How can I keep track in reading all those lovely poems when every minute there are added some more I must take a course in fastreading and fastthinking to answer all that poetry I so adore How can I keep track when I've a man, dogs, cats, sheep big garden, full job who constantly ask my attention and visiting friends, and gardenshows, fishing, writing poetry, rebuilding this old house I won't even mention How can I keep track when I haven't even visit all the forums yet and my telehonebill will never ever more be the same it's two AM and it doesn't bother me 'cause I found a solution when people ask me WHY? I'll just say dear friends that you are to blame Titia (ha, ha, got ya)  [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (edited 05-19-2001).] |

It always pleases me to see that what always changes...still remains the same... many of us have "gotcha" with this very type of poem...and I have always noticed... the busier we are? The more we try to get here...to relax....read....share.... well done, Titia.... |

I ditto what Sunshine says, there is just never enough time that I need to visit here and read and relax. Nodding and agreeing** On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |

Poet deVine (don't know your real name) yes it sure is hard to stop, because now it's already 4 AM and I really must tuck myself under. Thank you. Irish Rose, you may post all you want, I'll read them all. Must take on some sidework to pay my telephonebill then, but who cares. Sunshine, thought so too, but it's a lot easier when you can blame someone else isn't it. Gentle Spirit, you just crossed my reply. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

A picture has a thousand poets. Or maybe that's a million. We each can look at the same thing and come away with completely different thoughts. I guess we will never be able to read them all. It's the thought that counts. And I think this poem which I happened to read was wonderful. Roger TPP |

Titia---So true! A few months ago I quit my job, assuring all that I'd have another within a week. But then I sat down here, started reading and responding 18 hours a day and couldn't seem to move away for the next month! I had the most fun...would do it, again in a sec, if I could afford to. |

Titia, This was a very fun read. I think we have all felt this way at one time or another. So much poetry and so little time!!  LW All writing comes |

Auguste had the problem right, life gets in the way of our pleasures sometimes. However, I come and go as I please so I guess I am one of the lucky ones. Very well done Titia, you got me! |

Titia, How true this is! When I first came here, I was unemployed and spent much time here. Now things have changed and I don't get to be here quite as much... I try though! Great poem  TaraB |

Indeed, as time is the one commodity we humans have, it is difficult to ration. Still "balance in all things" New to new enjoy IceNeyes |

but, but, but how are you going to stay awake in the daytime for all the 'life' things? When open 14 began yesterday, I vowed I wouldn't get behind, I'd read them all. Then I was gone from home for 11 hours. EGADS! Someone let Erato's flood gates open! |

Well VAS, I can do with very little sleep, only 5 to 6 hours a night and sometimes less. Thank you for reading. Titia |

this is truly wonderful. The time I've spent on here reading (and I read more than I reply) is excellent and inspirational. |

sYes, more than once have I tried to red every poem and have had to give up, because they come too fastfor me to savor. Good job. Joyce |

Titia~ Well, the nice thing is that they don't disappear ... Just turning a few pages gets you 'caught up' in a heartbeat. LOL ! Beats the heck out of the library or the bookstore ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

There are some advantages... *G* I can read from home but can't post... so I've had to get VERY good at my job to carve out some reply time. *G* And I do visit the library often... even if it's only to browse while I wait my turn on a computer! LOL. Great job! |
