well...'no such thing as happy endings'...that's a rather sad and discouraging thought.  I think I'll stay wrapped in my fantasy world, then, becaause at least there, my happy ending is a reality.  :)<BR>

Gup--'fieldtrip to dark' is great...I especially like the lines...that death itself, on who's hallowed ground i dance, would lend itself to truth...it just reached out and knocked me off my feet...<BR>
<BR>
Kev--Your road work is exceptional.  I can't decide if I like 'Stars in the Sky' or 'Excitement' better, though.  Why do youhave to make it so tough to choose?  Of course, who said I have to choose.  <BR>
<BR>
Don't worry, this flaky insomniac is going to lay down and stare at the ceiling, hoping for the sand man to be kind to me tonight.<BR>
<BR>
Happy dreamings, love bugs!...nikki (who will eventually pass out and leave everyone alone!)

I think that Field Trip to the Dark, was absolutely the most beautiful poem I have read.  The tears have yet to stop.<BR>

Kevin ~ You rule man. I want to learn your art. Gimme more. =P<BR>
<BR>
Nikki ~ Preach to me! Halleleujah.<BR>
<BR>
All ~ I don't think that's my angel Evangeline. I'm hoping not anyway. She said she's not going to use that name here anymore.<BR>
<BR>
guppy ~ I see echos "fieldtrip to dark". They are very pleasant. It seems "inventing the vent" is meant to tell me to shut up and lose quietly. If so, it's right. But you don't know the whole story, so you don't know why I fought. And why I lose. And why it's alright.<BR>
<BR>
Misti ~ Your work is like a cool breeze on a hot day in the open prairie. Brings a little smile to my face. <BR>
<BR>
Zak ~ Been there. I keep the t-shirt and it's got Ren and Stimpy on it saying Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy. Good luck waiting for that day.

Kevin ~ Thanks for the poem. The words don't write themselves. The words are the me I haven't always met yet.<BR>
Because the I that matters most, the I of now, I don't exist until I think. And the best way for me to think is to write it down. And I'm damn happy to meet me. And I'm damn happy to meet the ghost of everyone here.

Michael - your last poem "Letting Go" really shakes up the page in the best of ways, I found it captivating.

Oh man...first a poem from my fairy godkid saying she hates me name, due to an evil Lisa in her past...and now one written by someone who makes me wish I was Elvis' daughter...<BR>

Hey Hank---Lisa Marie...exqusitely done...wonder if I can get my middle name changed....<BR>

Madison ~ Gracias. I'm not sad anymore. Weird eh? I woke up crying for the past mornings. I guess I'm done with this again.<BR>
<BR>
So you going to get some poor guy and circle him with women? =p<BR>
<BR>
Nikki ~ Can we see some of the art?<BR>
<BR>
Sarah ~ Um. "Silent Scream". Try screaming. Loud. I find it usually helps. At worst, sing along with a song at the top of your voice.<BR>

LYNDSAY ~ I think we can love too much. I think some people have this cup of love. And if you overfill it, the love will just spill over the sides and they won't be able to take it and they'll feel smothered. But I don't know anything for sure. I'm just a novice at this, who has really paid attention to other people's failures and successes.<BR>

Angel ~ everyone's telling me that love happens without proclmation. What happens when you never really had more than words and phone calls? That's why I won't do anything long distance anymore.<BR>
<BR>
Misti ~ you know what they say about Texas Peaches right? They're sour. =P Hopefully Chris likes sour.<BR>
<BR>
Hank ~ I think that hands are one of the most expressive body parts. People speak through their hands better than they do with their mouths.<BR>

   The peaches in Fredericksburg, Texas are the sweetest peaches in the world. So bite me! Ha! No offense, hombre, but it sounds to me like you've got yourself a bad case of sour grapes.

Michael--my writing is my art :)...and while long distance relationships have their low points, don't knock 'em so hard.  I know of a few people who are in them (pointed looks at a couple of her dear Blenderite friends) and of course, I happen to be in one myself.  Which for the most part, I am happy with, but I can't WAIT until I am finally with my love.  ~sigh~<BR>

in love....sleepy...and missing that man like I never thought would be possible....

Misti--Great way to start the month.  I love 'Syndesis'.  and the Peaches one is good too, although, I have to say that while they might be a sweet and preferred fruit, I don't particularly like them, other than to look at.  The fuzz kind of puts me off eating them.<BR>
<BR>
Hank--great one with Lisa Marie...I love hands..very important to me....of course, I think that I already went there before.<BR>
<BR>
Angel, Michael, and anyone else I missed..also great starts for the first month of the summer.<BR>
<BR>
Talk at you all later..and have a great weekend...<BR>
