Baywind Farm - A Poem

[Gypsy Rose]

Baywind Farm is our new home
From our old forum we did roam

It crashed on us a time or two
And left us all just really blue

The WB's offered to share
Their help to fix the old software

But they got turned down flat, you see
They got told to leave things be

So they just said "Well what the hay!"
Lets make our own, starting today

A new forum they did create
It was a day to celebrate

They brought back edit and delete
and gave us all a place to meet

So here we are at Baywind Farm
Where things are working like a charm

Where forum friends can meet again
Never to be lost again

So thank you WBay and Boy
For giving all our hearts such joy

May Baywind Farm itself someday
Be as real as this forum is today

[sugarsgirl]

That was great! :)

[Pinky]

:clap: Very well said :]

[Gypsy Rose]

Thanks! Kind of funny- I was just sitting here going through the forum, and the first lines came to me- had to think a bit to get the rest right.

Wierd, because I'm usually lousy at poems!

[lovnforkfull]

Well done! :)

[WashingtonBay]

:) Well when you say it it sounds like poetry. :)

:clap::clap::clap::clap: Great Poem.

[doc_western]

:popcorn: great poetry, and very well said. bravo!!:clap::clap:

[WashingtonBay]

Indeed! Thanks Gypsy Rose! :) :) :)

[Gypsy Rose]

Thanks, everyone! Too bad I couldn't have done a decent one when I was in school and being graded on it! Of course, maybe it was because then I was under pressure- this time, I figured it would either come out right, or I could always delete it if it didn't, he,he! No one would have been the wiser!

[cloedoll]

Aweeeee!!

[Gypsy Rose]

You're welcome, WB! This forum really means a lot to me. Horse.com was the first forum I joined, and I have made many friends there. When the forum went down, I had another place to go, but it just isn't the same as my forum family here. We're a lot more close knit.

Laugh! I think it would have passed on most a professor's watch - great poem!

[Sundays Man]

Gypsy, you're a poet and I didn't know it. That's good stuff. Thanks, my sentiments exactly.

GR, now you have to come up with a haiku for BFF!:)

[Remali]

That was great Gypsy Rose, you really write very well!

[WashingtonBay]

You're welcome, WB! This forum really means a lot to me.

We're just thrilled that everyone has settled in and feels so at home here. :)

What's a haiku?

[cheval]

That was REALL good! And true.

[TheBadLands]

I love it!

[rocknK]

Haiku is 3 line japanese poetry. How about iambic pentameter instead!:cowboy:

:huh:Whaaaa? Now you really lost me, lol!

[Remali]

Now I wanna see an example of haiku......... it sounds neat!

[luv2show]

WOOHOO! Awesome!

:nono: Oh no - you can't go throwing out those words that bring scary memories of MEAN teachers, without showing us an example of each! I got Haiku but for the life of me I can't remember the iambic pentameter...

Gypsy - that was a beautiful poem, how nice of you to take the time!:clap:

[rocknK]

Remember a fella named Shakespere?? He not only wrote poetry in iambic pentameter but plays as well! There is your culture & history lesson all rolled into one for the night!:p

Agreed! Examples are only fair!

Sedona, it was really different how it came about- like I said earlier, normally things like that don't come easily- I had the first few lines down in about 5 minutes, and the whole thing in under half an hour.

I don't know what I was reading here on the forum at the time, but I got up to get something to eat, and the first lines hit me.

Enjoy, everyone. I don't know if I'll ever be able to do something like this again. Maybe it was because it's from the heart- who knows!

Thanks to everyone for the compliments!:)

Now I know why I didn't remember, lol!:p Back at ya!:D

That's the funny thing. I'm not usually into poetry and prose and all that stuff.

Maybe it's the classics I'm not into, who knows? I'm not a big fan of classical music for instance. Give me good 'ole Classic Rock any day.

Guess I'm just too modern thinking, lol!

Woohoo - VERY impressive!:)

[Gypsy Rose]

Oh, yeah- now I have a vague memory of that kind of stuff- never could get the hang of it, lol!

I have to admit that's pretty impressive stuff, as Sedona said!

[vicklynn]

How sweet. ((HUGS))WB and WB..

[Gypsy Rose]

Thanks, Vicky! I thought I'd bump this up for anyone who might have been gone for the weekend and missed it!

Shakespere was a Jap? :cowboy:

[mtnmollie]

Thanks for the bump Gypse Rose! Great stuff. Whooh- whoo- :cowboy:

GREAT!

[rocknK]

Never ever mix metaphors, haikus & iambic pentameters with whiskey. The results can be catasrtrophic!!:nono:

[Gypsy Rose]

:hysterical: ROFLMAO!!! Too funny!

[Ms Eddi]

Very good, I loved it.
