I am new to the Blender... so if somebody could read one or two of my poems and let me know what you all think, I would greatly appreciate it. <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.01.19.08.23950">pleasure</a>  <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.01.19.00.18150">the fine line.....</a>   <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.01.18.55.15661">sigh.......</a>

Has anybody ever loved someone else so much that it hurt? WOW!! I've been with my guy for almost 2 years... we have a daughter together... I love him more than anything, but I am still longing.... I want to be his wife. I want to hold the title for the job I already fulfill. Is that selfish, is that wrong? I personally don't think it is. We are supposedly just waiting until we become more financially stable, but it's DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! How do I cope with it? Any advice????  I really love the Blender, by the way.. =) This web site has helped me out more than anyone will ever know.. I can release all of my built-up frustrations and then talk about my romantic life.... this is just an awesome site and everyone here really knows how to write... it's like you people put my feelings into words... that is truely a gift :)

Dee~ The Pilot's Wife really is great!  And I agree with what you said about the Bin Laden thing.  I get it everyday... so nice to escape from it here.  This sight is for romance related works.

I don't know what musical tastes you have, but your poem Pleasure, definitely reminded me of two bands. One is Nine Inch Nails, the song Eraser, in which part of the lyrics are: lose me hate me smash me erase me--similar format.<BR>
The other band is an older band called King Crimson, the song The Ladies of the Road, lyrics are: would you like to taste her, and even crave the flavor.<BR>
<BR>
That's all I really had to say

maybe part of the reason you wrote the moon poems is because it was just a full moon, and a blue moon at that.

To Stephen, Deeva, and Jackrhyme ~<BR>
<BR>
I do believe you are right that the Bin Laden thing has been over done, and I apologize for having put it here.  Many of the other sites that I write on, have special categories just for the 911-America thing.<BR>
I had second thoughts about putting it here, and should have listened to my gut feelings.  I don't even side with thoughts of the last bin laden poem that I submitted .... just thought it was humorous and wanted to share.  I personally don't believe in revenge.... as everything has a purpose and fulfillment, which I belive is in the hands of a higher power.  <BR>
<BR>
This is a romance and love sight, and we should use it as a refuge from the world's problems.<BR>
And I also agree, that all the countries, including the U.S., have their shameful horrors to account for.<BR>
Again, I apologize, and hope that Kirk deletes all reminders of the ugly sides of life.<BR>

jasmine; Thank you for your comments, I like your moon poems as I am quite partial to the moon and stars. My favortie poems are ones about kissing.. ha<BR>
<BR>
preciousprnces; welcome to the blender. It's a wonderful place to write<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
jehad; ha pretty obvious who that one was for<BR>
<BR>
It's dangerous to get my Red White and Blue blood boiling (speaking of heathen fundamentalist terrorist slime) so best if we speak love and romance here ha ha instead of poor, brainwashed,left handed motherless sons of swine, wound up like coo coo clocks and aimed at us.<BR>

Thanks for the compliments on my latest mania inspired poem. I'm trying to put together a decent body of work for the chapbook contest.<BR>

Misti - <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.11.02.10.31.29901">Beguiling By Age 12</a> is amazing.  I love it!  Your entry was the first I clicked on today and I just had to rush right over to the board and comment. Very Ginsberg to me...have you ever read his piece "A Supermarket in California" - it has the same kinda feel as your newest.  This is what I wish my more "stream of consciousness" stuff could sound like.  Very, very well done.<BR>
Also - I found the words for the writers challenge, finally.  Are these the same you got today?<BR>

Ok, I'm looking to get things cleaned up now.<BR>
<BR>
Does it seem like things are missing, replaced by blanks, or just blanks inserted?

Weird. <BR>
<BR>
That problem cleaned up easily.  I'm not sure if it was maliousness, someone being stupid, or even a bug in a script of mine.  <BR>
<BR>
I tried playing with a script or two, seeing if there was some obvious way to duplicate the effect, but I couldn't find it.<BR>
<BR>
It doesn't look like works were lost, just judging by the number.<BR>
<BR>
I'm a little more suspicious about this than I would be otherwise, since twice in the past few days my Blender-Keeper password has been mailed to me, as if someone hoped my password mailing system would mail it to their address.<BR>
<BR>
I'm making my own backup of the site now.  My webhost does some, but I should be keeping up with it more than I am.

Go to http://www.projectgreenlight.com on Friday mornings until about noon. Click on "community" and then "message boards." You'll need a user name and password. Then click on the first forum, the basic projectgreenlight forum. You'll find the writer's challenge thread there. Have fun!<BR>
;-)<BR>
Since Rhet just posted the list on the Board, anyone who is interested should try the challenge out. Any takers? Gala? Michael? Violet? BK?
