Leaves are Green and Pears are Fruity

Roses are red
Violets are blue
---
Strawberries are sweet and so are you
---
leaves are green
and pears are fruity
---
Glad you are calling me nutty..
---
barking dogs seldom bites. I know this only
---
Because they call me Lefty...
---
things are never right
---
rocks are grey and brown and red
it's so late now i'm going to bed
---
6 past midnight, Im leaving too, so I'll bid you goodnight, and sweet dreams to you. hugs from Argentina
---
Roses are red
Grass is green
Don't sit too close to your
Computer screen
---
clever, clever, clever
---
conscientous am I, never
---
the sand is brownish
the ocean is blue
sending best wishes
back out to you

The Sun and the Clear Pebbles of the Rain

This was the only message in the bottle when I opened it. It felt to
me like a swallow of Southern Comfort - powerful and with a great
after-glow. So, I wanted to post it here for everyone.

Sunny

"You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the
desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across
the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading
home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting, over and over
announcing your place
in the family of things."
--Mary Oliver
