
It's yes or no and thanks a lot
until I'm out of sight.

Your write is great, it's not too late
for me to change my way
No candy, flowers perfume, sir
Buy hormones from ebay.
