~MIKE KANE ~ YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!!! Don't Have one...wow.. you need one......:) That was probably the sweetest thing I've ever read!!! I wish my Mike would speak to me, or write, even on a plain napkin...one of the sentences you wrote.........My heart melts everytime I read that...(7 to be exact)! Man if I were Robin...I'd cry tears of happiness and wonder what I ever did so wonderful for such a love like that!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!
~MIsti~ Crazier than the Devil~ Our minds seem to go together.........hahaha Get out of my THoughts GIRL! You are a wonderful poet! Such a way with words and truth!
Thought I'd let you all know I start My chemo Monday.......I guess now would be a good time to tell Mike, huh? Thank you so much for being there to listen to all the things that are going on in my life! I love ya'll
slug---as far as beat poets go, i've not actually read much of any of them...i've read some, but not in a long long time
gup
oh yeah...i'm from wisconsin...same as that bitch from survivor...sheeeesh...the pride i feel
ashley: some words of wisdom for an already wise girl (whose poetry is touching and hopeful)
"It is through the cracks in our brains that ecstasy creeps in." -Logan Pearshall Smith
"Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure." - RUMI (how odd, i feel as though i came out from ruin, and he was my treasure, but he has walked away from me...)
and
"Embrace your greif - for there your soul will grow." - Jung
maybe these few words will bolster enough so that you can heal.
Crystal
my wife had cancer and shes beaten it so far so we both wish u the best
Paul~ Enjoy the flick, but like I warned you, it's genuine 'B' grade all the way. And actually, since it was filmed here in Tucson in the early eighties, before the age of computerized special effects became the norm, a couple of the effects are pretty cool. Especiallly the scene where the head gets sliced off! Nothing like a campy horror flick on a rainy day..........lol.

While Gala slept----------
Gup---great thought!
Kev---wonderful extenstion!
Terry---the perfect conclusion........
Me thinks the poetic "bump" is a resounding success.........
God, you people blow me away..........
Grinning Gala
Crystal,
Girl.........let us know how you're doing-----i will keep you in my prayers....we're a small tribe........but we care......god bless, honey.........
love Gala
this is a bit late but the line at the start of Misti's "Cazier than the devil hisself" is, as the anonymous poster said from the start of Civil War by Gun's n Roses.
But i don't see the big deal.
The Gunners nicked it themselves from an old Paul Newman film called Cool Hand Luke.
Hey People
**Zero #1**"is there a BIG picture" makes perfect since. i have sat and pondered that thought too. Keep writing and i'll talk to you laterz!

hey people
**Ashley Skye** Freedom from the Pain--Excellent work. It reallt spoke to me as right now I am going through that sort of pain. I have a friend that is helping me believe in myself once again so that, like you said, when love comes back my way i'll have something to give. A real inspiration.

Terry-
VERY nice touch, to finish the thought...
Here's to many more days and nights filled with life at the right end of the bell curve, my friend...

guppy - your thought is a good one - now i must think
and kevin's added thought is good, also - adds a new deminsion to it.
and terry - how optimistic. it was good, but i find it hard to be optimistic right now, and so in my cynicism i will say nothing, but thank you for writing it so that when my cynicism fades, it, too, will be a good thought to think on.
kare bare-
thanks so much for the comment on "Freedom from the Pain", i'm glad you liked it. I also have a friend that is the reason that I'm believing in my self again. And it helps when people like you and Slug give me hope. Just a little advice that i've learned in the past couple days... don't let ANY guy bring you down, or anyone for that matter, they aren't worth your time, and in a few months it will not even matter. The pain will go away.
Slug-
Thank you for all those words of wisdom, I'm going to write them down and save them!! It made my day!!!
thanks everyone, I'm starting to feel MUCH better!!
Take care of yourselves, Ashley Skye!!
kevin, terry...great job on the continuation...seems like all three should be blended together as one complete thought...er not a complete thought...the whole paradox (xeno's) of dividing things in half indefinitely comes into play...ha...i guess it would actually be three people (us) dividing the population into exclusive and inclusive halved halves
yeah, i don't know what that means either...it's friday...i can be an idiot if i want to...woohoo
gup
CRYSTAL-Thank you for your comments on what I wrote :) I really appreciate it. I wish you the best of luck with your future..I hope that you can overcome that horrible monster known as cancer. Best of luck and my prayers.
~Mike
Crystal~Sorry that I didn't post this with my first post, but I just went and read some of your poems. Three or them to be exact. "Moving On," "Living," and "A Chance." The way you describe the feelings is something I've not thought of before..its really a good way to look at things. I'm afraid that I know each any every feeling that you described all too well...and that what you described in "A Chance" may soon become my reality. Hopefully not. But your work is very good, in my humble opinion. You have a wonderful way with describing what you feel. As I read your works they actually made my heart feel your emotions..perhaps it was just past wounds being opened, who knows. Again, best of luck and my prayers, Crystal.
~Mike
Dreamsome~ your first subs to the Blender...'I'm Tired' was especially emotional and vivid
"pen at my bedside holding my hand
draping me with its affectionate
black ink, wondering whom will write"
A very appropriate and troublesome image to anyone who wears the cloak of poet. Thank you.
