Hey everyone!<BR>
<BR>
***Susannah*** You are amazing! "What happened to this fairytale" was so moving. I just got into a relationship that I was out of for almost 3 years. It reminds me of everything that me and him did. He is my first love and he is so special to me. Thank you for the beautiful poetry. It's wonderful, keep up the good work. :)<BR>

popped in for a moment to actually drop a line (or three, sorry...)<BR>

I am around, I sent you a quick e(mail)...<BR>

ditto the above...<BR>
<BR>
Quickly, on a few poems that caught my eye:<BR>
<BR>
I liked the way Terry and Deevaa fed off each other's creativity with "Where Does She Go?" and "and beauty sleeps..." (THAT is what is best about the Blender as a haven for those who love the poetry...)  Not to mention a beautiful and sublime painting to go along with Dee's words (very nice).  I wonder why smiles happen through the slumber  myself...<BR>
<BR>
RGWD-<BR>
I was struck by the passion you expressed in "I Feel..."  I still maintain that the antithesis of love is indifference, and you explain that in a way that evoked many memories...<BR>
<BR>
Kiwi-<BR>
You captured the feeling of desire over the wire very well in "red toenails and lemonade."  I hope your guy longs for  you even half that much...<BR>
<BR>
Gala-<BR>
the fright of self-exposure aside (yes, I too have that fear from time to time as well) I was taken aback at "Truth to God."  It is not often that a poem touches me to the core, but there were several profound lines in this work...  Among them the lines "but words have a power / that completes the soul" is a bedrock truth.  This place, the Blender, and everything that all of us share here is ALL about that.  Thank you for writing and sharing that...<BR>
<BR>
all for now...<BR>

Also, what the hell is "Watching"?  Come on, this site isn't for whining.  Grow up.

tanna - don't listen to him. your "ramble" and binge were both beautiful. And inspirational. keep up the good work :-)<BR>
<BR>
and mr anonymous man - if you don't like something, that's fine, and it's alright to share that you don't like it - but stomping on someone's feelings is worse than that person "whining" in the first place. the people who post here have more courage than you do - to not hide behind a nameless derogatory remark made to a stranger about something which is very personal and very special and not to be trifled with. my suggestion is that you criticize a little more constructively - and maybe expose yourself a little so you can truly understand what it takes to post parts of yourself on the internet.<BR>

Tanna~ 'Binge'...both sensual and appetizing. And 'Watching' was a fine tribute. It reminded me so much of my late Gran, and for that I thank you. Your work is both worthy and well worth sharing with us. Again, thank you!<BR>

Susannah~ I could feel your emotions right through the words in 'What Happened to this Fairytale'. And 'Memories' was a sad yet uplifting follow up. The ending was very good!<BR>

Gala~ 'In Your Absence'...I know exactly the feeling you describe so well...time can be a murderous accomplice at times. If you've never read it, Stephen King wrote a marvelous short story about the very subject called 'My Pretty Pony'.<BR>
