Thanks for the kind words.  I can't say it's easy, but sometimes the first two lines I write dictate the need for limerick.  I do like the way they flow with their own rhytm, and sometimes the first five lines just don't tell the story.  Every once in a while they just come 5 lines at a time and I can't type them fast enough.  Glad you liked it.<BR>

ladyinwaiting~ thanks for that .. am better today ... enough to really laugh at the subs from the good sports playing off words here ... better than misery and crying any day, no? Been lots of laughs this month already with you, Jim, Pam and Chances. I'm behind reading once again, but life intrusions here are good ones for me.<BR>

Good to know you gain laughter from us...laughter is another type of good medicine!  I took some good advice from Coujeaux about my writing, and I am having as much fun with it as I think he does...Hope there is nothing but blue skies where ever you are now...<BR>

CryingShame~ blue sky is nice, but even a cloudy day is a good excuse for lighting a romantic candle. It is good to write about real feelings. Always fun to explore thoughts and feelings writing as a character writing about characters. You don't feel you force yourself into following some real path that way that might be detrimental in outcome ..... Rennie

Ladyinwaiting--Thnaks you so much for you concern, thoughts, and prayers.  The procedure I had done was a total failure.  I got about 3 months before I have to have a kidney removed or a transplant from my broth, who match me and is willing. thank God.  Now if I can get over the guilt.....<BR>
<BR>
CryingShame--Thanks for the compliment, it means more than you know!!!!<BR>
<BR>
Rennie-- If and when you get time, give me an honest opinion about my latest.  I highly respect your opinion.  The only thing I ask is for you to be blunt and honest, even if it's brutally so.  Thanks and I hope you feel better.<BR>
<BR>
May God hold you all in the palm of His hand until we meet again!!!<BR>

P.s.  Thanks again for all the praise for Cry Alone.   <BR>
