dee - I spent some time pondering why you'd made her fat. Till I worked it out (or at least I think I have). LOL. I liked it.

I did like your work dee - it's just usually you're so open with the body etc. and this time the line that I understood to be her body went out - so I finally thought to myself - Oh! she's pregnant. But maybe it all meant nothing, after all, I'm no art critic. I liked it, for what that means.

RennieLorca, ladyinwaiting, Aparajita, Chances, Empyrean, and, of course, to Ali, O! Ali~<BR>
<BR>
Thank you all for your kind words and support.  I still feel at right angles to poetry by most of it names, but you are all clearly my brethren in word-love and love-love.  <BR>
<BR>
Failing any new inspiration, I plan to blow the dust off some old words and works and send them up the flagpole here, for what its worth.  <BR>
<BR>
And, of course, I'll wander when I can in the lovely forests of the words and works found here.  <BR>
<BR>
(Chances~ thanks for breaking at the brink of appellating me with "nice" praise -- I had a communications professor once who sourced the word to "nici" which, in a dead language, meant "not aware."  Not far off from the bland meaning it retains today, eh?  I know you had a positive meaning at heart.  Yet does this not in fact well-befit much that we begin with wide-open mind to numbly swallow?)<BR>
<BR>
Deliver me always from nicety!<BR>

Rennie ~ thank you for your statement...how I wish I could go back and change it all...the mistakes we make along the way leave us empty sometimes...made the grave error of seeing an old flame, just to talk nothing more...however left doubt in the mind of the one I really cared for...the meeting with the old one was to find closure in order to move on...and when the other ask if I had seen them...I was honest but was never given the chance to completely explain...I guess sometimes honesty is not the right answer...or so I am lead to believe that...so, thus The Name I Whisper is and end....
