I've never been before. And it's a long road back to my poetry I've been walking. Putting it out here, wide open for comment just to feel the ripples. I DON"T LIKE sugar coating though! I want honest reactions if you're inclined to express one at all! I love what I've seen here today from others.

Riggs -- A minor was very lyrical, had a great flow. Well done, will it be a song?

Good morning all........<BR>
<BR>
                Silly elven type....toes dancing, heart light---hugging myself to keep from laughing out loud too much...I am wishing the finest of days to everyone. And yes,<BR>
I know---life will probably intrude at some point. Someone will cut me off in traffic...or scowl at me....of flip me the bird...or tell me something profoundly sad...but right at this moment...this instant?<BR>
<BR>
                I am joy walking--------<BR>
<BR>
                Hugs, and fairy dust all round, my wonderful friends.........<BR>

Add that to the appearance of the sun again, and the balloons in the October sky over Albuquerque where they belong, today is sure to be a gorgeous day...<BR>

riggs...a minor is kinda my base chord on acoustic guitar...not sure why...i liked your submission...lyrics i take it?...you might want to change "toe" to "tow"...i'm sure you meant the latter...i struggle with logical misspellings myself pretty often...just thought i'd pass on that i caught that one...and i wouldn't bother to comment about it if i didn't like the work to begin with<BR>
<BR>
i know you mentioned dylan some time ago...do you have any fav songs by him?...i'm blown away by that guy's lyrical abilities...<BR>

<BR>
Never mind -- I'll bribe it outta her if I need... Dec isn't that far away now.<BR>

     Just taking a moment to say that this is a very special place. Inspired wrtiting, enlightened souls, and most of all, an understanding of the nature of love as something to be shared, spread, given away without regard to consequence.<BR>
<BR>
     The world would be a much better place if everyone would join in the playful love found in this community. And if they would open their heart to the bounty of love available to us all by simply giving, as love is always returned ten-fold and kindness a hundred-fold.<BR>
<BR>
     I love you all, and will miss this place when I can no longer visit. But I will always smile knowing that, though the faces change, the personalities come and go, the love is permanent, and forever, and is the one constant in an always changing universe.<BR>
<BR>
     Thank you all, my unknown lovers, my dearest anonymous friends. You have been the wind beneath my wings, and the unwavering flame to light my path. What you do here with words has the power to change lives. It did mine. As I'm sure it has others before me and will many more to come. God Bless You All.

Tara(TJ)~ Your writing has emotion and power. Please continue to submit. 'Spartan' haunted me all afternoon. Not just the imagery, but the message. And 'I Cried You Blind' was profoundly sad in its simplicity.<BR>
<BR>
John~ 'tell me what you feel' was beautiful. As was 'a moment not to miss'. Both were loving and sensual in different ways...<BR>
<BR>
Gala~ 'Illuminata' Wow. You certainly know how to craft words into whatever emotional mood you desire. Reading that I felt like I was reading something almost holy or sacred.<BR>
<BR>
Riggs~ 'The Fastest Way Too Few'...turned out to also be the fastest way to make me pretty melancholy. It hit hard with meaning. Thanks<BR>
<BR>
BK~ You now I loved what you wrote. 'Daffodils and Moonstones' are my favorites too. Your friend's safe return will be in my prayers. Hang in there...<BR>
