Misti ~<BR>
<BR>
Weren't you recently bemoaning the state of your work?  Gawd, but yer on a roll...<BR>
<BR>
I loved the last two.  I know, at least broadly and figuratively, the small-town minds in your blog.   Somehow I really related to the airport story...<BR>
<BR>
And, damn!, you got in a reference to Patti Smith!  Never though I'd see that on a love-poetry related web site in a poem largely related to bras!<BR>
<BR>
There's a lot of random and rant in your work these days but thats GOOD!  I wish my random, confused and occasionally dark thoughts would gel into something so very readable.<BR>
<BR>
Carry on!<BR>
<BR>

Misti ~ I second what tc says. And you may not have inspired any songs or commercials but you sure as hell inspire me.<BR>

ChancesAre ~ I enjoyed reading "The Dream". I especially liked the line that read, <BR>
<BR>
"I looked in the mirror <BR>
One eye looked like it had cried<BR>
All night"<BR>
<BR>
It caught me up and got my attention. Good job!<BR>

Teej - Thanks for your encouragement. I enjoy your writing and The Skeleton Woman, from your past submissions, is one of the most incredible and sensitive myths I have ever read.<BR>
