Angel, LOL, you at least like my stuff! Kevin won't even say hello to me!
Broken heart Song! :-(
Just kidding, I'm extremely happy! :-)
Dee- seeing as how I count, I reiterate...go for it...of course, no doubt, I have managed to screw up time zones again, and you have already gone for it, or not as the case may be. Perhaps it's time for sleep for Nikki. :)
Terry- the eternal optimist? A built in reason to dump him? You are my kind of person. LOL
Everyone- sorry for the lengthiness (is that a word??) of my current submissions. I just can't seem to keep them short and sweet. Someday I will learn the basis of less is more.
Grammar question- in my latest poems, i use your's alot. is that the correct way to spell it, or should it be yours? ex: "one with the beat I know is your's". Just curious, cuz I hate when I make the same mistake over and over again. It's really that Virgo perfectionism rearing its (it's) ugly head!
a very sleepy grin as I wiggle off to bed....
nikki-
from one Virgo perfectionist (and one who admits to having taken English grammar in College) to another - no apostrophe in yours...
commentary coming shortly (as if it were really missed)... This last week was from hell - you collegians think you are the only ones burning midnight oil?
k
Kevin, SAY HELLO TO HEARTSONG...and me toooooo once in a while!!! *SMILE*
Hey everyone!
Beautiful Summer Day here in NJ---we're hitting a street fair...
Kevin Urenda, you better pay attention to the ladies in your life! Don't you talk to anyone anymore?
Oh yes---and I wanted to post an APB---(all poets bulletin) WHERE IN THE HECK IS SHADYGIRL?????
And why is everyone looking at me funny? Toast one tiny mortal and you get classed as a bitch!
No fear---Terry and I are on good terms....
Oh and Terry---
Please don't put a negative connotation on that "tiny" remark...was not implying anything about you in a...ummmm...help me guys....Oh criminy----you know what I'm NOT saying, right?
Gala
(blushing to the roots of her hair)
Kevin- I am in your debt. I would have put those apostrophes in until the cows came home...which would have been a long time...don't see many cows now-a-days.
Gala- You, a bitch? The thought never crossed my mind...and I'm sure your reference to Terry's tiny...uh...whatever was taken in only the lightest of degrees...
Terry-if me being sure about the whole tiny thing is a misguided assumption (I know one should never assume anything) then on behalf of the goddeses of the Blender (although I'm more than certain they can speak for themselves) I apologize for the implications brought about by 'Tiny Mortal'.
skipping gaily away on this sun drenched day...
Nikki,
Let's just say a pragmatic optimist. You gotta take every opportunity to stack the deck honestly...
Megs...you sounded so sad what with no kissing or anything, and now to think of no warm body....but just think that leaves you free to pursue just that summer love affair we have been talkin and readin bout here. So if you're already on the way home, best of luck and have fun lookin'...
And saving the baddest for last....Gala....Tsk, Tsk some goddesses just seem to forget occasionally that mere mortals usurped their authority centuries ago. But I will say one thing...if you're gonna dig a hole to work from, make it the deepest one you can LOL...and yes I caught every word between the lines there, so I know what you are NOT saying *Grin*. I think my ego can withstand being called a mortal, even.... Ahem....a tiny one.
And yes, Gala and I are on the very best of terms considering the goddess/mortal status...
my sense of humor remains anything but 'tiny'...
terry
This is craziness
Terry Dear---scroll back please. I never claimed divine status...you infered it...but thank you.
Parry, and Thrust...
Gala
And we got a comer in our midst----Kami Kae, I like This Is Crazieness...welcome---and write on sister!
ahem...that's it...enough of this nonsense...so many love goddesses here...i think it's about time i raise myself to deity status...ha...
first off...a title...hmmmmmmmm...The Delightful Guppy of Unabashed Swimminess
i'll be the god of all things pertaining to, or derived from swimmy conditions: long walks on the beach, scenes taken from "from here to eternity", mermaids and mermen, water spirits, alewifes, oil slicks, pool parties, etc.
my super power will be the ability to shoot trains from my fingertips....i know...trains have nothing to do with swimmy...but, hey, you have to work with what you have, right?...trains...i don't think i'd be messed with much if people knew that at any second i could fire off a string of boxcars at them...so, that's my power...beware ye of little faith
my day of worship shall be this coming tuesday...hmmm...ten pm...services shall consist of...hmmmm...i dunno...pointing at the nearest source of water and reciting the prayer: "swimmy is all around us...delight is all around us...guppy is most likely nowhere close to being around us...but, perhaps he is....perhaps he is...perhaps he is"
i will grant each of the faithful one drop of rain upon completion of the prayer...it will be delivered via airmail during the next rain shower...the drop of rain is for you to keep and cherish for all eternity as a symbol of love and frienship...and maybe trains...
ok...whew...i'm off to begin my reign...er rain?...ha...
k...bye now
*swishes tail*
gup
Oh Delightful Guppy of Unabashed Swimminess...
I have finally been presented with a deity that I can worship without feeling that I am slighting one or more of the other higher powers. (not meant to offend anyones religious sensibilities).
You are a truly wonderful god...and the whole train bit is pure genius. I know from personal growth and experience that I would never seek to anger one who can shoot any number of boxcars from his fingertips. (giggles)
Tiny Terry and Goddess Gala....in my moments of bronchial despair, which is sadly keeping me indoors on such a glorious day, I thank you both for the neverending laughter.
Okie Dokie spring loves....I'm off to the couch to curl up and hope this whatever it is goes away quickly...
(In true horror)
Nikki!!!!!!
Bad girl! Mamma spank!
Terry, forgive me---and Nikki---she's VERY young...
Gala
When does your May edition come out?
Thanks.
Spencer Covey
oh...was I very naughty Gala??
(trying not to giggle) I do hope you can forgive me Terry...I'll try to behave myself like the VERY young thing that I am in the future ROFL
Well....now I am feelin' dissed
First tiny which is bad enough, but now you wanna make me feel old by forcing me to forgive sweet young innocents??
Not even gonna!
I am rapidly losing faith in worship of goddesses,
Guppy?? Do you accept male disciples? I mean ones that have been humiliated in public?? No? I thought not....
left parry and counter....
t.
I repeat---you assumed I was divine...I certainly did not encourage the attack, and now will have to offer sweet Nikki was a hostage or you shall not believe my sincerity...
Innocents? Have you read this girl's poetry Sir?
Gala
(cut to the quick by the injustice or it all.)
once again Terry, you have made an assumption. First, of the Divine Gala, and then of the innocence you are under the impression I possess (correct speeling is optional, of course).
apparently, I must write less innocent poetry, although I thought I was doing fairly well...perhaps you missed 'The Vision'...I do believe that was posted a couple of months ago...alas, what shall a sweet young thing such as myself do to prove the lack of innocence I have worked so terribly hard to achieve?
~quickyl scampering off to find more trouble~...:)
And while I quipped that spelling was optional, I truly did not intend to misspell as many words as I possibly could. Forgive my lack of typing and proofreading skills.
grinning and off, with a saucy little wave.
