Rhetoric,<BR>
Thank you for the kind comment about Four A.M. My inspiration is my experience, my life, my mistakes, and one rather large mistake in particular which I can't seem to turn the corner on. My attempts to write poetry are centered in the moment, a particular experience, and are written in a short time. I don't do much word smithing (and it shows) preferring to let my emotions flow, besides I'm much too lazy to work on expanding my vocabulary. <BR>

Thanks for the comment Rhetoric...<BR>
I'm glad someone else in the world understands how annoying things like that can be...and how much it all just frankly pisses me off...so very off.<BR>

Knowing how to keep the heart happy is a miracle; keeping it unattainable makes us yearn for love all the more.<BR>
<BR>
Now that I work in a factory I find little time to post here on the board, but what I can say for all I've read recently, I've never been prouder to put my stuff on a better site. =) Keep smiling everyone!!!! <BR>

Sounds really nice..really good quality recording.. You got to tell me how you recorded it...like the program... the hardware.. etc.. Good job m8.

           Almost Two years ago, I "met" Deevaa Abioye here in the blender. Last year, I met her for real. She has been a good friend---a source of support, and someone I truly value and treasure. So I hope you will all join me in wishing her a splendid birthday.<BR>
<BR>
           Dee?  You rock girl. And then some!<BR>

Darlin Rhet, Holly, MichaelT; You guys make me smile and I Thank You all. I have a bad case of the creeping crud, and I think I have the 'Terrorist Blues,' to go with it. I've been trying to write to my Darlin for two days while holding up my poor head. This anthrax scare is terrible here, seems like everyone is getting envelopes of powder and or bomb scares every day. I pray all this stops soon!<BR>
Meanwhile, I just needed a smile. Thanks you all. This is why I love this place so much!<BR>

I dislike reposting things for the sake of other people's annoyance, so I just wanted to correct something in my current poem, <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.10.16.19.50.6481">Love & Addiction</a> ~~~  It's Standon Peele, not Stundon Peele.. Fair apologies to those who respect this author enough to be bugged by the missname.<BR>
