Well, I'm not the sharpest tool in the drawer...
But I finally figured out something...

I can write on demand!

And then I can edit it into halfway decent shape!

Who knew?


It makes me smile...

3. Good deal
When I was writing a lot of stories and posting them here someone suggested that I should start a blog. I've been thinking about doing that lately. Maybe we can both do that. You'll have to explain to me how it works, though. :)

5. My dear Droopy!
Thank you!

I have no idea about blogs...

I know a lot of folks have them...

And hardly anyone looks at them...

Even my good friend KitchenWitch has one...and I hardly ever remember to look at it...:blush:

I just keep my writing in my Word program...

And that works for me...

If you do have one, I'll try to look at it...

:hi:

6. My dear GoddessOfGuinness...
Oh my dear girl...

You made me cry...but not from sorrow, but from being touched so deeply...

Thank you, sweetie...

It means so damn much...:hug:

8. My dear Robeson!
Hey, stranger!

Where have you been? It's great to see you tonight, sweetie!

I'm taking a poetry class, and that is the reason for this silly thread!

If you want to see any of my stuff, check out my Journal...

I've posted quite a lot of it...

I am well, very busy, and hope the same for you! :pals:

10. Helluva lot sharper than I
I write after thinking about it. Editing?

:wtf: is that!

Seriously, I envy y'all who can put thoughts
into words on the fly. Nature didn't provide
me with that gift. I'm MOST thankful for those
She DID give me, though!

:evilgrin:

11. My dear liberaltrucker!
I was actually talking about when I write poems!

Should have made that clearer in my op...

And you do wonderfully with your gift of the gab, silly!

And I'm sure your other gifts are great too! :evilgrin:

Nice to see you tonight!

:hug:

12. Poetry IS putting thoughts to words on the fly
Edited on Mon Nov-05-07 01:05 AM by liberaltrucker
Lennon didn't compose "Imagine" after thinking about it.

The words just came to him. That's why the song is so touching.

13. I TOLD you.
But you doubted me.

That's okay- as long as you don't doubt YOURSELF.

14. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six...
And you did tell me, didn't you?

Well, now I believe you...

And I also believe in myself, and in my growing ability...

Thank you, sweetie...

A lot of this is confidence...along with a modicum of talent.

I really think I might just be on to something here...

THANK YOU...

16. Your ABILITY is not growing.
It's your AWARENESS of your ability that is growing. And that's much more important.

Your eyes are opening, and you're now looking upon a larger, more complex, much more wonderful universe than you've been aware of before.

NOW the real fun starts.

19. For you
WHOEVER YOU MAY BE

To you, a stranger,
whoever you may be-
I reach out with
these words
perhaps to touch,
to stir a thought;
to cause ideas new
to coalesce-
Communication!
Subtle form
of immortality-
Remarkable,
to say a thing
not said before
to you,
a stranger,
whoever you may be.

Your poem speaks volumes to me, a stranger...

See, you learn something new everyday!!!:hi: :hi: :hi:



"It's like a cosmic reservoir, there's no limit to the amount that could be fed into the link gate... Pure power, pure and perfect, controlled by the mind of man... You know... I don't want to sound prophetic but heh... we're close to becoming gods."
