Yeah, I don't know that it's romance-related, but that's how I feel these days. Once the shock and pain wears off, an incredible sense of freedom begins to emerge. This too may just be temporary, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts. Everyone's warned me about the whole "rebound" thing, and to avoid it all costs, but I honestly don't see the alternative. Sit around and look at old pictures? Wait for someone to come back who never will? Ah, that's simplifying too much, I guess, but it's just too irresistable to start actually living again. Seems to me like the best therapy there is.

I think joni perfectly encapsulates what love in a song is!  Though she choose life and solitude over graham nash....<BR>
<BR>
my favorite song of hers is " a case of you " <BR>
<BR>
think i'll post it! <BR>

Kaylee~ thank you for the compliment. I'll continue to read you as you post. I tend to agree with the majority of comments on the subs this month. Actually, I am often in agreement, and that's why I enjoy coming back to this creative community. Always good to come back and read here ..... Rennie

<BR>
This is my first post on this site, so forgive me if I do something eh hem stupid.<BR>
<BR>
This poem, "Talking" by in vino took me there. With the dialogue giving not only the tone of the poem, but the rich description as well. The fresh pickle part-- not to be mailed of course, was a fresh look at a source of pride in the culture in vino was describing.<BR>
<BR>
"In vino veritas." yes.<BR>
<BR>
Much enjoyed, thank you<BR>

FYI<BR>
<BR>
 In Willowdale, Oregon, no man may curse while having sex with his<BR>
wife. In Ames, Iowa a husband may not take more than three gulps of beer<BR>
while lying in bed with his wife. A law in Alexandria, Minnesota makes it<BR>
illegal for a husband to make love to his wife if his breath smells like<BR>
garlic, onions, or sardines.<BR>
        Hotels in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, are required by law to furnish<BR>
their rooms with twin beds only. There should be a minimum of two feet<BR>
between the beds, and it is illegal for a couple to make love on the floor<BR>
between the beds. The only legal sexual position in Washington D.C. is the<BR>
missionary-style position while in Nevada, sex without a condom is<BR>
considered illegal. <BR>
        A law in Oblong, Illinois makes it a crime to make love while<BR>
fishing or hunting on your wedding day. A law in Fairbanks, Alaska, does<BR>
not allow moose to have sex on city streets; and in Kingsville, Texas,<BR>
there is a law against two pigs having sex at the city airport. <BR>
        In Ventura County, California, cats and dogs are not allowed to<BR>
have sex without a permit.<BR>

Thanks, Anna. That username is actually me. I don't really know why I created it - maybe because I didn't want to hurt my ex-wife (Misti) with poems about other people. But she's sharp as a tack and promptly figured it out anyway. The divorce papers are filed and will be finalized in less than a week. We have no reason to see one another again. We did finish this afternoon on terms that I can live with, though. She knows I will always love her - and that is enough for me.
