oh dear lord! i can't read the new subs!! has the blender got a bug or is it my computer?? aaagh!
Hmm... It's working fine for me. You might want to call tech support.
i don't know how to call tech. support. :-) others over here in my corner of my state are having trouble connecting to it too... so i know it isn't just me. *sigh*
Down for me too Violet...... weirdness
You see at the end of every month Kirk takes all the poems away to create the new Front Page. HA
Just submit something and it starts all over again.
Today is Gala's Birthday Everybody! I hope it's wonderful woman. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Thanks Dee...

Gala
Gala!! Happy Birthday Woman!! ;-)
Hey guys,
Well, looks like Donovan is in the clear for this National Guard call! YAY! As of right now, I'm kinda in writers block mode, so i'm hoping reading some of others' poems will help!
Tangerine/Harem – “Prisoner of Pain” = a smart one on a tough subject, if you haven’t already, I’d love to see you get this submitted to some emotional/physical abuse zines - both men’s and women’s.
Rhetoric - Territorial Pissings was fantastic! It really struck a chord with me and I can relate to it. I read it three times over straight off. Pure WOW factor! Plus it's based on a wickedy song anyway... but all I can say is WOW! WOW! WOW! Loved it. Mind if I forward it to my most recent ex? Not sure he'll fully appretiate it tho. :-)

Chris and I were talking about music that will "age well" last night. He said decades from now the Beatles may stand, jazz will definitely stand, but Nirvana won't stand. I disagree. "Territorial Pissings" is one of my favorites. And "Aneurysm" and "Drain You" and "Something in the Way" ad nauseum. Great poem, btw!!!
Truelies ~
Thank you, thank you!! I am glad you enjoyed my latest. Of course you can send this to your favorite ex!! It really is about any man (or woman I guess) who refuses to take a bow and move on. Like dogs, they piss to mark their property. I hate that! Game players and freaks - I wonder if they rule the world sometimes!!

I both agree with Chris AND you. I don't think Nirvana is as classis as say the Beatles, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, or even more modern artists like REM. BUT, to those in my broader generation (late 20's to early 30's), Nirvana is a classic. I am not a head-bangin goth chic, but grunge and indie rock are serious "voices" that I recognize. And yes - Nirvana did change the mainstream scene ten or so years ago- that makes them important to future music critics!!! Something in the way - oh yeah! I also love Gimme Back my Alcohol from the Bleach album! Thanks for the praise Lake Family!
Rhetoric
Yes, Rhet, it's true. Your source is correct. I do have an arsenal of past musings that have not made it to the Blender. Many just don't seem fitting for the climate here.
Your latest, Territorial Pissings, is a superb concoction!
hey rhet~ you're one damn talented chica! ;-) Nice poem!!
Just Some Girl ~
Happiness they say (just ask Paul and Ringo), is a warm gun. I will lock mine up in the safety of a steel vault!!
Violet ~
You are such a doll! No October 1 treats for me today?
I look to see if any of your pieces last month made it to the front page of our upcoming digest.

And Kev...
Thank you! I heard that sone on the way to work today, and couldn't get it out of my head!
Gala (dancing!)
lizzikins...
I liked both of your submissions today, but especially the untitled one... I particularly like the line "It's come to this:/You can't say the words/And I don't want to." I know that feeling... thanks for the poems!
peace,
-flash
i'm being gripped by writer's block... :-( i hate feeling like you need to write and not being able to! i just thought i would pout about it publicly. have a nice day everyone. ;-)
Gala ~ You're welcome. And I hope you had a wonderful birthday :-)
Kev ~ Now how 'bout some "Locomotion" while you're at it...
(yes, I know it's not MY birthday. hee hee)
Celebrations and Salutations to All!
Some goodies are on the radar today:
Wryshadow ~
I liked Nightingale very much. What a beautiful story you tell.
Teej ~
Every Prison is clever. Do you enjoy your work? It seems as though you do. It reminds me of a southern jail where everyone is a "boy" or a "son".

Autumn born... is a fitting piece to the subject and a wonderful work standing on its own. Once again, we are talking about this season and I am coming off a weekend in teh mountains!
Where's all the good stuff that's missing? Sigh.
"nightingale" made me cry
