Toklas~ I've never read a better description of a poet than your 'Precarious'.
t.
A famous quote.-life nor death is forever but what is forever is love-Ryan Buckley. Life is somthing you go through fast and that is why it's not forever but Love will always be forever. It controlls us it binds us in joy and tears. "The heart may die but whats inside is forever"-Ryan Buckley. Even through death you have the embrace of love sucked to you. Life has only one sweet moment set aside for us. When it is what binds our survival. Without that one sweet moment. Love will die. Hold on to that hoping moment. It will happen and will touch your world with it's finger tips. Life is a ocean of love it has it's days of beuaty and it's days of sorrow but what it always has is the constant stream of love. And that is forever

I don't think Geez is in the Dictionary either but that's my exclamation at the current thread. I will admit that I am mostly a "scratchpad" impromptu poet. I rarely write a poem for the blender prior to entering the submissions page. However, I do TRY to be careful and proofread my works before hitting that submit button. Also, for the newer folks, the second chance review is something Kirk only recently added for OUR benefit because when we submit something full of errors, we really are reflecting poorly on our own talents as well as the quality of this great site. Sooooooo.....with that said, get over the hooplah of this grammar and spelling police frenzy and TRY to be constructive instead of demeaning in your criticisms. I for one, am my own worst critic.

Dinner was sublime! We went to Hudson's Ribs and Fish in Fishkill. We had huge popovers with strawberry butter, coconut shrimp, Caesar salad and juicy New York strips. I didn't know they could make a decent steak in New York!
Then we went to Michael's Sports Bar and met Lisa, one of Chris's coworkers. I bummed cheap menthols and drank Molson Ice and Samuel Adams. I played "Morning Song" and "Start Me Up" and "Waiting For a Girl Like You" on the jukebox. We had Lisa take pictures of us. I embarrassed the hell outta Chris when I kissed him. Apparently, PDA ain't the goin' thing in Yankee Land.
Next we went to this video store (not Blockbuster's...Blockbuster's is evil) and rented "Clerks" and "Go." I bought the new Rolling Stone 'cause there's a good story about Ozzy in there. I also bought some Sour Patch Kids.
Came home, watched some of "Clerks," one of Chris's favorites. Drank some chardonnay. Ate some chocolate. I said, "This is boring!" so we went to bed. Had a fight. I went into the other room and locked Chris out. We made up, eventually. That's always fun. This morning he brought me a single rose and a Cowtail. It's candy I've never tried before.
Love is beautiful. I am happy to be alive.

Perfection is a lie, in relationships and everywhere else... We're not about perfection. We never will be. The only kind of perfection we will ever know is what it feels like to wake up in the arms of someone you love and want to grow old with. And that is enough...
Well, tonight's gonna be fun. First we're goin' to the same Chinese restaurant I once saw Stephen King walk into and buy takeout at 3am... Then Misti's gonna kick my ass at air hockey... Then Misti says we have to finish watching our movies ('cause we paid for 'em and all that...). She calls all the shots and I like it that way.
i am looking for a love peom i came across about a year ago i dont recall the exact title but it contained the words "another man's wife" it was so pretty id like to find it again has anyone on your site ever heard of it? please email me and let me know

Hello again to fellow blender writers. I have been away for about a year, without a submission.
DAMN...but it does feel good to be back!
I have MISSED you guys!!!
Can't wait to catch up on the writings. Already see some especially mind catching authors since I went away.
GALA: right on....there is spark there girl!!!!
Love it!!!

Hello everyone - I can't believe how many new subs there are in only 4 days, are we not allowed to go on vacation - the catch-up is hell... I have yet to read everything but my goodness the board has been busy.
Terry: I am not ignoring you, and of course, I will still buy you that cup of coffee and we will have great conversation as soon as you pay us NVA folks a visit - the only thing will be will you meet with ms. berger or mrs. coleman - the date is set for 6-30-01 - I can't believe it myself... a very quick courtship - lots of love and bliss - and one huge diamond (sounds tacky doesn't it) but I do love him, more than I thought it was ever possible - I didn't think that I deserved this kind of love or relationship - i have spent the last 8 years killing everthing inside of me - as punishment for losing whom I thought was my soulmate - but now my God - I couldn't be more thankful or in love - so hurry to NVA -
Zoe - happy belated birthday
more to come I am sure after I read the subs
C.L. Hollinghead- i liked "late" a lot, i was quickly skimming over lal of the newest submissions, and that one caught my eye
Tara Congrats!
ZoE-------Sorry love----kept meaning to post birthday greetwings (elven types send greetwings---not a typo!)
So Birthday Greetwings ZoE!
And ahem.....I overused Big Kahuna this morning----and since rumours fly around here like confetti at times, KIRK is the Big Kahuna......but he is not MY Big Kahuna....
Okay Mo?

Kirk -- loved it... I'm all for being grown up enough to use our own names and claim what we write!
hehehe -- oh gawd misti, I suggested you keep us up-dated on how you guys are working out, not for your schedule and shopping lists!!!
Take care of your hearts

Dee~
I'm crackin' up right now! You're right. I'm forever boring the people in my life with endless descriptions and details of the most mundane things! But I think popovers with strawberry butter are the coolest things in the world!
...Sink your teeth into THIS update: Chris proposed marriage and I accepted! We already have names picked out for the kids!
The timing is incredible...just last week I tried on a wedding gown for the first time ever. And it was a perfect fit. And on the plane ride from Cincinnati to Newburgh, the guy sitting beside me told me that he had a feeling that I was nervous about meeting Chris because my life was hanging in the balance and I was thinking about marriage!
I feel like I'm in a dream. Chris is my best friend and my darling precious yum yum man. I've never felt happier.
:)))))!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August Digest is here. Enjoy. I thought we had a
very good featured artist in particular.
Returned from baking in Phoenix (although yesterday was a 'cool' 105) to find a new Blender Digest...
Congrats to all the Front-pagers...
Good picks, Kirk...

laurel, i just read velveteen sky and thought it was gorgeous. not rusty one bit. i love your imagery...very elegant. i too just submitted the first in weeks, so i know how you feel. but you have nothing to worry about.
Misti and Chris~ Congratulations!!!! I'm very happy for you guys. I know it will be good for you guys.
I'll try to write something for you. Maybe we can have a blender wedding issue? Wouldn't that be cool? Featured poems dedicated to Chris and Misti's event?
Kirk ~ your selection rocked.
