I was wondering if there could be a little index somewhere, linked to previous pieces. I am a devoted fan and writer who can not show my work being shown because I can't find it. Do you best please, <BR>
thank you<BR>

Dawn Michele, try this:  <BR>
Go to www.google.com (or simply type in google in your address bar, the computer should do the rest) & type this in the search bar: dawn michele site:loveblender.com<BR>
<BR>
When you get to the results open the page and use the keyboard shortcut ctrl-F (or Edit/Find from your screen) then type in your name again.  Voila! - you should find your poem.

<a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.10.07.14.54.5082">Manslaughter</a> is haunting.  That movie was great!  I love how you pulled your story through it.  The scene in the truck at the end when he decides to make it his reality – I was so anxious to figure it all out.<BR>

 <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.10.09.02.30.7806">Do Not Bend Me</a> is so cool – I wish I could do that – give age to my words with language.  I like all three that you put up. You really have a great feel for Old English speech patterns.  I like this one, too: <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.10.09.02.25.5574">I Have Elected Grief</a> - nine lines of pure inner torment!  <BR>

Thanks Rhet, Madison. You guys are too kind.<BR>

Madi ~ I loved one, "one, one thousand, two"! And the title was great! And "Channel 7" is part of it too? Very nice! Reminds me what I miss because I have no current lover.<BR>
<BR>
Jack ~ I'm not sure if you meant for "How Damned I Be" to be funny. But it kinda was. Reminded me how those domestic squabbles are so dramatic, but have those little bits of funny foolishness and pride that get stuck in there! Thanks for the giggle!<BR>
<BR>
Inversion ~ all these memories invoked for me with the poems here lately! "Sunday Morning Grind" tastes like my time living in Seattle with my (then) new husband. Thank you!<BR>

thank you TJ, but nah ...those two weren't really supposed to be connected, wish I'd submitted them spaced a month apart or something.  One is a positive view on the theme of lightning & thunder, the other is supposed to be a negative slant of the same theme  ('one, one thousand, two' should have read "between our kisses" instead of "between your kisses" to make it clear the lovers are parted by either physical or emotional distance) - -  but however anyone reads them, whatever they get from poetry, is good by me!

scqueen, you know what, I read your comment and thought, "how do these people remember when they joined the blender??"<BR>
<BR>
... and then I actually thought about it, I joined the blender 2 days before my birthday, when a comment by Shadygirl caught my eye, she wanted to throw a birthday party for her brother (whose birthday is on day before mine) but her parents didn't want her too.... that was in 1998... *pulls a face*<BR>
<BR>
Kevin, Misti, Gala, Angel, Zoe, Heartsong, Isolde... all regulars back then...<BR>
<BR>
and my favourite erotic poet X ... goodness I miss those words....<BR>

I was thinking the other day about your paintings...And how much I like them...I seem to rememeber you having a website where you posted the ones you have for sale...And I wanted to go have a look...*praying that I haven't lost my mind, and imagined that*...Could you post the address? Thanks!<BR>

Ali, you read right...  the address is:<BR>
<BR>
http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~deevaa<BR>
<BR>
only the 1999 and the 2001 pages are linked in at the moment, I've not had time to catch up on the 2000 works.<BR>
<BR>
Most of my paintings sell for between US$120 - 300, but the prices aren't on my site, you'll have to email me for indiviual prices.<BR>
<BR>
Take care,<BR>

Thanks for the compliment - I feel that something was driving me to put these feelings into words that are so brittle and raw without apprehension of what I would write next - with sheer animosity - of course, that is the abridged version...and I didn't do anything with it other than post it - LOL.  I'm glad you got a kick out of it - Thanks again!<BR>
