Hello all,<BR>
If anyone is interested in reading some of my non romance poetry and prose, let me know and I'll be more than happy to email some to you.<BR>
Also if anyone is interested or cares I've written a few follow up poems to my own <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.03.00.50.11167">Canned Lima Beans</a>. Which I'll be glad to post. <BR>

I'm lovin' *Love Junkie*...been there myself more than a few times. Hang in there! Otis Redding and Billie Holiday cds help. Not really, but they make the ache sweeter.

Gala!  <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.11.09.40.16241">love junkie</a> was great to read.  Wonderful introspection and stark (that word fit perfect in your poem) look at what makes us _____.  Multiple choice or fill in the blank; whatever makes us whatever we are today.  Bravo woman.  The last two lines made the whole thing zing.  Hats off from one CB to another (NOT that you were talking about yourself in the piece!) ahem.

broken angel - <BR>
afraid is such a pouring...I love it.<BR>
<BR>
In my own private hell<BR>
Of my own making<BR>
<BR>
Love Sucks!!  You captured the stress (maybe not the right word) of accepting love.<BR>
<BR>
Just Some Girl - <BR>
Great way of expressing a feeling.  <BR>
<BR>
I no longer recognize you...<BR>
<BR>
Calculated and perfectly executed sentiment - it creates an entirely different emotional release.  You aren't rejecting...just not seeing it/him/etc as you did before.  I like it.  I like the simplicity of your works...but I have told you that before a million times!<BR>
<BR>
Gala -<BR>
love junkie - very intense!!  The tone makes me feel as if I am right there too.  Maybe 'cause I am a needy bitch! <BR>
<BR>
Michael T - Hold on Tight<BR>
you swoon me.  With this you strip off the sarcasm that I read in so many of your works and just speak.  Wow.<BR>
<BR>
Stephen - Ferry<BR>
You too - swoon me, that is!  <BR>
The tug boat - great idea.<BR>
in turmoil they crawl, in puddles they join<BR>
<BR>
Well Done<BR>

Madi ~ I SO wish I were coming to Austin for Christmas, but maybe I'll shoot for Jan or Feb. My nephew will be a year old in Feb! I'll keep you posted.<BR>

SCQueen; Ha, I was thinking maybe one nut and duball were both the same person. Maybe, they could save each other. <BR>

'The Romance of Religion'...I loved this poem, girl...It was simply great...*smile*<BR>
<BR>
It brought to mind this T-Shirt I'm thinking about buying...On the front of it is a basket, sorta like a picnic basket...And then there is the words: "Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?"  Hehe...<BR>
<BR>
Anyway, I liked your poem...*smile*<BR>
<BR>
Love and soft rain, Ali

Me too.  I thought Dubal was DD/ONJ/BVV/etc.<BR>
That is funny that we were thinking the same thing...although the controlled language made me wonder if it was him.  He didn't once call anyone a whore OR tell Kirk that his site sucked.  Oh well, maybe it is another personality coming out.<BR>
<BR>
I am trying to perfect my newest personality...introverted, salesperson with slight lisp.  I can't wait to give her a dry-run this holiday!<BR>

Rhet...er, uh...Maggie, yeah that's right
