[Gray]

Well Done Angela, thanks for all your efforts in keeping the forum healthy!

[Marian]

Great to have you back on the forum with us Edgar. Hope your computer problems can be ironed out soon.
Many congratulations on your 300 postings, that's excellent, considering how long you've been away. Hope you can stay awhile.

Well done Edgar on the 300 score - good to see you are back on terra firma now

[Marian]

Congratulations Keith on your 300 entertaining and informative posts.
You really have become a valued part of the forum and our resident poet laureate. Well done!
Marian

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Well done from both of us Keith, a really good score notched up speedily too.
Your postsings are a wake up and an education for us Fifty Somethings.
Keep em coming.

I normally only congratulate at the 500 scores--apart from a few exceptions--this being one---you have reached this score so quickly--and at the same time entertain and educate us--so a very well done from me too.

Wow! Thanks Marian, I've often hankered
after a poet's residency and where better than
this website? A few appropriate lines are called
for, I think:

THE POET

Is a mere conduit,
the chosen one to do it;
an intermediary through whom
meaningful lines appear
from God knows where ...

Keith

Well done from me as well, Keith.

Thanks Lena & Harry, and Marian)a.
Here's one for the fifty-somethings:

POEM

To me the word has always meant
emotional reaction;
first one's heartstrings are tugged,
then one launches into
the aerial liberty of literary action,
and afterwards wallows in the warmth
of soul-deep satisfaction.

Keith

PS Thanks to you too John;
it's amazing how the tempus (and the posts)
can really fugit.

[Gray]

Many Congrats from me also, Keith.
Thanks for all you contribute!

[mariana44]

"Tempus Fugit" was always one of George's favourite sayings -- "Time Flies"

Also "In Vino Veritas"---basically when you have had too much to drink, the truth comes out !!!

[ROBERT M.]

Well done on reaching the 300 score so quickly Keith

[keithgood838]

Many thanks, Robert and Gray.
But hey, I've got a long way
to go (to match yourselves say)
before I can shout 'hooray',
so I'll just have to stay
and slog away, if that's okay.
Pray have a nice day.
Keith

PS Marian(a), I haven't been at the wine,
and that's the truth.

[ROBERT M.]

That's OK

[keithgood838]

Thanks and congrats, Robert M. What does M stand for?
Thousands? Compared with you I'm a mere novice,
still wet behind the website ears.
Keith
