Hi all.  As I said a few weeks ago, I haven't been writing much "love" stuff lately.  Actually, for two weeks I haven't written much of anything.  I've had the worst case of writer's block in my LIFE.  <BR>
<BR>
Anywho, I finished a story this morning.  I'm experimenting with voice and point of view.  It's not very long, and I'd appreciate feedback.  <BR>
<BR>
The story is called "Perspectives" and is posted on my blog at <a href="http://blog.myspace.com/superedna">http://blog.myspace.com/superedna</a> <BR>
<BR>
Please feel free to check it out.  <BR>
<BR>
Thanks!

aparajita, Thank you for the kinds words and hug. This piece is actually a metaphor for a relationship that suddenly and unexpectedly ended. The ironic part is, she is the one who introduced me to this website. And, thanks to everyone by sharing their experiences and feelings, I will hopefully move from this cold darkness back into the warmth of the sunlight. On a personal note, I did just lose a very close relative in much that same way. It's odd how similar and still very different these two events are to each other. Although I've never met any of you, I feel close enough to share with you things I can tell no one else. Thanks again to all.<BR>

B.K., about <a href="/blend/wv.cgi?id=2006.05.09.22.31.2495">Nights of Fire</a>:<BR>
<BR>
Cool! Belinda and I just saw Benise here in Albuquerque at the Kiva Auditorium! (Show was "Nights of Fire" - same as the one on PBS). Believe me, I was prepared to hate it. I mean, c'mon, the guy looks a bit like Fabio with a guitar. But we both really enjoyed it - loved it, actually. A very romantic evening... Anyway, your poem really captures the show's essence, I think.

Chris; It was on my public television for one of those telethons for money. I enjoyed it too, the dancing and the music was very sensual. I thought it was a bit too Vegas at times but if it makes money to keep Big Bird afloat I'm all for it. The guy and his band are awesome musicians and I would probably pay to see them here as well. I may buy the cd for myself for Mothers Day. I love the Spanish Gypsy music style with guitar and violin. Glad you and Belinda liked the poem. <BR>
