Hey Rhet, thanks, I'm glad you liked "Love me Still, Forever." <BR>
<BR>
It seems as though I can't think of anything else to write anymore. Mainly because I'm single now, and I write about what is happening in my love life. Since I have no love life right now, so no writing for a while. However, I am still checking on everybody's writing, and you are all still holding me in complete adoration! Carry on my friends, carry on!<BR>

Thanks for picking Talking Picture Frame as one of your picks!  I deeply appreciate that...I like all your works, most of them are frank...they speak to me as if you are a person that means what you say and say what you mean.  Just wondering if that is the way you are?  <BR>

Dear Rhet and Mistie,<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for the selections of FRAMED and come haiku me ... seems the two merged recently in HAIKU ADIEU FAUX HAIKU (last line was meant to be untrue haiku, btw), so interesting you two should pick these two works of mine. On the selections you made of the other poets, I went back and read each poet's lines again with new eyes and mind for additional insights to them and you ... again, thanks ..... Rennie

sorry for being so late on this topic guys but ya know me, gotta get my worthless 2 cents it so here we go:<BR>
<BR>
Leamas~ i didn't take offense to what you said but i found it contradictory, to me at least, this is only my personal opinion but no poetry is "thougtless" because at least to me anything i write about is somethign i care about very very deeply, however short it may be, and as long as i feel it fitting to post or someone tells me they liked it, it wasn't thoughtless. no poem or story or whatever it may be it thoughtless as long as the person who wrote it thinks it's acceptable and meaningful. just from my experience, i never write about something thats thoughtless to me. So i think your questions should be changed to "does any of you ever feel as though your poetry is thoughtless" and not that you think some is.<BR>

oh no not religion again!!!!ahhhh i'm already confused enough with all kinds of opinions flying around!!!

P.S. Jack Kerouac<BR>
<BR>
You're so laid back, the only man for you could be Jack Kerouac. The hipster king of the Beat generation, Kerouac immortalized his devil-may-care lifestyle in such novels as On the Road and The Dharma Bums. If you allow the occasional substance into your system, Jack is definitely the man for you. You and he also share a mistrust of authority and conformity, but you both have a firm belief that life is an adventure. Live it.<BR>
<BR>
...I knew it! And Jack died living at home with his mom, which I fear may be my destiny as well.

Oh goodness, I must agree with Inflable Sushi (great post in <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.08.26.17.51.23845">This Life (And There Is No Other)</a> as well, I must add) - your latest post <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.08.26.12.30.27268">Regrets Only</a> was magnificent, amazing, splendid, and full of grace and wit.  Wow oh Wow!  I was at dinner tonight talking with a few local blenderites about our lack of worthwhile personal postings -and all I can say now is that I wish I had written that one. <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.08.26.12.30.27268">Regrets Only</a> is a masterful commentary on the lives we lead and the choices we make. The language is so simple, yet the words mean SO much with how you have placed them together.<BR>

You know Rhett Darlin, this place sort of comes and goes. Just when you think it's dull, something always happens to change it. I think that's the drawing card here. Curiosity makes you just have to know whats going to happen next.

Yep, I know what you mean.  There have some really polished gems of late - but none from my head.  So, while eating my spinach salad tonight, I told these two pals my tale of woe and mental boredom.  I want to get a spark to get me at the page.  Soon enough winter will come and dreary-ness will fill my eyes.  I am most inspired while I am sad.  I wait for sadness! Writing is my personal therapy - when I feel good, I don't think about my lonely pen.<BR>
<BR>
What about you - how is the faraway lover? I need to get over to see my brother in Clarksville...I could trade you cups of tea for inspiration (maybe at Wild Oats???)!<BR>
<BR>
Oh, but that one by foolish really got me.  I went back and read more by the artist and although I enjoyed them, not one hit me with this much power.<BR>
<BR>
Oh, BTW kevin urenda, I meant to add <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2002.08.07.11.04.11335">caught</a> to the comments about your posts.  Somehow, I didn't add it - but I make reference to 2 posts from you.  That was the other.  FABULOUS moment you paint for us.<BR>

I knew it. <BR>
<BR>
*Virginia Woolf*<BR>
<BR>
"You're bookish, intense, and profoundly self-conscious - just like prolific modernist writer Virginia Woolf. Woolf, author A Room of One's Own, To the Lighthouse, and Orlando, was dedicated to experimentation with language and novelistic form and was a committed feminist (so look out guys). Of course, Woolf was also plagued by chronic bouts with depression and sexual anxiety and, near the end of her life, heard voices and refused food. So don't expect a light evening on the town."<BR>
<BR>
I'm still reading *The Shining*...it fascinates me. I've always (since childhood) been fascinated by telepathy and precognition and all the clumsily disguised darkest layers of the human psyche. I want to study psychic phenomena more intensely and bring it into my writing, somehow.<BR>

E-mail me next time you're coming this way. We can try the "White Trash Cafe" haha or "Snow White's" maybe the Loveless Did you mean The Wild Horse? There's a nice place called the "Bluebird Cafe" for writers...everyone writes in this town. Once upon a time I was a Nashville tour guide. That was a trip in itself..ha<BR>

Zero Love~~ Thanks, I am posting around electrical storms hitting each day .. :). It is a wonder I got those up that you liked. Amazed I didn't make more typos. I've gone to read more of your work recently. It reminds me of someone I used to know who wrote honest poems and notes in the margins of our textbooks at school. I believe he became famous. Thanks for bringing back those memories.<BR>

BK~~I just checked your account. WOW! I'm gonna take a vacation and read your work. Just the titles are a real hoot! There is no catching up here and writing at the same time. <BR>

I came to the Blender in 1997, when it was possible to read everything written here and know something about everyone who posted. Incredible, the volume of work and the number of poets here now! ..... Rennie
