Outside Wrappings
11 February, 2003
Author: Barbara Goodhew
Personality is like a gift.
Outside wrapping should give a lift.
But just like a gift our outside wrapping doesn't last.
You need something inside too, not just a pretty mask
Outside should want to make people want to unwrap and get in and find the real gift.
A gift should be nice outside and inside.
SO SHOULD WE.

| emily (10.0.0.187) -- Monday, December 1 2003, 07:16 pm thereb are somespelling misktakes that need to be worked on |
| barb (66.46.241.145) -- Tuesday, March 16 2004, 07:14 pm I looked over the poem and couldn't find any spelling mistakes, but if they are spelt wrong how would I know anyways.:) |
| Meridian (205.188.208.39) -- Tuesday, March 16 2004, 07:38 pm Inspite of one miscellaneous mistake, I know what you're trying to spell. I agree with Barbara; they aren't that noticeable. Emily, it's still good. On my poems, after submitting them to Dreamer and when I finally see them on the site, I look back over them and notice some mispelled words in my poems as well. I was thinking about e-mailing Dreamer to see if there was anyway of editing my poem. |
| Meridian (205.188.208.39) -- Tuesday, March 16 2004, 07:40 pm I thought this was Emily's poem. I realize this is yours. So where the name Emily is typed, that's where your name should be. Great poem again Barbara! |

| Meridian (205.188.116.7) -- Thursday, March 25 2004, 05:56 pm In spite of the criticism, she probably meant well, but you still had a made up mind, and was inspired by it to write another poem is powerful!!!!!! She'll probably thank you. I commend you and applaud you Barb! Have a nice day now!!!!!!! |
