Terry: How are you doing? I still dig your work! =)
Ali: I read your poem "Heaven Help Me"...Wowzers, I really connected with it. It is beautiful! It reminds me of what I went through last year.
Just thought I'd let you know..
Terry: Oh Wow! "To the Heart of the Matter"...I dig it! I connected with it--it's also an experience I've went through with someone just recently...I miss her sometimes.
Good stuff!
Brandy: Wow! I just read Distorted Memories! definitely empowering! and it's so original--it's got a first-person feel and experience to it--amazing!

butterfly ~ no apology necessary! i'm glad you liked my poem. we all like to tease terry, so i just couldn't pass up the opportunity :-)
Riggs ~ i thought "twinkle twinkle stolen diamond" was going to be my favorite of yours this month until i read "going through the motions" - boy did that one capture something i'll bet everyone feels from time to time. when i see a new post by you, i feel the excitement of unwrapping a gift and anticipating what's inside! keep them coming!
2 Ali~ thank you
Unspoken words is something that realy happend
And I don't knowwhy but that is one of the things I never forgot that happend
And your new poems are also WOW...
Rod~ Thank you! I'm glad you liked it...means a lot to me.
Niki~ I'm happy u liked it...and your lately written poem was good.
Everyone, keep up the beautiful writing!
Love and peppermint, Ali
Mirabeau - "Ingestation" gave me a great feeling. I wish mine was a Gemini ;o)
-Jenna-
whatevers cousin - i really liked "Insert Gulp and Swallow" I don't know why but it made me smile.
BK...sorry for the mixup...but, online, the similarities of the two of you are UNCANNY!
Riggs...thanks a bunch for the comments...I was completely in the zone writing King Me...words that I SWEAR TO YOU, I did NOT know were coming out of me...lol...but regardless, thanks...I'm flattered that you would enjoy that
Kirk, blender astronaut, thank you for answering...and if I had my own site to run I'd keep my hand in it too, but why don't you just make it 50/50....50% democratic and 50% supreme rule from you....average them and then take the top ones...i've watched this site for some time, and although I LOVE the cover, let's get some revampin' goin on in here...voting and stuff would rock...1,000,000 hits? HA! Loveblender breaks through with 80,000,000 a day...of course half of that is me refreshing....don't mind me..i am just talking...oh, and I like Dusy Moon too, in it's own right
MOVING ON
Tanqueray Cowboy - thanks for your comment...I don't write to make it easy on the reader...thought provocation is my goal most generally...I always LOVE it when I let someone read a poem of mine and they say "whoa, that's deep" it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside lol ;-)
I know this is long, but now I have to give my Bravadas to those people who wrote poems that I read and enjoyed, and...truthfully I haven't read many...
Riggs - Going Through The Motions = awesome awesome awesome
3 whole awesomes and some clapping as well
BK - Audiovision - not only is the title great (cause I love making interesting and poems-within-themselves kind of titles) but the poem is excellent, i clap towards you as well
Sarah - prelude to sadness: part III....wow, i..that was really sad...no prelude there, just sad...I haven't seen part I or II but...I can't wait for IV
ok, i'll finish here so I don't waste anymore room on the board, sorry for it being so long. Later everyone, sorry if I didn't respond to you or didn't comment on your poem
While it is my habit to refrain from comments, I must take a moment to thank the lovely individuals who have seen fit to remark upon my work in a supportive, and positive fashion.
I also thank Kirk for the Front page pick---i was quite honored.
My life has been complex in the extreme in the last year---else I would have taken the time to comment on more of the material here. Truly---there is a vast amount of gifted writing---a much large proportion than I have noted at other poetry sites.
So for the lovely souls---Sc, Jenna, Kevin and Terry---and any I might have missed, a very happy new year. I wish you love---which may not be the only thing in life,
but certainly gives taste, form, and texture to all the rest.
Mirabeau
Oh Guys!
I am dancing for certain now---you all may recall that last month our very own Jack Rhyme was a featured poet on a website called achase.com....and we were proud as punch...
Well, a tiny bird whispers in my ear that this month,two more Blenderites have scored with achase....
Akash has a second place winner! Way to go dear guy! And Terry Leonard is their first place pick!
This is the cut and paste link---http://www.achase.com/book/poetry.htm---please visit and show support for our splendid crew......
Love,
Gala
Auntie Gala ~ not to whine, but i got honorable mention for "nitemoves"! i wouldn't have thought to check until i just read your post. it's not under scqueen but "Whitney Seals",
my name.
Do i ask too much
when i need your arms around me
Is it too much to ask for you to care
How much can it take
For you to let me know that I'm worthy
To let me know that you're there
Is it so painstakingly hard
To tell me straight up how you feel once and awhile
Does it kill you
To make just a little bit of time for me
Is it too much of a bother
To take time from one girl and spend it on another (me)
Obviously it isn't too much trouble
To keep to yourself and make me feel that I'm un needed
And not cared for
All I ask is for a man
Who will lend me a shoulder to cry on
Who will wrap his arms around me tight when its cold outside
Or even if I just need to be held
I just would like a man
That loves me for me
Who is happy with what is on my outside
As well as my inside
Someone who is happy with the way I do things
And if not, then will let me know so I can try to improve what i can
Without me having to change my whole self
I don't ask for alot
Basically just to be cared for and loved.
Im not asking for money or for a whole lot of your time
Just let me know that you care and that you know I'm alive
And if you happen to be that guy,
Don't only tell me but show me as well
For taking a few minutes out of your day to let me know you care
Will mean the world to me,
And I'll be sure to do the same for you
And SC my dear, how in the name of little green apples was i supposed to know that?
But kudos and a hug, my dear!
Love Auntie Gala
don't burst my bubble, i was under the impression that Auntie Gala knew all. besides that, i thought i submitted under 'scqueen', guess not!
Whitney dear....
The wee folk do very small magicks...miracle workers are another question! But I'm still proud of you---
and now everyone will know to look for your stuff too..
back to the cookies dear...and a happy new year!
Oh Slug....
This last year has truly sucked at times. I loved having the chance to meet Dee for real---I have thanked god for the friends I've made, and the special souls who have managed to touch my life in a hundred ways large and small.
I've had dear ones threatened by illness, and known people who faced adversity with such class, style, and grace, that I was truly ashamed of myself for griping. I lost Anna---who I miss especially in time of year. And if I could do one wonderful thing in my life, it would be to ease the awful sting of someone faced with the loss of an especially loved one.
Della sounds like a soul spun of pure gold. I think you said she put the first journal in your hands---that was both sensitive, and wise of her. Thank you dear Slug for sharing her with us. We all get caught up in things that seem important---and tend to forget the ones who loved us best. You always loved her---so you're miles ahead of the pack.
Please know that you will be thought of often,
and with care and concern. Hugs dear girl---and love from the FGM....

I've decided to try my hand at an online journal thingy, on http://kisrael.com. I haven't set up all the infrastructure, but you can see the first entry there. I thought my mentioning it here I'll have more people looking at it, which will kick me into updating the damn thing.
