Or maybe people are thinking more about what they post if they have to take the trouble to punch in a password?<BR>

Really, when you think about it... the new blender does not require us to key in a one word name to identify our poem / file (works) to be stored  - anymore. / as we used to before with the old blender..  so that is less keying / kind of equals out with the need to sign a password now... <BR>
So it should all even out.... not any more effort or work than before. <BR>
RIGHT ? ? ? <BR>

How many of you write on your own emotion, how many on others, and how many on pretend emotions? Just curious. I've been full of that lately.<BR>

Elaina~ Hi girl!!! OK, I'd say that 90% of the time I write from my own emotion...5% from others emotions, and the other 5% is just made up fictional ramblings...I'm big on writing when I'm emotional about something, whether it be happy, sad, excited, scared etc...You've had some awesome questions lately, dearie! So, there is my input...SMILE!!!<BR>
                                  Love and light, Ali

OHhhh...and, to me, what constitutes a good poem is reading it and knowing right off that it was just born that way:)

nice mix of the concrete and abstract images to create 'one perfect moment' <BR>
<BR>
feels like the scene was lifted out of 'reality' and became a sinuous moment in space...the words just float<BR>

Thanks Kirk for the picks, Kev and Angel, thanks for your comments. I love this place and all of you here. This will always be my writing home. I remember when I found you all last September, it was like getting hit with an avalanch of emotion, written by a cast of characters. Still is, and that's what makes this place so wonderful. The changes are looking good, can't wait for the rest. Keep up the good work Kirk, and 'thanks,' for the opportunity to post to a place I come to almost every day.<BR>

i love your stuff!!<BR>
<BR>
the concrete images you use make every line come alive...pictures just flow into my mind -- seeing every movement with a rhythmic liquidity which propels from your choice of words.  Your works are always so full -- they force you into reading them over and over seeing some new metaphor or hearing assonance for the first time.  <BR>
<BR>
you really have a gift...people underestimate the need to use concrete language and forego all the abstractions...you drive the point home with your work.<BR>
<BR>
Definitely artfully crafted poetry!<BR>
<BR>
Thank you!<BR>
