I loved A Groovy Kind Of Love, it reminds of the Phil Collins with the same name.  I swear I heard the song playing in the background.  Nice.

My only problem with poets who post under more than one name is that when I really like someone's work, I become greedy and want to read ALL of it.   And it is so much easier to read it all in one place....and while the antics on the board are certainly entertaining, I almost feel disappointed when I find out someone is really just someone else I've read before.....don't know if that makes sense, it is 5 in the morning after all, but I thought I would share......

Jon; Phil Collins did the re=do. The original was done (its too early to get this right) I think by John Sebastian and The Loving Spoonful. I would have to do research and I don't have the time. If anyone else knows differently tell us please. The song has been around since at least the 60's. I love it too. Thanks Jon.<BR>

Jon; Took a quick look thru google. Great source! The Mindbenders (check it out) did it first. It's a Carole Bayer Sayers song. Great Oldie!<BR>

Jon, <BR>

Thanks for your comment.  Love, it has ups and downs.  I just perfer to write about the downs.  The hard times are supposed to make you stronger right?  Like the saying, "what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger."  I guess we will see.<BR>

I am so far behind on reading the poetry posted, so I will try to catch up....Jon...I felt every line of <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.01.29.00.34.16562">Too Bad</a> , and yes, it is too bad when that happens!   <BR>
<BR>
Kevin: <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.01.29.08.04.23192">wanting mute </a>  is so achingly beautiful..I have to confess, the first time I stumbled upon the Blender, several months ago, I read everything you posted, and I even shared some of it with friends, because you are GIFTED.   In a way, it was your poems that got me hooked in the first place. <BR>

Voice...broken:   I read <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.01.29.12.13.3252">To Be A Bitch</a>  and suddenly felt like I had been slapped in the face.  I have been someone's mistress for awhile now, and you know what?  You SHOULD make your voice heard to her.  Because for as long as I have known this man, I have heard only what he wants me to know about his wife.  The same old cliches, she doesn't love me, I don't love her, it's for the kids.....but if I had even once laid eyes on the woman, heard her voice, seen her face, it would have been so much harder for me to continue.  I can pretend she doesn't exist.  And I like to think she doesn't know that I do. <BR>
<BR>
Bacardi:  your work, all of it to date, is very intriguing. <BR>

The misstress, she doesn't respect anything about us, or me.  She believes that he is going to leave me for her.  Not going to happen.  What makes it hard is that she found out about this cite and now rights poetry about him here too.  It hurts.  But I keep living, keep breathing, keep loving him.  God give me strength!?!  Thank you though for your encouragement.  <BR>

Posting as "Marc McNabb" (as opposed to Mark) is a bit too close to "pseudofraud". That particular account has been shutdown.  Please avoid that behavior in the future. I haven't had time to read all through the latest board back and forth on similar issues.
