Today I'm celebrating the wonderful moments I've spent here at Passions with you, my family. You have given me many hours of complete enjoyment, and it still amazes me that so many poets from so many places can get together like this, and share what we love the most.......writing! So, this one's for all of you!!  And keep writing!!Do you write what you live, or do you live what you write? Do you pen from experience, or from dreams of the night? Is it just wishful thinking? “Only if’s” that aren’t there? Or is it carved in your soul... Scars that heal when you share? Do you contemplate details, build your verse like a fort? or does your pen just start writing, words that you can’t abort? Do you find yourself penning your memories and dreams? Or do you contemplate strictly on visible things? Do folks ever ask if your poems are all true? Just what makes them think it all happens to you? When they read the fantasies, straight from your head... Do they think it’s God’s truth, and you lived what they read?! A painter can paint... A musician can play... But a poet creates, in a different way... Using words to portray scenes a reader can feel... It’s an art, and as such, could be false, could be real... The stories are many, Not all will be told... The words are his sustenance, and worth more than gold... He writes with a passion that burns deep within... Mixing fiction with truth, feeding thoughts through his pen... Live...Love...Be grateful for both!! |

Wonderful conglomerate of ideas about writing, Sunnyone. Well done! I think I'm guilty of each type of writing. Even my fiction can be based on something I've heard of or experienced. Of course, I write pure fantasy, too. So happy you are so happy being here at Passions. |

My sweet sister, you do know how to let the beauty of your soul shine don't you? These words are so perfect for the poet and of course you know that as you are truely a poet of much talent and vision. Now, I do believe that over time we have all come to know that if we were to pen of only true life circumstance, then we would never have the chance to kiss as many stars as we do. Wonderful write here sis, and have I told you that your new pic is just as lovely as you are. Full of your creative talent and eye for art but not hiding the beauty of the subject. Just how did you get all the looks in the family anyway?  |

VAS... Yes, I think we write from all of our inner resources, fact and fiction and sometimes a mix of both. I'm always in awe of authors like Stephen King!! What a fantastic muse he has!! Thanks, also!! Hi Big Brother... Oh......I love that expression..."kissing the stars!!" It goes along with my home page, and you wouldn't mind if I borrowed it for a poem, would you? Thank you for reading my little 3200 poem, and I'm glad you liked it, too. And, BTW, I don't have your picture, so it's very possible that YOU are the looker of the family!!! Ha!!!  Live...Love...Be grateful for both!! |

Sunny Beautifully written and true in so many ways. The few poems that I have written have come from my heart. I have to feel deeply what I am writing. Enjoyed this one! Ariana |

Sunnyone, we who write, live to write and write to live. Sharing our poetry with others is like showing them a piece of our reality, as well as our dreams. I loved what you wrote for its a reflection of us poets and our lives. A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes. |

Ariana... From the heart is the best, I think......I love all the raw emotion, whether it be happy or sad......it's still the stuff from which we're made! Thank you!! Bill... Ah, yes...so well do I know that we share those similarities, my friend.....you are one of the masters of the heart's expressions!! Carry on!! Taffeta... Hello, my new friend...and Welcome to the family of poets!! Thank you, and you're always welcome here in my little corner of the room!! Kathleen... You are welcome, and thank you for reading it!! Walker... I also appreciate your style, and the way you have of sharing special feelings! That is what it's all about, being a writer. We just HAVE to share, that's what keeps us going.

Wow ! That's sure a lot of well thought out questions...this is a very thought provoking piece...and I wandered through loving every line of it!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
