  • a hearty welcome back...

  • Wow!  I haven't really been visiting other Xanga sites in a long while, but I remember your site and I figured I'd see what you were writing now a days.  I must say I am absolutely impressed by the last few poems you've put up.  I don't remember your writing being so free form and experimental, but it's definitely top-notch material!  It definitely exudes a sense of mastery.  

    Happy, belated

    Just rhyming for no reason and then dropping it, that's awesome!

    WONDERING or WANDERING
    Without any of my
    'ME' clues

    What a great way to manipulate the rhythm!  That's really skillful!

    To you, or you, or you
    from the non-comMEnt of silence...
    aMann...  
    controlls my mortal soul
    fromalongdistanceruffledtimeofmylife

    And this is just an amazing cluster of ideas!  It's the kind of stuff that would make other poets sit down and think about how much they suck!

    I'd say a lot more but, I don't want to write a novel here!  This stuff is really inspirational!

  • I'm honoured. Is your life happier now? You did seem down thaks to a certain person, is that all over?

  • The structure, the captitalization at some parts, the words and meaning. All come together. It's amazing, it's beautiful. I haven't tried reading in-depth to it yet but the glance and skim through already left an impression on my mind. The flow of emotions, and use of words. I missed coming here ^_^.

  • love to explore some of those "redundant wedoneits" over some dunkin' donuts ... you seem very happy to be miserable again .. just like old times, eh? your writing lacks the old fire, but makes up with some marvelous insight into the roles we play in life. you seem to be tired of playing the maytag repairman or something. I'll figure you out yet

  • Bodiddly is a little slow on the uptake isn't he? It's obvious that you fell out of your TREE and have sucessfully climbed back up it. But fall is here and the leaves will be fallin' and when the TREE"S asleep I may come a-callin'.

  • WOW! This is masterful! Your skill with words is amazing, and I'm so glad to see you posting again.
    I do hope all is going well for you.

    Peace.

  • No need to apologize. As long as you're happy, go for it girl! I am just glad that I got to meet you and spend some time with you. Men require a lot of attention...lol and one day soon I'll have one to get mine. There are benefits...lol! Just be happy Dottie and know that I love you and wish you all the love that you need and then some.

  • I miss your posts, hope you're well, and am glad to see you are still ruffling your leaves...

  • Good to see you..

    I am totally ..totally in touch with this..

    OH MY...it just hit the preverbial NAIL on the 'head'

    You can ruffle the leaves anytime SISTEH!

    *HUGS*

    Sheri ..Blessings

  • Reading this again, and I must say this is most exquisite. I wish xanga had a five prop rating system.

    Peace.

  • ooooh Dottie...I needed to read this...I never knew u posted for i was caught up in me...sometime we do this...
    I shall never forget laughing with you...sharing with you nor shall I ever forget just meeting you....It remains a most pleasurable memory!
    Bless you
    Dorothea
    @ Dorothy
    PS...She still asks about you Dottie

  • Please come back and intrigue us with your posts. We miss you!!! 

  • Because of the challenge for the month which is mine alone I am going thru the membership and here I am at your door.  I did not see this post when it came in and my only excuse is trying to do too much.  I will say you are missed, a lot.  I do hope you are happy and doing well and making improvements in your life where you want it improved to the betterment of both of your lives.  I understand your reasoning well.  No one wants to be alone and no one wants to be without someone they feel they truly love and who has been a part of their life for so long.  I give you credit for trying to pull it together and am sure you will as I know you are a strong woman.  God bless and take care and remember you are missed and are always welcome back as you can see from all of the above comments one of which I am very jealous of.  Ouchieman, such a good writer and he is impressed with your work as am I, always.  You know I love it, don't you?  Take care lady, we all love you, miss you and wish you well.  While I am here, I will ask permission to use a poem from your site on the challenge page but I have not looked thru them as yet.  I will only say I would like permission to use something.

    Regards,
