On organising poems - I keep 'em here... so I don't worry about organising them - automatically by date, which I like. It's like a timeline on my life. When I look back, I remember where my head was at, what was going on. And as I said before, when I look back at them (because they are date sequenced) it's like they take on a life of their own.
coujeaux - Down and In - you write a poem including dancing and this whole place rumbles and shakes.
willtobe1 - Dream, reissued - is very smooth and eloquent (I was going to say nice, but I thought, nah, I can't do that. I shouldn't do that to anyone).
lulu - 10 Things I Hate About You - sweet.
tj - I know you write very good poetry, but sometimes it's just over my head. I take what I can from it. Still, I liked the latest submissions.
This is a note to Kase:
I don't come here very often, and I only write occasionally.
I read today that you were not going to write here anymore and that you felt you lacked talent in writing.
This peaked my curiosity; and so I went to your name and read all the entries that you wrote.
I was impressed with your writing; and felt that you certainly had a special way with words.
Just wanted you to know.
:-)
Aparajita: I haven't seen any new works by you, I am eagerly awaiting your next poem. And, by the way, I looked up your name and I really like the connotation of it.
Ladyinwaiting: Keep those poems coming, they definately add to the true poetry of the site
Star of David~

"swept away"..amazing...took my breath away....wow.
Willtobel,
Thank you very much... Saw the comment in the morning and I’m sure a lovely day is ahead! :)
dana... oh my gosh, losing sanity... i FELT this as i was reading it
star of david... i am rapidly becoming your number one fan. the demons of desire left me breathless & tingly all over, fantasies abound with "scream into my mouth". thank you for the dream.
jon... swept away hit a nerve in me. during a particularly bleak time in my life 8 yrs ago i likened my experience to drowning. i felt as if i had been taken out to the very deepest part of the ocean and thrown out with my hands tied behind my back and my feet tied together. no way to survive. your words made me remember and realize, i did not succumb to the murky depths, i needed to be reminded of that. even tho i probably still won't watch movies with drowning scenes, i have made tremendous progress. thanks.
Jon,
Swept Away – I think you read my mind and put into words thoughts that I could not exactly understand but are just the way I often feel. Can I print it out and put it up on the wall?
Dana – Losing Sanity – it happens to everyone, keep the faith and hold on. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Sending some strength and smiles your way, hope you get them soon.
Lovestruk – If I Leave Tomorrow – beautiful...
TJ – you know, my grandfather’s room was stacked with books too. Thousands of them, they were all over our house, even in the kitchen…. And they could never be only on shelves either! And the last line is so true for me too. Thank you for reminding me...
Aparajita,
Just saw your comment. Thank you so much for making me smile. Glad you liked it. Thanks...

A Shirt for the Lady - wow!
Lulu: Cuts was fabulous! Thanks for sharing with us
Malu Lani-
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it *bashful grin*
~*Lulu*~
Lulu,
Cuts - if this is true, you have to stop. It won't just stop, you will keep doing it because there is a kind of high to it. But it never ends unless you have superb self control.
I never thought I would write or talk about this, but I'm telling you because I am wondering if you're writing about your real life. If so, talk to someone. When you keep cutting yourself, that pain becomes pleasure in a way. You get a kick out of watching the blood.
Do something, please talk to someone if you care about yuorself. Sometimes, no matter how strong and independent we are, there are some things we cant deal with on our own. God bless you and take care. I know this advice is not asked for and maybe I am overstepping but I would rather do that than keep wondering.
Star of David,
I read The demons of desire after I wrote shirts. Our demons are different, but our ways of dealing with them are quite alike Thanks for the comment.
There is so much awesome stuff showing up in the past few days, I can't believe the talent here. rennie, coujeaux, lilla, and of course ladyinwaiting, you inspire my muse.
Chances and bk, you tug at me, and dana, life is never mundane, even when cleaning up after young ones.
aparajita, your name is unknown to my Mexican Spanish, but your soul flows to the page like lava, unrelenting and hot.
Thanks for having me here. I will not leave unless I feel no romance in my heart.
Jim
Lulu~ I'm flattered to know that something I have written can take your breath away or spark some interest within you to comment.
aparajita~ I guess sometimes we all just feel like we're set adrift in life. Floating away to an unknown desitination. I'm glad you found your footing.
Star of David~ It would be an honor to be able to grace your wall with something I have written. Of course you can print out my poem and post it on your wall. I'm not here to sell myself only to share, I'm honored to know that I could find a way to express something you have felt. Espcially since you have such a beautiful way with words.
Once again thanks to the three of you. Your comments have made my day. :-).
Take care
-Jon
Malu Lani ~ thank you for your sweet comment...I feel as though I know you...from this life or of the past...I love your submissions...keep up the good work...thank you for sharing
