gala---consummation...i really liked the last few lines...with the "i love you" tucked under your tongue and all...great stuff...the rest of it was good too, but the ending was perfect...those lines could stand alone and be awesome <BR>

guppy~ I loved 'placed'.<BR>
"i calmly kiss her narrow mind"<BR>
That line alone created the most delightful image!<BR>
<BR>
Gala~ I agree about the last two lines of 'Consummation'. It ended a wonderful piece in a most visual way...BRAVO!<BR>
<BR>
Michael~ 'No More' communicated layers of sadness that worked beyond the words you chose. The whole WAS greater in this case because it carried your emotions right into my heart.<BR>

Guppy, Gala, and Terry:  The three of you have submitted incredible poems recently.  They all are magnificent.  I felt like I was witnessing the all-star team of the Blender in action.  Beautiful work, all.

                      You guys are making the moldy old elven broad blush.....but thank you.<BR>
<BR>
                      Ahem.....shortly, I will opening a web page called Galadrial's Garden.....I have invited some Blender faves to contribute, and the site is amazing----no thanks to me, but rather thanks to the talents of Terry and Deevaa, and of course, the continental cowboy---Mr. Christian. There are also links for some of my favorite sites, including this one, and one other anthology.<BR>
<BR>
                      I'll let you know when it's up...and thank everyone for their kindness. I still don't think I'm interesting enough to have my own site----but it is exciting for me.<BR>

I do not feel that by choosing to post anonymous comments this makes me a "coward" or a "hypocrite"...I am simply a bemused, apathetic observer of the immature melodrama and peculiar ass kissing aspect of this site. The truly exceptional poems are rarely commented on. The mediocre poems tend to rule the day. Seems to me like there is a bit of a mutual admiration society thing going on here much of the time. <BR>
  I do have a life. I have a job and a significant other and money in the bank and quite a few friends. I just don't choose to blow my own horn...unlike most of you self-righteous egomaniacs.

Oh please.....if you had a life butt head, you wouldn't have time or interest to act as a gadfly.<BR>
<BR>
Oh----and by definition, "apathetic" would render you incapable of being such a paltry critic.<BR>
<BR>
Those who can't are usually the critics........

I truly enjoyed "tired."  It is how I've been feeling lately.<BR>
<BR>
Remember, we all have our own style of writing.  Some people like it, some don't.  The important thing is to keep writing.  And write for yourself, not others.  And don't feel bad if nobody comments on your work, I get few, if any comments on mine, but regardless, I still love to write.<BR>
<BR>
Take care~<BR>
