Please excuse my latest submission. It's not about "romantic" love but about a love that will exist in me after all other passes.<BR>
I am so very homesick tonight.  I miss my small little town with all of its idiosyncrasies.<BR>
<BR>
I suppose I will always be that little Southern girl.  <BR>
<BR>
Hope you all had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!  I have thoroughly enjoyed this month's blender and most of what I've read on the new submissions.<BR>
<BR>
Looking forward to the new year,<BR>

     "Home" is hauntingly beautiful.  I'm from the south, and you sent chills down my back with this one. Your descriptions describe what summers were like as a child, and I hope I can raise my little one in the same sweet simplicity.  Amazing.  <BR>

Oh, by the way to war protesters...<BR>
<BR>
You think Iraq is a bad deal?  Just wait'll we get busy in North Korea.  Get ready for some BIG New Year's fireworks...<BR>
<BR>
PEACE is not the absence of war.  War is a fundamental aspect OF peace.  WHO you support in the matter is the issue.  The United States has ALWAYS been the peacekeeper of the Earth.  Always will be.  Amen.<BR>
<BR>
God Bless America and Our President.  And the rest of ya...<BR>

Sushi, Someone's gotta say it. Now I'm really gonna piss some people off.  Like my Mama says " If you can't take the heat, stay the hell outta the kitchen"  Same goes for our country, Ya don't like us, goes away!!!  What's beautiful about us, though, is we're FREE, and we're free to disagree, love, hate, and be any kind of person you want to be, just all we're all free to write on this site, even if we suck at poetry(me), or we're great.  Yall have fun bashing my opinion now, because this  is America and you can!!!!
