Zero#1---**Showed me Courage**  great as always.  i love this poem because it reminds me of someone in my life that has been nothing but loving to me when i didn't give that back.  i have learned from so few people how to give a part of myself to everyone and to have courage in myself.-----again you have inspired me and i thank YOU!!! <BR>

Zero 1~ 'Showing Me Courage' had a very nice melodic feel about it. Like it wanted to be a song...<BR>
<BR>
Freddy~ I have been remiss in not commenting on your writing. I have enjoyed a great many of your submissions, and 'Making Waves', like many others has a depth that belies the simple image it produced in my mind! Thanks...<BR>
<BR>
Jessie~ 'Eyes' is a very profound work. It made me think on several different levels.<BR>

Terry ~ "Anthropomorphizing Love" is awesome. Wow. That's almost enough to make me a vegetarian. Damn.<BR>
<BR>
Zero ~ I just gave you the advice I would have loved to recieve when I was 17. That and lended an ear I'm sure you needed. I'm happy it's helping. It seems you let the hurt and fear go and let the love flow. Heck, it's advice I wish I had given to myself one, two months ago.

I am Donna J. Senter writing you on a friends computer. I wanted to tell you I love your web sight an hope it keeps continuing. It gives me hope that I can move on with my life. I still feel my hart is destroyed after kent left me. I hope he will eventually take me back I'v been waiting for one year for him to take me back. We dated for two years and are still on speeking terms, we still love each other at least he tells me he does and I know I love him and wan't noone elce. Maybe he will some day realize he should follow his heart and come back to me. well thak you for reading.<BR>

              Your poem A love that is true...wow......it made me remember how things were in my relationship before... my love trampled over me....yet, I still feel that way.  Strange, I do, but I do. It truely touched me.  Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Tanna- your words lifted my spirits today....you are just too kind about my words, but I thank you bunches...<BR>
<BR>
And Angel, I sure never meant to hit a weak spot, but it was chilling, and not something I could easily dismiss, the  sight of that small bird reaching out to shake its still mate. You're right..it was too sad...<BR>
