meaningless objects, thoughts of you...<BR>
<BR>
I read and re-read a good eight or nine times, with the same stunning impact.  It was like leaning into a buffered punch..knowing what was coming, and what the effect would be, but reliving it anyway..and remembering how it came to be.  <BR>
<BR>
BRAVO...and again..BRAVO<BR>

Oh.....and Kev?<BR>

              I have some catching up to do...but those last couple...wow. Once again you demonstrate an astonishing skill for densely packing amazing things in tiny packages....I thought your muse was missing?<BR>

here's a haiku that celebrates both the up-side of love, and the down-side of democracy:<BR>
<BR>
Best thing about sex<BR>
is if ’twere electoral,<BR>
both parties would win!<BR>
<BR>
this little shard of pottery is taken from a loopy site called www.fashionhurts.com.  it's become one of my faves, not least because of the daily-changing haikus.  did you know the book of kells has never made it to the bestsellers list even after 1200 years in print?<BR>
<BR>
now that's solace for the lovelorn.  (why, i don't know, but somehow it's reasurring.)<BR>

Gala: That was just too good not to bump Auntie Gala. I laughed so hard I cried. Every day top of the page the Cucumber joke was there. (Even on Sunday Heaven Forbid) Then enter Maggie and I knew halo's would be game but this I never suspected..Glad you are back in force and hope you mend super fast...Gonna try the recipe, sounds wonderful!<BR>
<BR>
Kevin: wow, it's feast time. I love them all but I think 'back to the beginning' is my favorite of this group.<BR>
<BR>
Stans: 'Christmas Wish' made me cry. Then ' Fire Beyond the Valley,' did too.  Glad to see you back. Hope things will be better soon for you and yes we are all here for you. Crazy bunch can make you laugh and cry at the same time<BR>
<BR>
it doesn't matter: I loved all yours from this past week-end as well, so romantic sigh.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks to everyone for the comments, I love you all so much, inspiration comes from all of you. Funny how certain phrases can set your mind to work..lol Keep writing, this is one of my favorite reads!<BR>

Gala, you wanna know what happened to my halo? hehe... WELL..... there is a song  that goes ....<BR>
<BR>
 "Every morning there's a halo hanging from the corner of my girlfriends four post bed. I know it's not mine but I'll see if I can use it for the  weekend or a one night stand."<BR>
<BR>
well, see that was about me, a boyfriend took it one night and used ... and I think you know what I did with it when I found out.....

Jenna~ I  found 'Tree Talk' amazing in the imagery and extended metaphors. Beautiful writing...<BR>
<BR>
Stands~ Its good to see you back. Good posts, I especially liked 'Voice Among the Cedars'.<BR>
<BR>
erin~ 'meaningless objects, thoughts of you' was very thought provoking and sad. I loved the ending...<BR>
"you are my wish<BR>
on a star<BR>
that didnt come true."<BR>
<BR>
kevin~ Great posts. Of this batch I really was captivated by the message of 'what you did',  but I was delighted by the poetic flow of 'back to the beginning'. Both very good  work.<BR>
<BR>
scqueen~ 'For Joe' was beautiful and touching and made me wish my name was joe....lol. Great job. 'And Summwer Not' was just exquisite in its feel and nostalgia. Very well done.<BR>
<BR>
Mira~ I admire all your work, but 'If This Was But Heat' was breathtakingly sensual and loving. Excellent writing.<BR>
<BR>
deevaa~ 'The beauty within my talisman' was very touching in it honesty of emotion. It spoke volumes with an economy of words I wish I could learn.<BR>
<BR>
Ali~ 'Into the Woods'...sigh...just wonderful!<BR>
<BR>
BK~ 'Lock and Key' and 'Wildfire'...wow...just wonderful posts. Your writing does things to me.....lol.....good things...lol.<BR>
<BR>
There are lots of other great posts, but as usual, lately, I am behind... really great reading everyone. Wonderful, talented artists here for sure...<BR>
