I loved 'Dewy'. It was just so simple and beautiful and very metaphoric :)<BR>

I knew the 10 of cups was a tarot card...but I didn't want to unleash my grand psychic knowledge on the unsuspecting Blenderites.  Me and Cleo go WAY back!!!<BR>

Dear B.K.<BR>
Thank you for your comments on "Fire Walker".  I am relatively new (this year) to the Blender.  I feel like the prodigal daughter returning after a long time gone.  The Love Blender has been my salvation through many tearful nights alone, and my collaborator during months of passion and joy.  You are all such excellent writers,I stand completely in awe every time I return to the new submissions.  Thank you for adding beauty and interest to my days.<BR>
<BR>
Seriously, I wish I could have a one-on-one conversation with each of you.  I know the conversation would be awesome based on the quick-witted comments I read on the board.<BR>
<BR>
Laurel- "I am From" was lovely and reminiscent.  We must be from the same times &lt;sigh&gt;.<BR>
<BR>
Misti- you can come to dinner any time!  "10 of Cups" was great.  Loved "Romance of Religion".  Come on down to Houston for some fresh shrimp and a Corona with lime.<BR>
<BR>
Nothing- "Hold on To" was very well written.<BR>
<BR>
Echolocation- "The Game" I can identify with this so well.  My husband travels internationally, and I'm single far too many nights.  Loved the poem,though.<BR>

B.K. - you asked for it, so here's two older works.  The second is a little off because the ALLCAPS is meant to be in italics, but I think it still works.<BR>

Misti and Ali ~<BR>
Are you both talking about "Female Figure With Head of Flowers" by Dali?  That is an amazing piece.  Also, his "Honey is Sweeter than Blood" tears through me.<BR>

Tricia TTX; I know exactly how you feel, this place has been wonderful for me as well. It's a great group and we  don't bite too hard..ha ha. Glad you are here, can't wait to read more of your work.<BR>
<BR>
Rogue; Both poems are excellent <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.14.11.05.23218">Delicious</a> made me taste the apple just reading it..ha and <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.14.11.16.29153">Knight in Green Tennies</a> was wonderful to read. More please?<BR>
<BR>
Misti; <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2001.12.13.20.44.29499">10 of Cups</a> was excellent. Funny, I was thinking how hard it would be to get me to cook for anyone..ha <BR>
