BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted May 13, 2005 (edited) Oh gosh, now I can't spell the word "poem". What is the world coming to?!? lol. 140980[/snapback] *deep long sigh...*If spelling was the only thing that kept this world in its place, I would have destroyed the planet long, long time ago. I cannot recall how many times I pressed F7 button on my keyboard (using MS Word). I've gone though 3 keyboards just to replace the F7 key. I envy you. I am not a poet. I can't even contemplate on being a poet or start thinking about what to write. I am just a chatter box with empty words. Nice imagery! I enjoyed the (what I take) dual imagery--the agony and victory as a soldier of a battle field, and the strife of a "soldier" in this modern world fighting to stay at even with the time. Notice from BuffaloHELP: Ha, ha, I should have pressed that F7 one last time. Checking my spelling as well.
