Thank you ladyinwaiting.  I do not think of myself as much of a poet--prose is my stock in trade.  My current situation is hypoteneuse in a  scalene love triangle.  Funny how poetry can give wings to even a worn-down soul.<BR>
<BR>
I'll be back.

BK, "High~Lights" is VERY nice. On the whole I have major respect for your work; politics should not get in the way of what I hope to be a mutual regard. No hard feelings?

whoa! I take a nap and come back to find I'm not in Kansas anymore (my poor little dog!).<BR>
<BR>
empy~ Thanks for the comment. I admire your recent posts. I even go back to read some older ones from you because I like your view<BR>
<BR>
B.K. and Trout~ I love to see your passion. Maybe others should be aware that it is passion for feelings and not real animosity totally. Too easily online to just ignore someone we really dislike. Trout, you endeared yourself to me with a few posts. One like: <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2003.02.05.13.59.18136">If Not For You</a> ... I also admire B.K.'s constant and real devotion. I believe we would all like a better world without true heartache. Finding "perfection" in verse or world is the quest that keeps us from numbness and boredom. Take care, dear fishiness .....

that was a sane discourse indeed, Rennie...<BR>
<BR>
I'm afraid I am becoming militantly cynical where ALL politics/politicians are concerned.  It's too bad that no one represents the disconnected or the disaffected.  Nothing in politics has a thing to do with love.  And it never did.<BR>

Exactly. Well put, Kev and Rennie. We Blenderites should be more like those two opposing lawyers who argue a case passionately in court and then meet for drinks afterward. Civility must return to rational discourse. After all, what we're really here for is literature - not geopolitics. Clean & sober, this becomes quite apparent to me. All apologies, mis amigos....

Hehe, Pam, I've been offline for 4 days as we've just moved into our new house and we still don't have the phone/internet hooked up. I'm thrilled it arrived ok and that you seem happy with it.<BR>
<BR>
Email me if you want tips for framing/matting it.<BR>
<BR>
Take care,<BR>
