Yeah!!!<BR>
Arwen and Violet are back.   I hope everything is well with you both.  <BR>

Pepper sounds wonderful.  I wish you great joy.<BR>

I LOVE Daft Punk!  They have a way with music that puts you in a romantic mood - melodic and up beat.  Barry White is great, but how can anyone maintain energy with him soothing you to sleep?<BR>

The Ark is wonderful.  It is clear that you spent time crafting the dialogue.<BR>

Duty is a fabulous poem by Sarah Teasdale.  I am not too familiar with her work and if Duty represents her well, I need to pay more attention to her.<BR>

I am sure I have already told you how much I enjoy your work - but No Reply Necessary is one of the most tender quotes I have ever read.  <BR>

Interesting submission. "Power Play and Soul Mates" reminds me of the film, "Hedwig and the Angry Inch." Take a look at it, paying particular attention to the song wherein s/he tells a story of a time when human creatures came in three sexes, and all had two bodies within one. It is beautiful. And I enjoyed your prose.

Hi there - my first time on the board and just wanted to say I'm blown away by the work on here :)  <BR>
<BR>
Vixen - your poem <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.01.09.05.30.29933"></a> is very deep and touching.  I was thinking about being at a choice point/point of no return just before I read your poem.  Scary huh...  Thank you - it was very timely :)<BR>

Rhet~ Thanks.  You're always so sweet.  I've been on vacation... and I'm having a hard time with my poetry lately.  Hopefully my pen will start to flow again.  :-) It's good to be back, and I look foward to reading your poems.

Why TJ Holland,<BR>
You are either in a fan-freakin-tastic mood today (judging by your 2 comments this afternoon) OR you came too close to the barrel of industrial strength glue and are high of the fumes!!<BR>
<BR>
Teej, there are a few (more than a few...but hey) people that clearly floor me with their posts here (you are one of 'em), but I am sincere when I drown people in praise.  If I tell ya I like something - I really like it and it moves me.  You FREQUENTLY grab me.  I just don't want to be viewed as the constant sugar-coater.  You know?  I feel as if I say too much at times and should just keep my fingers to myself when I get the urge to ramble on about the work of another.<BR>
<BR>
But, thank you for the kind words and the not forgotten advice about margaritas!<BR>
