[hometext] => It's much easier if you are born in an english speaking country
[bodytext] => I think the guy who used the term, 'He wants to steal my thunder' Unless the meaning is quite clear, He must have made a blunder. The guy who said, "Give me five" He also makes me wonder, Wants he, me, to take five days To sit around and ponder? I've heard the ladies often say, "Her skin's like peach and cream," The meaning: She's a fuzzy face The cat licks in a dream. It was said by someone once , "Would you hold your horses?" A guy like me from metro town, Knows not what form a horse is. How about the one who says, "I'll see you in a minute", Are they saying they'll take a mo' And put you right within it? Like one time a gent, he said, "Hey, Mister, You're a pip!" A pip, indeed, a little seed It made me want to flip. And on and on the language goes, I don't know where it's heading, How we ever learned these idioms, I guess it's schools abetting. People come from foreign lands, It's english, they should learn, They'll be here fifty years or more before they will discern.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
