I had to put my name down. My other two posts didn't have my name at the bottom of the poems.
Here is my edited version of "Cherished Moments"


"Cherished Moments"

The stage is filled with spotlights
Millions of people are watching
Very excited, very nervous
Her name is announced

She stands at the Center of the Stage
Feeling proud
Ready to Sing to Me
Like an Angel ready to Spread its Wings

Her Soothing Voice Touches my Heart
Fills me with Peace
Brings me Happiness
And soars like a Shining Star across the Galaxy

I clap, feeling Grateful
With such wonder
How this Incredible Singer came to be
Her beautiful smile very touching
A Moment forever Cherished!

I also have a second poem for Katharine! Enjoy.

"Happy"

You make me feel so happy
Your voice
Is like a Diamond with a Million Sparkles
Reflecting upon me

A beautiful White Light
Shines upon you
So Heavenly and Peaceful
Chasing the Dark Clouds Away

You have a Heart of Gold
A Kindness to your Soul
The Caring of others
That Melts my Heart Away

You make me feel so happy
In more ways then one
But one way to sum it up
Is that you will always be Number One

Dear Gary,

After giving it some thought, I would like it if my poem is not included in this project (Phantom Emotion). I haven't been able to work on it, and it's not where it should be. I would have really liked to be included in this, but I don't feel my material is up to par (I wrote two other ones). Thanks for your advice though!

Jasmine


P.S. I LOVE those Steve.

"4 walls and no you. The silence in this room is so loud...wow"--Kat McPhee, I Lost You

"I didn't see the crash that burnt the bridge, didn't see the missile that sank my loveship down..."--Kat McPhee, Dangerous

"Wanting you to be wanting me, no that ain't no way to be...You never were a friend of mine..."--Kat McPhee, Over It

"No more lonely nights to hurt me, no more tears left to spare, no more reasons to be unhappy. You threw them all up in the air..."--Kat McPhee, Each Other

"Your pedicure, white-tipped French. Your legs don't make no sense...Shoes like these make me hate flats..."--Kat McPhee, Open Toes

    Shining Star


Sometimes people would look up to you
And want to reach out
But they just can't, coz you're up there
And they're far beyond from where you stand.

Some would try to go where you are
Just to catch a glimpse of you
And just by the wave of your hand
Is enough to make them smile.

Some would save money
To buy the magazines with your photo & story
It’s like seeing you real close
And it makes them happy.

Some would write to you
Though not very sure
If the letter reaches your hands
Or still waiting outside your door.

It’s like you’re the star in the night
Shining so bright
It’s nice to look up and make a wish
Though, it is out of reach.

So they tend to go on wishing
That one day you’ll take time
To reach to them
Even just for a while.

So take time if you will
You’ll see how it’ll make them feel.
Show them that you care
That our Shining Star is for real.

Oh no, Jasmine. I'm not letting you off the poetic hook that easily! I really want to include your poem. It is original, it is VERY good, and it is needed to balance other types of poems.

Could you e-mail me at worksite@msn.com to discuss, or post your e-mail for me to write to you?

Thanks much,

Gary

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for these.

I'd like to ask you something. I'm curious about your decision to now capitalize all those words for emphasis (earlier version below). What made you go in that direction? I'll admit that this is not my taste in poetry; I believe it distracts from the gentle message of the poem. Capital letters shout: Hey Look at Me, instead of allowing the poem to speak for itself. Of course, it is your decision and I'm open to learning why it works for you. Either way, your contribution is appreciated!

Best,

Gary

Here's my e-mail address: nsync777@bellsouth.net

Here's the poem again, so you don't have to search for it. As you can see, I have been unable to work on those points you directed me on (aside from the italics):


                                           Phantom Emotion

 

“I am almost ready”

 

Memories denied that were forever there

Lend reason to that uncounted-for emotion

That specter of ill-feeling

 

Her nightmare has lost its roots

 

And so she dangles

We witness the ghost of past struggle

Shrivel its optimistic host

 

“I no longer believe”

 

So time rests

As she is forced to recover

Yet finds nothing

Save that artificial savior

Refuge within the self

 

“Dreams are gospel,” she says

 

“Words are pointless…”

 

“Reliance on others is futile…”

 

So emotional guards once constricted

Are deemed unmovable

 

But intrudes a voice

 

Watch as it seeps in unnoticed

Pierces the fragile, the unbeknownst confusion

Hear it complete that process rushed

And save a life

 

“It is done”

 

Voice of invisible substance, mystic effect

Fills a void for the lonely

A balm for shallow healing

 

I’ve felt it soar below my barrier of grief

And force a lost heart to confront fears forgotten

The aftermath that followed the ghost of mourning

These things take time

 

But I am no longer alone

 

 

 But isn't it past the deadline now?

Katharine Hope McPhee
Always makes you smile or shed tears of joy whenever she performs
Touches your heart everytime she sings
Has so much talent, beauty, and sweetness in her
A beautiful smile that touches you
Rising star
Is my American Idol and no one can change that
Never lets her fans down
Ever so proud to call myself a Katharine McPhee fan


- I hope its not too late to submit the poem ( I'm not good at writing poems I hope its ok.), -

To Katharine
An Original Poem Written by Mattsie

Katharine, oh how I love that name
Angel, singer, an actress of fame
To you I sing a song from my heart
Hear my cry, I loved you from the start
A beautiful face, seen in my dream
Rising, you in mind smiling with gleam
Into the day I'd listen to you
I can't go wrong, will never be blue
No one as sweet, beautiful as you
Endless love I offer, ever true.


(I'd like to submit another poem before the deadline.
I'm KatPack #1372. Thanks. ---Mattsie)


Movie actors like Paul Newman, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall and Bette Davis make me want to live in the era they lived but I could have been just as inspired even now while I watch their work in films.

                                                  You Are The Rose
    You are the rose, the rose that grows outside my window. Everyday looking out watching you grow. So beautiful but firm and well planted on the ground. Some may protest that your thorns are too sharp, but its just a misconception. Your thorns are you. They are part of you and everything you do. They are part of your stem that grows everyday. Your thorns are natural and elegant, but do not give in easily. If you want it you have to work to get it. As you work your way up the rose, from the roots moving up through the stem your thorns maybe misleading, but when you get to the top true beauty unfolds in every single petal. You are amazing. Your are beautiful.You are gracious. You are the rose.

decided to pop into this thread and to my amazement full of many talented people. weasie, as Simon would say upon reading this, "you're good." thoroughly enjoyed it, the humor added a smile to this dully day at the office. great job.

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes the silence can seem so loud
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first it's got to start inside of me.

To One and All:

Poems submitted today will be included in the project.  I will try to get a mod to close the thread late tonight. If you are still planning to post a poem, do so as soon as possible. Don't wait until the last second. We have a lot of submissions, but will try to accomodate everyone.

Thanks,

Gary

Thank you, Gary (and anybody else involved) for organizing and putting together this project for Kat.
