Beauty Queen Or Garden Gnome? Comments

I thought you projected cheerful energy full of kindness and wisdom, which makes one beautiful.

Mary, it shouldn't really matter, but I do often wonder the same thing. Excellent write! ! Brian

Sorry, your picture is posted at the top of this site - no garden gnome there. Ha, Ha, Ha! ! Love the poem, becuase we all have web site friends that we love, but cannot put faces to.

Dear Mary I hope that no-one has forgot to try and see us on the inside. Love Duncan

Gnomes did not originate in Germany. H

I see you as BOTH and then some.

I love this one, I had a smile, so easy to have a mental picture but how true are they?

Rhythym and Rhyme are great as always, and the message you attempt to prtray here is read loud and clear from miles away. Another Excellent addition to the Magnificence that is your Poetry.

Mary, the true home of garden gnomes is the Fatherland. Not Norway, it gets way too cold there and their pointed beenies don't cover the ears. H

No, I'm not Norwegian. (My kids are partly though.) I'm not sure how 'safe' it is to say nationalities here but I'm a good American mix.

Oh Mary, by the way, your poem is lovely. Thanks. Raynette

I pictured you sitting on your porch in Michigan...and didn't have a face to go with the picture, but had a lovely, peaceful feeling. Gnome? Don't they just live in Norway? iIf you are Norwegian, please don't send me mail. I meant it as a joke. :) Raynette

Haiku to fit this poem: No gnome could sit there and emanate your beauty that lives in your words. Mary, this is very nice and for a minute I imagined that you were talking to me. Best wishes H
