... ...


That was the question I asked myself a mere three years ago today... I recall not knowing if she was a "she" or a "he" at that time... I just had to wait it out and figure it out from her poetry - Which I did in pretty short order (even though she wrote in that free verse stuff)... ... We've all got her doing some pretty fine formatted verse now too, don't we?

Vicky joined Passions in Poetry on July 25, 2000 - Who'da thunk we'd get all that good poetry from this lady?

Congratulations on THREE GREAT YEARS, Vicky Raynes... We LOVE YA...

What a great anniversary!  Three years!  Three inches of rain...

um...something needs to be fixed.  More years = more rain?  Hey!!! That might do it!

Pretty soon, vlraynes, y'all are going to be under water...better yet, move closer to me and I can promise it at least twice as much as you've got, now!!!!

Congrats, Girl, on a great anniversary!

Three years of Vlraynes?



No wonder my face is still wet
Of laughs and tears from the day we met
You gave us joy to eyes and heart
With words in rhyme, twisted so smart
You are a friend to hold tight on
I missed you on the days you were gone
Your skill in form amazed me dear
HURRAY for three years of Vlraynes here


Titia



Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

My only regret about Vicky's three years at Passions, is that I missed two of them!--but I'm making up for lost time and reading everything she posts! Believe me, if I happen to miss one, it is a sin of accidental omission!

Congratulations Vicky! I love your wit, charm, humanity--and talent!
