Sarah --  'Your reality' .... lovely. It painted pictures  more vividly than the most well trained portrait artist could with a brush.<BR>

I have been way behind in reading. And like Dee I did a major catch up today...<BR>
<BR>
slug~ 'We Danced' was very good. I like your style alot.<BR>
<BR>
Angel~ 'Love is Better a Stream', beautiful imagery and thought there.<BR>
<BR>
Madison~ 'Dancing Down 6th Street'...lordy you are good...<BR>
"You walk<BR>
against the crossing signs <BR>
as if you were the moon and <BR>
it the shadow."<BR>
I loved that line in particular.<BR>
<BR>
Devin~ 'Fool's Gold' caught just the right bittersweet tone for me. I really liked the ending.<BR>
<BR>
Kiwi~ 'You' was just  plain beautiful writing...<BR>
"your gentle breath<BR>
blows me away<BR>
in a tempest of emotion"<BR>
very, very nice touch...<BR>
<BR>
it doesn't matter~ '[....love....]  another gem offered up by someone I am growing to respect as a writer. You communicate a sense of being and touch so very well.<BR>
<BR>
Sarah~ I agree. 'Your Reality' was masterful prose. I got caught up completely in the sense of need and longing you expressed.<BR>
<BR>
Meredith~ 'Craving' very effective imagery...good work.<BR>
<BR>
there are others I could comment on but I realize this is getting long...sorry kirk...but The Blender just keeps gaining talented people.<BR>

Terry ~ As always, a thousand thank yous for your kind words.<BR>
slug ~ thank you. "Loving you" is right on also. I've been to that part of Vegas. And if you're out of gas, you can be there a long damn time. Watch out or you'll die of hunger and starvation.

And Dee?  I totally agree with Kevin. All your work is getting richer, deeper. I especially liked the combination effect of 'Heart of the Matter'...Beautiful!<BR>

terry and michael: thank you for relaying that you enjoy my work - it's always nice to have encouragement :-)<BR>
<BR>
also: a question for everyone - and i hope i'm not over-stepping my bounds here - i have been trying for the last few years to get published (pipe dreams...pipe dreams...) if anyone has the name and address of a reputable agent/publisher that i could contact, i would appreciate it. i seem to be exhausting my own resources - and all the no avail! i don't want any string-pulling, just a name and an address - or the like. thank you soooo much.

I really like this site and I enjoyed the poem "NO NOTE ON THE DRESSER".  Kind of reminds me of something I'd say.<BR>
<BR>
Keep up the good work!

Angela~ 'Always and Forever' is a beautiful love letter from the heart. And I realize from reading the words that tears might have been falling toward the end which made overlooking the spelling easy. But it is too good not to edit a bit for permanent keeping.  Best of Luck.<BR>
