Thank you, Rennie and everyone who has commented on my last couple of works.  I've been kind of preoccupied lately and haven't commented like I should, but I have been reading, and so many works have struck a chord with me.

Jack~~ well, I can leave off TV this winter since you have given me some new daydreams of my own from the B&B -- enjoyed! I've got some pieces I will rework in the months to come. You've always keep me inspired and motivated. Except for that one time you almost caused me a stroke when you started posting "leather" in that general chatroom. I figured you would single-handedly get us closed down! On that one, what a twist! OH, Hint: watch me wreck a word or punctuation (et cetera) in a piece to force myself to rework a piece. Getting the idea rolling is the hardest part for me. So many new works get started with me by going back to rework an old piece and I get sidetracked with a new one. Thanks, my friend.<BR>
<BR>
Jon~~ I really like your WORDS ... so I hope to read even more of them.<BR>
<BR>
Kevin~~ There ya go!! I enjoyed your posts! Now, where are the crits? I left myself wide open the whole time. You know I don't mind IF you really want to do some crits here on me, Kevin :) ... I'll only hurl crayolas back at ya, not grenades. NO, actually I enjoy the interaction as always. What I post in Blender's kind community are always works in progress or regress. Good to see you again, Kev.<BR>
<BR>
Stephen~~ I am also an artist (very active in all the creative arts), so the visuals are ever important to me. Your Apple was a real treat. I want to show that to others. I've always enjoyed asking a poet or any other creative person what their favorite work happens to be ... so I am glad I asked you. LOST SOULMATE had always stuck with me the most in my posts. It came from tragic reality and trying to cope. No punctuation, just as my life was made incomplete then. FOUND SOULMATE has meaning deeper than I have yet to be able to find enough words to express. But each verse I share has a few important words or a deeper meaning for me. It is a treat to find someone expressing similar feelings. Thanks for sharing. I got more inspiration. So many here have done that for me. Thanks! ..... Rennie

Even tho I don't know you, and it's a BIT late, Happy birthday scqueen!<BR>

To Jon, TJ, and Galadrial: Just wanted to say, you three have this nack for making me cry, when I read your work. It's not something I usually do... cry over poems. But you three do it. You're amazing, really truly amazing.<BR>
<BR>
Sorry for disappearing after I said I'd stick around... ah, work... blah.  I'd appreciate any CONSTRUCTIVE critisism on my TWO meesly poems, lol, so anybody feel free.<BR>

hcat~~ I like your honesty,the straight-forwardness in these postings. I once wrote something similar to my husband. He surprised me in adding a © and signing his name to the bottom of what I wrote. I had mistakenly looked at us as light and dark at that point. We got feng shui in the house and hearts later. I hope to see more of your postings. I like these. You make me care to see where this leads ..... Rennie

musicalduck~~ nighttime is beautiful. I have always been fascinated with larks and owls ... the owl who doesn't devour the lark, and the lark who trusts the owl. I enjoyed your images MUCH better of these two types of day/night personalities. I'll watch for more of your posts ..... Rennie

Dear jack~~ some men are considered "trainable" by women ... thank goodness, not you! You work the edge on erotic, trample it, were born a hundred years (or hundreds of years) too late. Fun, an erotic trip, or new visions to see what you write. You are a scoundrel, a white knight, and a pup (maybe a seadog) to be fed. I have always enjoyed watching where you go with your poetry. And no matter how you sneak in at times, jus know when it is you ... :) ... thanks, I am always reading u an enjoying yer work ;-) ..... Rennie

ah my lady hmmm well to let a few secrets go umm my favorite type of writing is fiction<BR>
i have enough of reality in day to day so when i read i like the non to relax to, and as for poetry well the most i ever read in my life has come off of this site, the horible reality of the matter is, is that when i write my thoughts they all seem to fall out this way and as such many mistake them for poetry lol i really dont know what to call it my self but i think i am stuck with it and i am damn awful happy some find enjoyment with what i write lol saves me a trip to one of dem head doctors i think lol kinda actualy think that would be fun to see if i would come out with the doc's reality er if he would lol be stuck with mine lol ah well...<BR>

jack~~ you'd pleasantly confuddle dem docs :). You would like Carver. He penned his poetry thoughts just as you do. My very fav poem of his is LATE FRAGMENT, and written in a form you would like.

kevin~thanks, yeah I guess you're right. As futile as it may seem at times we'll always be in search of them. Well, I don't consider myself a poet...just someone who writes poetry. :-X :-)<BR>
<BR>
Rennie~Thank you. I respect your work and I wanted to thank you for spicing up the board. There would be quite a void to fill if you left.<BR>
<BR>
Hcat~Wow, thank you. I'm extremley flattered to be in the same sentence as two of my favorite poets TJ and Gala. Thanks. :-)<BR>

Take care and all that more-than-words stuff.<BR>
