*~Terry~* HEY! I'm completely infatuated with "It's all our fault". I really liked the progression of the piece. The words were sentimentally true and flowed very well!<BR>
<BR>
*~Angel~* "Greed" was very cute! You have a real knack for saying things in a way that just catches the mind's eye.<BR>
<BR>
*~Megs~* "Marionette"...wow, what can I say! It's a great concept with a great writer to back it! Go you!<BR>
<BR>
*~Dallasgirl~* "Fairytale Fantasy" and "Butterfly" were both very entertaining. I like your style and POV...keep up the great work! <BR>
<BR>
*~Claire Brown Bower~* Amazing...simply amazing...."the pretender" was beyond my own vocabulary of defining it, so I won't even try<BR>
<BR>
~*christopher lake~* "promise me you won't" was extremely touching. <BR>
<BR>
well, it was opening night for Brigadoon! It was an awesome show and an awesome party afterwards. Hope I can start writing some better stuff again soon. I'm sorry for my more recent, choppy, unpolished poems. Promise...they'll get better!<BR>

Kirk - I finally finished the ramble and I must admit, the section on 'Time to Waste' really hit home.  I felt like you were preaching the gospel.  I'm ready to be baptised now.

*~Dee~* Both of your coffee pieces were excellent! I don't know how else to describe them!<BR>
<BR>
*~Guppy~* "Blinded with silence" is a beautifully written piece.<BR>
<BR>
*~Gala~* "Dancing on Starlight" is thoroughly enjoyable!<BR>
<BR>
*~Dallasgirl~* I could really share your emotions in "Love's Ghost". Really liked it!<BR>
<BR>
*~Kiwi~* You have a talent with vivid words! I loved "fire"<BR>
<BR>
G'bye all, off to another day of performance! Tonight's a big night for me. My family, who doesn't understand why I want to "waste my life on theatre" is coming, so I have to prove them wrong. <BR>

An earnest thank you to those who have read my poems and placed comments here. I am pleased that they have been enjoyed by someone. <BR>
<BR>
kacey ~ "And he falls through her hands like sand." is delicately poetic and a very striking endline. <BR>
<BR>
laurel ahlfeld ~ In Their Eyes ~ "You show up in the darndest places For someone who's never around" ...deliciously sardonic. <BR>
<BR>
kevin urenda ~ I enjoyed the very light alliteration in "worth" and your "truth of you" line struck nicely. Your  "not listening" rang reality, loud and clear. <BR>
<BR>
chimbu ~ Alone ~ It is only in the "reaching" that one is able to "find." And your "Valentines day card" ~ what a charming vignette...<BR>
<BR>
Gala ~ Spirit Soul Wandering ~ lovely sensual images here.<BR>
<BR>
~~Will continue to read as I have time...what a delightful array of romantic expression here!<BR>
<BR>

I think that all of these poems suck and I cannot forge any of them and send them to a contest and win money.  They all suck.  You ought to get some good poems before just making a dull sight as in this one.  none of these poems even rhyme!

Ms Spears - Lack of talent hasn't stopped you from making money either...but you are a babe.  Look forward to seeing you in Playboy in a couple of years when you try to revive your career.

Claire Brown Bower~ 'Scrabble by Moonlight' is VERY sexy! What a picture...<BR>
<BR>
sinneD~ 'a jungle on my own' was thought provoking. I liked it much.<BR>
<BR>
laurel~ 'Cabaret' took my back to college and the stage for awhile. I know that feeling of washing off the paint while wishing like hell I could keep the mask and the magic a little longer. ~sigh~ good job.<BR>
