But now...wow. It's addictive!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Bice!<BR/><BR/>Deb, it's almost freaky, isn't it! But in a good way. :-)<BR/><BR/>Samantha, I know what you mean about the "rating" of your poems and wondering what to post and what not to. I'm enjoying the ones you've posted so far!<BR/><BR/>I agree completely, Tiff!<BR/><BR/>R, yay!! I was hoping people would get that Schroeder's song was what I was humming there!! :-D<BR/><BR/>Gypsy, I must confess that the organization of my book shelves is one of those areas in which I am frighteningly anal. You could write in the dust around this place, but by gawd I can tell you exactly where to find a particular book! :-)<BR/><BR/>Shirley, until quite recently that's all I did too! It's never too late to try more! (Well, ok, unless someone is dead. Then it's probably too late. Unless it turns out that reincarnation and/or heaven is real [which I think they are, both of them], then...STILL never too late! HA!)<BR/><BR/>To all: Use of double parenthesis by a trained professional in a closed comment box. Please do not try this at home.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Liz! That's a maze of wild grapevines winding around those trees. They make the most amazing shapes!<BR/><BR/>Do you still write it sometimes, Elle? I hope so! You're so creative!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Darlene. The one that still has the leaves on it is a small oak tree. It's amazing how late into winter the dried leaves will hang on an oak!<BR/><BR/>PwaDJ...LOL! Love it!<BR/><BR/>Yay, Vesper, I hope you do!!<BR/><BR/>Exactly, Jan!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Jen. :::beam:::<BR/><BR/>Oh, Regina, if you do I hope you post it!<BR/><BR/>No, MB, although I would love to know how to fly. I looked into taking lessons years ago, but decided it wasn't a hobby I could afford.<BR/><BR/>I hope you like the poem, Holli! I can close my eyes and picture climbing the "delirious burning blue."<BR/><BR/>I loved your meme answers, Michelle!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, TS! The city has such wonderful things, but I must confess I'm glad I don't actually live in one. I'm content to visit them now and then.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, G. Yeah, I know MemeLove is considered a sort of perversion in Blogsylvania, but there it is. We all have our quirks. :-D<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Darlene! :-)<BR/><BR/>The Snoopy dance was WAY fun, Liz! You should try it too! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Bee, I haven't read those in years and years. I should do what you did and look for them in the library!<BR/><BR/>I LIKE that idea ren.kat!Deb Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03322863748665701618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10812805.post-1165597964392531062006-12-08T12:19:00.000-05:002006-12-08T12:19:00.000-05:00I am also joining the snoopy dance.

Poetry is using words to translate that mental image in my mind to your mind (hopefully). <BR/><BR/>I've started posting some of my little poems. I have to think about the longer ones because they are pretty personal and their images range from PG-13 to NC-17. Not sure yet how Mom would take them:)Samanthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09438997235793492351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10812805.post-1165494003953430722006-12-07T07:20:00.000-05:002006-12-07T07:20:00.000-05:00Hey girl, <BR/>I could <B>so</B> hang out with you too!! Imagine my surprise when I opened your site this morning and saw that we had the SAME answer to the first question!!
