Dez ~ From your message with that poem... I quote: "I wrote this in the middle of a coffeehouse, and then got up and read it as the last poem of the night. I got a standing ovation, although I don't think it deserved it...." I think you probably deserved the applause.

Dez, I agree with Michael. Though your suicide poems leave me chilled...(probably means they're good too)<BR>
<BR>
Have you been lurking here for a while? You must have been saving up your poems...maybe that's why you and Harem seem to have a little thang goin' on...you both produce VOLUME! lol!<BR>

I have been coming to this site for a little over a year now just reading what you all have written.  And I decided to start adding some of mine to the mix.  Thought I might get comments here good and bad to help improve my writing.  and then also just to have some fun.

Sorry that I did not get to IM you last night. <BR>
I went out after writing my last comment to you,<BR>
and did not get home till after midnight.<BR>
Just took a quick peek at the board this morning,<BR>
before having to go to work.<BR>
Didn't want you to think that I ignored you.<BR>
<BR>
I was wondering why you singled me out, to want to <BR>
chat?  <BR>
By the way, your poetry is simply MARVELOUS !!!<BR>
Sorry, I just woke up and feeling silly....<BR>
Got to run now and jump in the shower and fly up the road.<BR>
I shall return...<BR>
With comments about your writing !<BR>
Promise.<BR>
Don't feel bad that I did not IM  you.....<BR>
I am mysterious and secretive, and love my privacy...<BR>
and would need a damn good reason to give it up.<BR>
So give me a damn good reason !!<BR>

You got me TJ!  I do sleep with my feet uncovered - hanging off the bed, as if ready to jump up at any moment to sprint away.  Now that we have confirmed that - let us move in another direction.  You are a funny bunch of folk 'round here.  I even saw a posting of a Ruffus Wainright song - that takes me back!  I love it.  This place can be as serious as silence one posting, then twirl around to hit you right in the belly with laughter.  But really TJ, His Poison is marvelous.  If I were one of those gals that succombed to HIS Poison, rahter than HERS - it would have spelled me out like Scrabble. When I see a new posting from a poet that strikes me (since I am new and ONLY have the newbies to read) I go back and read ALL of that person's repitoire.  So, TJ - you are one of many on my list!<BR>

   I fear that my angel eyes couldn't handle such heated torture.  The idea of reading erotica from so many of you that CAN ACTUALLY WRITE (unlike the Seuss-scribble that is peddled as Erotica) would set my loins a-blaze.  I can only wimper a plea to allow my doe-eyed-chocolates to witness such a surge of sexual literature some time in the future.  If that ain't reason to stick around - I can't find another.<BR>
<BR>
To all, a miracle of a day!  I am cooking up a celebration feast for my darlin'.  <BR>

ah ha !!!  So you think you know so much about me.... !!!!<BR>
*giggle<BR>
I have revealed only that which I choose to.<BR>
I hide behind "Harem"<BR>
I have shared thoughts, and feelings only.<BR>
But my true identity, no one knows.<BR>
The fact that I am a man pretending to be a woman<BR>
has completely bypassed everyone.<BR>
The fact that I am only three feet tall<BR>
and have a pierce tongue remains my secret.<BR>
The fact that I live in the middle east <BR>
and was born in Russia...I have hidden.<BR>
The fact that I raise camels for a living,<BR>
and have sold my virgin daughters to <BR>
wealthy men in Israel... I hide.<BR>
The fact that I was born with only one eye<BR>
remains my secret.<BR>
That I spent 10 years in prison for <BR>
murdering over a hundred people in two years.<BR>
That I was arrested in the United States<BR>
twice, when I lived there,<BR>
for being married to fifteen american<BR>
women, all at the same time.<BR>
My true identify.<BR>
My real name.<BR>
what I look like<BR>
where I work<BR>
my marital status<BR>
my inherent cruelty to animals<BR>
my lust for perverted pleasures<BR>
my bald head<BR>
my many tattoos.<BR>
I have carefully concealed ...<BR>
<BR>
And so yes, <BR>
I do have a secretive life...<BR>
and NO  TJHolland...<BR>
You know very little about me...<BR>
but what I chose to reveal<BR>
in my fantasy pretend land of deceiving illusions.<BR>

Got to go now, and get one of my wives off my back.<BR>
She wants to use the computer,<BR>
and her heckling is driving me crazy.<BR>

WOW,  WOW,   WOW!!!!<BR>
<BR>
Today was a banner day at The Blender.  I am taken aback with all the wonderful words I have read - on this, just an ordinary Wednesday.  From the directions by deeva that send me running for the Merry GoRound by ~Harem~, I am swooning.  Then, my guide tells me to look up into your sky by gala and I am blinded with language and love.  Madison has a good thing coming with a one night stand, all alone with S. Fisher.  And guppy - what not to say is far better  than what I fought to say.  <BR>
<BR>
I am just dropping hints at a few of the gems I read after I holed up in my office at home to get my Blender fix.  The juice is good, but the juice was potent and strong today.  One again, I cry out WOW!!!<BR>

I have lost motivation to post now because I want to go back and read some of those again and again.<BR>

Funny, but I remember that so clearly...<BR>
We had some guy posting with some realy raunchy poems...<BR>
about how a woman's private parts stunk...<BR>
and three or four rude poems about his tool.<BR>
Well, I was submitting some of my writing, at<BR>
the same time that Kirk was deleting his stuff, <BR>
I guess because it was so offensive and tasteless.<BR>
Somehow, his poem and mine got hooked to each other.<BR>
When I checked my submission... it had my title, and<BR>
my name as author, but with his poem about his private<BR>
part....<BR>
At first I felt confused as to what happened.<BR>
And then I got that note on the board, asking me<BR>
if I was a man....<BR>
*giggle.....  <BR>

I have been so silly today. I get crazy when I am really tired and not having enough sleep. and now I am exhausted.<BR>
