when the nights cold I'm warm knowing the fact that I have you behind my back, when my feeling are stealing the blue in my skies leaving them gray your the sun to brighten up my days, when it seems like the hill is too steep and my vision is getting blurry I call on you my dove to be there in a hurry, when all is going wrong and I can't go on your my angel who I mortalize this poem forever

or

you are the rays of sun that break through the clouds on my long rainy droughts

or

I'll fly you to the moon and and let you play among the stars, I'll let you see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars, in other words hold my hand, in other words darling kiss me, fill my heart with song and let me sing forevermore, you are all I hope for all I worship and adore, in other words please be true, in other words I love you.

they can be part of something else. any help would be apriciated...i'm just worried.

I'm curious about this. This morning, Rachael Ray was recognized for coining the word/abbreviation "EVOO" (short for extra virgin olive oil). The Oxford English Dictionary is adding it next year. Since she is the reason the word is now common, would she receive royalties for it? That's ridiculous right?

For a guy, an older guy. Something that has a 'Mr.' in front of it. But it doesn't have to. What guy name will send shivers up and down your spine. It needs to put fear into your every bone.

Some people always type COLOUR. But it is COLOR. Why the U? A common spelling mistake?

The word "diction."This is what my sentence looks like so far:

White’s choices of diction clearly indicates that Anna believes Roland is unintelligent.

(White is the last name of the play author and throughout the play the character named Anna calls another character named Roland things like idiot, dummy, stupid, etc.)
