Misti~Matt hale was great. I have to say you were the reason I came to this site, I got an e-mail from you once from reading my diary on diaryland! Quite awhile ago. One of my favorites by you ever had to be from depraved to CRAVED. Good stuff chicka

Thanks, Teej. I wrote that poem after reading Penny Arcade's poems in the *Verses That Hurt* PoemFone collection. Between reading that and the unauthorized Patti Smith bio, I'm goin' crazeeeee! Mediocrity! Uggghhhh...<BR>
Rhet, thanks to you, too. Compliments from you mean a lot 'cause you were born in the Year of the Rabbit. ;-)I'm being dumb. Really, I admire your writing as well. So thank you!<BR>
Courtney...diaryland! I forgot all about that place! I wonder if my diary is still up? I've forgotten my username and password. Thanks, chica. Glad you like.

Rhet, all thanks to you. You know, if I wasn't so busy being a mom to two kids and a slave to two jobs I'd post more comments about the greatness here. As it stands I barely have time to dream up a poem while I'm alseep in the shower. <BR>

Oooh! Rhet! Each of our latest submissions are kind of tied together. Weird, as I hadn't read yours before I submitted mine. They are different, of course, but they share a thing or two. <BR>
<BR>
Hey! It's like an English Lit assignment..."Discuss the similarities and differences between these two writer's works using <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.01.05.19.27.3979">Bitter Rant after a Night in a Bar</a> and <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.01.05.19.27.3979">Bitter Rant after a Night in a Bar</a>.
