Thank you Kirk for including my Evergreen Magnets poem....that summer still clear in my memory...also enjoyed reading the other poems chosen for February...and finally I love to visit the blender regularly to catch up on new submissions... a treat for this emotional soul
Congrats to the Front page pics!
Thank you Kirk for including my "Tribute to a Fisherman." That one is special to me and I am so pleased that you liked it.
Calypso: I really enjoyed your work last month. I especially loved "Seven Seconds." It had an immediacy that really struck me. I also loved "Morning Sounds" and "Moongarden." Hard to pick my favourite from yours last month, I thought they were all so good.
Madison: I really liked "lickerish," The language was so evocative. The lines "wings of trees / foliage draped like dark feathers above our heads," were especially good.
Rennie: What can I say, your poetry always is an inspiration to me. thank you for "Favorite Lines."
Kevin: I really liked the Haiku "bloom" because it surprised me with its image. I think really good Haiku always has that aspect.
Graham: I loved "Sonnet for Christine." I visited your webpage and found more that I enjoyed. I did not find a guestbook though, or I certainly would have signed.
Jen and Debra, I really liked the images in your front page poems.
Thank you all for this poetic journey. I love being here and being a part of the blender community!

Hey everyone! I love the Valentine's Issue. WONDERFUL front page picks!
Megs- I really enjoy "Hall of Flings" It made me smile and think of the little "quirks" I picked up from past loves...and that they helped shape who I am now.
Beth- thanx. And you say you've been suffering from writer's block? "Perfect" is great! It perfectly describes how I feel when the man I'm in love with isn't around :) Keep it up!
Forest- I absolutely loved your three last submissions. They are original, and please keep submitting!
To everyone else, keep writing! I am now hooked on this site and the new submissions!
Beth - way to go!!!! ... <grin> (and the one who knows who he is... hey you! long time no see!!)
Gala and Gupp - last night was too much fun. You are both just lucky I had a date with my telephone! <giggles>
Shady - you about reading? Mail me.
I am searching for my muse... it must be about here somewhere.
Take care of your hearts.
(from the chick trying hard to be casual with hers.)

PS Gala - still no email from your 40-ish musician.. did I scare him?
Thanks for your kind comments...your Tribute to a Fisherman had me dreamin for sure....
hey guys and dolls...huge congrats to all the front pagers this month...great work people...
kirk...good job with the picks (as usual)...i'd hate to have that task...so many good ones to pick from this month...you pulled it off nicely though
keep the love flowin',

Hey everyone!! I can really feel the love you guys (and gals). A little sarcasm never hurt anyone also. Thanks Tiger for the comments!!
Also, I would like to thank any and all that give comments to others' submissions. I don't exactly know why, but criticism and perhaps, even a little encouragement is what keep us blenderites goin'!!
Acknowledgement always helps, doesn't it? I think so!!I think that I feel a writing mood coming on, so check ya'll later!!
P.S.-- I was wondering if anyone but noticed that a submission I thought in my haste was "sweetheart", was "sweatheart"? Sweat? What's the deal here? Btw, this was by an unknown author. Someone help! Hehehe...:-)

Deevaa!
Leave it to you to "chat" and tell....poor guppy is probably purple with embarassment! Look here, you loud mouth kiwi broad...it was all as innocent as church school---and you know it! So there!
By the way, Gup---you are a dear. Messed up your email address...forgive me....
Congrats to the front pagers! Calypso, you do it with style!
<confused> which part was the telling part?
gupp... help... please tell me what she means... deevaa = lost right about now.
