Put you party hats away. I haven't fallen off the edge of the world like you all thought. I'm gasping for air in the flooding river of social hell better known as high school. I haven't had time to do my homework, let alone write. I just wanted to let you all know I haven't forgotten you all. You are my encouragement. My inspiration. I'll be stopping by in my free time(lol). I probably won't write until Thanksgiving break. Until then!<BR>
Love always,<BR>

it doesn't matter: i have figured out why everyone is so keen on finding out who you are...they all want your poetry to be for them, and as long as you're anonymous, you feed the daydream that it just might be...heaven knows i could use some love poetry written for me (or even just the feelings that go behind it...) keep up the good work - dreams are good for the soul

you may be on the right path (i.e., it doesn't matter's privacy), but as one who writes most of his poetry TO someone, I WANT her to know...  My desire as a poet is to have my muse love my words half as much as, say Viola DeLesseps loved Will's words in "Shakespeare in Love."  But then, that's just me...<BR>
