Okay---Now I'm complimented...being a Yankee Elf, I had very little  hope of capturing the beauty of the Smokies...<BR>
I know everyone goes on about the Rockies---but I visited the Smokies five years ago in Spring---and in the first day lost count of the waterfalls, springs---and sheer wonderment of the place.<BR>
<BR>
Very late one night I saw tiny glowing BLUE firefly creatures near a brook, and decided that the whole place was enchanted.  The Ridge series is a heart wish...and I thank you all kindly for allowing me to share it.<BR>

Guessing--"I am" was very touching and beautiful!<BR>
<BR>
B.K.--Keep the feedback coming.  I'm sure everyone appreciates it.  "I Need You" was great.  I really enjoy reading all of your work.<BR>
<BR>
cats_meow--"The Huntress" was wonderful.  What a creative idea!  And it was very descriptive.  Great job!<BR>
<BR>
The One and Only Mrs. Bootiehead--"Love at First Sight" was excellent.  I completely understand your feelings.  <BR>
<BR>
Keep up the awesome work everyone!  I was just introduced to the Blender about a month ago, but I'm already telling some friends about it.

Tell me whens the last time<BR>
you stood up all night thinking of me<BR>
tell me whens the last time<BR>
I was in all your fantasys<BR>
<BR>
You tell me this is love <BR>
and without me your incomplete<BR>
while out at the club<BR>
seeing how many girls you can meet<BR>
<BR>
Then giving me a kiss<BR>
saying everything will be okay<BR>
I keep staying home<BR>
though it happens everyday<BR>
<BR>
While I tell everyone<BR>
how I got a man<BR>
But crying myself to sleep<BR>
never knowing that was in our plan<BR>
<BR>
I tell you how I feel<BR>
I thought you wanted to know<BR>
Acting like you care<BR>
from the hot air that you blow<BR>
<BR>
Not one emotion shown<BR>
like your in a one man game<BR>
what is wrong my dear <BR>
can you not say my name

Michael~~~ I really loved "She's Beautiful". That really <BR>
           brought out a feeling I know that I've felt<BR>
           before. A really meaningful piece...I really <BR>
           liked it!!!!!!!! your pices get better and better<BR>
           every time I read them! Keep it up, man.<BR>
<BR>
p.s. I know I don't comment on much, but just to let everyone know, you ALL have a wonderful ability to touch people. I'm glad to call this place my poetry's "home".<BR>
<BR>
Sincerely,<BR>

guppy: stars in my eyes everytime i see him - not only the flowers. but yes - a wonderful choice. and your poetry is just overflowing -screaming to be read. such a nice escape from my oh-so-busy life.<BR>
<BR>
bk: busy busy busy. i'm ok (aside from being tired) but our fashion show goes up tonight and so last minute arrangements are just sucking up my energy. i have some knocking around in my head - if i get a free moment i'll write them down. however, you've been writing well enough for the both of us - i enjoy reading your work almsot as much as i enjoy writing mine :-) <BR>
<BR>
and everyone else who is just too many (and new!) to list - it's wonderful. i loved it all. keep giving me good poetry to read!

I read this strip on Peanuts - I'd be grateful if you could send me the complete text of this strip. I think the conversation is about true love and big noses, if I'm not mistaken. (I think there's a bit of baseball thrown in there somewhere as well)<BR>

dee - you know what i think? i think these poems are more real and honest and (given that) better than a lot of poetry you can find. I am guilty of not liking every poem that's been posted - but never because they're stupid.<BR>
<BR>
also: as some wise wise person said (anyone who knows the credit is welcome (and invited) to let me know): "Art is not a reflection of the artist, but of the viewer." or something like that. i think that's speaks for itself.

Thick.... yes you most probably are. After all you were going to steal someone else's poetry because you couldn't write any of your own. But as for the nice part....ummm nah.
