Edited my poem for meter.

Yesterday I spent some time editing my newly written poem. I asked mcgupta for his help in getting the meter right. He was very helpful and gave me more than one review and a re-rating after editing. I was determined to make the poem the best it could be for the contest.

I still am not truly satisfied with my results on this one. I'm sure that it will never be one of my favorites in spite of the perfect rhyme and meter here.

Every morn' when I awake
I see your smiling bring
Happiness, make no mistake
The reason why I sing.


Days fill up with love so pure,
You are my everything.
Long nights no longer endure,
Sing my nightingale sing.

Grateful for your tender touch,
To your heart I will cling.
Because you've given so much,
You're the reason I sing.

Spend with you, my golden years
Together love takes wing.
Heavenly ring in our ears.
You're the reason I sing.

This was written for the contest INSPIRATIONS a prompt based contest - following the prompt - reason why I sing.

I am trying to catch up on some of my blog reading around the site. In doing so I ran across this little survey -

Invalid Item  This item number is not valid. #1444051 by Not Available.

I found it interesting and took the time to fill it out. Lately I have not been taking the time to read and leave comments on the blogs I normally visit. I have been so wrapped up in mentoring and corresponding on here with ~Windsong~ who is Ron's sister and new to the site. She is rapidly filling her port with all kinds of poems and stories! She has learned so much the short time she has been here and is gaining exposure and recognition for her work!

She mentions her appreciation for all in her blog.

I am very excited for her
