TJ, Chances,
Thank you so very much for the comments on 'Our Fool’s Paradise.' I am going through a very dark period and sometimes the littlest things keep me holding on.
Jon,
Glad you liked 'Die Another Day.' It was just me rambling on and on. Thanks.
Cyan - Five Minutes – really nice. Love the line “as if to seize you in and inhale you unbroken.”
Kevin Urenda – Icons is lovely.
In Our Dreams – beautiful………………. And Reverie is so beautiful too. I am left here stunned and shaking my head in wonder and thinking about how amazing your poems are.
“thoughts of you
take the breath away
from my nights”
“left alone to
twist among the
thoughts of you”
Oh man...
Let me shut up before I go on and on like an idiot because your words have me in a daze.
B.K, Star of David, Ladyinwaiting, Rennielorca ~ Thanks to all of you for your comments and appreciation ~ Akash.
Let me add my voice to those welcoming Tony to this place. He IS THE poetdude.
And Star of David?
thank you for your kindness. I'm still amazed at the ability of words to touch people... that is why I continue to write.
Kev~
I love all your latest pieces (there are too many to mention them all by name!). *smile* Keep up the amazing work, my friend...:)
TONY!!!!!
Yay! I'm so happy to see you here! *happy dance* *smile* Welcome to the Blender...:)
Love and soft resilience, Ali
I just want to say "hello" to everyone out there. I'm new to this sight and might consider adding alot more to my name. So if someone wants to drop me a line ...feel free. later
B.K.
Goose Feather Corgi Winter Walk was so picturesque! One of my best friends has three corgi's...all are family loved, but one is a show dog, the other is a therapy dog that visits nursing homes and the last one is a pet...I am assuming you have a couple of corgi? I have a german shepard puppy...

Kevin,
reverie, touching...so sad..

Sushi~(clarification)...Jesus was a Fisher of Men...not a fish!!! if you will recall the only time Jesus lost His temper was in the Temple over politics!!!!!! Just a little trivia should you decide to play a real game...very sad that someone with such talent wishes to waste the talents on nonsense...pick a battle that is worth fighting and be a leader that sets an example of good...not crap! You are aware that attention is sought and gained...even if negative. Do you find pride in what you do? Your launguage is very offensive!
Rennie~Celestial Jewelry...awesome piece...thank you for sharing
Kev~in our dreams...beautiful touching work...thank you for sharing
Chances~thoughts...as usual wonderfully written...thank you for sharing
Noni~Right next to me...yes love those moments...thank you for bringing them to life...keep up the good work...thank you for sharing
Jilly24ski~welcome aboard...Tonight and forever...touching work...keep up the good work...hope to see more of you writtings...thank you for sharing
Speaking of trivia, what's with the fish comments directed toward Sushi?
The literal translation for sushi is "with rice." It has nothing to do with fish. Sashimi is raw fish.
Better to refer to Sushi as a simple carb!
Just Some Girl~thank you for the clarification....and yes...sushi...simple crap...thank you for your response
Jesus rose from the dead. I haven't done that - yet.
Damn, she's good.
Just Some Girl, that is!
Danke!
TJ,
If you liked the Seat of the Soul you will like Soul stories by Gary Zuvac as well...
CryingShame
exerpt from "The Seat of the Soul"
Thanks TJ! I LOVE Gary Zukav!
Good evening folks....just dropped in to try and get a little reading done and I am very glad I did. The diversity of voice and quality of work was well worth the time. A big bravo to those who delighted my poetic senses.....
always wearing red by laurel ahlfeld
just a memory by ali
chocolate by chances
in our dreams by kevin urenda
saline by coujeaux
It was a pleasure to read them all.....Tony
Chances; Yes two Pembroke Corgis and they are too smart for their own good. I had three Huskeys as well. Something about those blue eyes. You have your hands full if you have a shepherd pup. Puppies need constant training. Thanks for the comment. I really liked your Chocolate. It made me smile. My favorite is dark semi-sweet chocolate.
Kev all your poetry lately is amazing and I promise I will comment more often if you will only write more for us.

ladyinwaiting~ your "Pieces" is so sad. Here's to you in the hope someone can transplant a romance-filled heart again. Thanks on the comment on Celestial Jewelry.
B.K.~ Hope you are feeling better. I feel like I have a bowling ball slamming around in my sinuses with these snow storms. Your poems to your fella always make me smile. I could use a Sunday morning brunch buffet at Loveless when the weather gets better.
CryingShame~ On the little things: as long as we were together, my husband kept a flwer or flowers in a vase for me. It seemed a small token over the years, but one really missed now. Thanks, "positive attitude" seems to be what keeps me going now.
Cojeaux~ © is extremely important to me and those partiuclar friends. I provided contact info on you should they care to contact you to request permission to use that piece. Thanks.
Kirk~ as you get older and further into a love relationship, you will find you equally cherish the most tiny bits of shared attention. After chemistry comes history with lovers. BTW, Doc is a very much loved friend I keep forwarding your ki'd website.
Gala~ I've worked in a nurturing environment for creative folks for a great many years. It is hard to see the squabbling here until around it enouugh to figure whether it is all in good fun or real barbs. I've enjoyed seeing your nurturing site on Respite. Thanks so much for sending Tony Spivey to Blender.
Tony Spivey~ Welcome to Blender, I will loan you an e-tool and some K, C and MRE's if you care to dig in here. I've enjoyed reading your work at Gala's Respite. I hope you and Gala have notified VVHP, Sgt. Grit, theFew and other USMC brothers about your book. If you will post a direct link to the book, I will be glad to forward it to my guys on database. Semper Fi, Sgt. McGilla aka Rennie Lorca
Noni and the_poet~ Let me add my Wecome to you at Blender. I look forward to reading your accounts.
Chances~ Thanks on the Celestial Jewelry comment. My life is often so complex and complicated that I enjoy the K.I.S.S. mode here. I am enjoying keeping up with your posts.
Sushi~ Some folks only see the compost pile's manure, and some choose to see the nutrients. I know these soldiers as real people and body counts. I know the long drawn out consequences and pains of actual combat. Marines are often called "Warriors," but most like the peacekeeper role instead. How about posting more of poet Anna or her buddy Pasternak?
Ali~ Just A Memory~ I can relate. Thanks for putting this into words. Bluesgirl~ Same comment for your "different" piece. His Little Fullback~ another ditto on the same comment on your "Here" ..... Rennie (again trying to catch up here)
Laurel~ hauntingly beautiful work: always wearing red ..... Rennie
http://www.iriswhite.com/books/ts1/book.htm
Rennie Lorca, I adore you.
This is the link for Tony's book, direct to Iriswhite...so I will just beat Mr. Spivey to the punch. Spread the word dear heart...and Semper Fi to all the good gentlemen, from Gala...
And Kev...you took my breath away with reverie...no give it back.
~*~Rennie~*~ Thank you...I appreciate your kind words mainly because I have been thoroughly enjoying your works as well.
love always,
Laurel
Rennie...an old "gunner" thanks you kindly for the welcome. I see that Gala gave the link to one of the places you can find the book....she's quick. Here is the link to my web site http://home.coastalnet.com/~rebcav/ in case you want to read a few more samples from the book. Semper Fi, Tony
Rennie>
Good to hear. That being the case, quote at will-I'm honored.
Blessings.
Yeah, yeah I know...I like everything the man writes...
but this one To Me is the reason I call Poetdude "Elvis" at my site, the Respite...
Tonyspivey – To Me – beautiful.
Ali - Just A Memory – this one speaks to me.
I love this part;
“I don't like seeing ghosts,
But I see them sometimes,
Haunting me from the eyes
Of a passer-by--I haven't felt safe
For a long time, now. I won't
Trust anyone who wears your smile”
You have described so well how I feel about someone who has been haunting me like this for years now. But unlike me, you have succeeded in putting the feelings into beautiful words. Thank you.
Hey Jon,
My Own - nice...
