When you look at your reflection is it a stranger that you see For I can’t see how you go on without actually blaming thee So which side of your mouth should I expect to hear your answer For when it comes to honesty you are truly a fine dancer You are the first man I’ve known that is made of stone, and not of clay Resolute in your accuses that get you through your dying days So fingerless man, keep imputing others, and living in self-pity It is only yourself you’re shooting by allowing yourself impunity © David 2002 [This message has been edited by GenXer (01-15-2002 11:44 PM).] |

oh I hear ya! Lots of men (and women) are cold as stones! I once tried to soften a guy up that had a heart of ice, but for the life of me I could not melt that ice. I enjoyed this. RP |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) So very sad but well-aid, sweet friend, my heart goes out to everyone who wallows in their self-poty and pray they can all look up to hope and rise to a brand new day with a new smile of hope and joy! (big hugggsssss) So very sensitive and touching, sweet friend, we all love you so much, God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet David, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

RP - You should have checked out his fingers before you tried to melt his frozen heart. Thanks for reading. Noah - Some people can't see for themselves that they create their own misery. I, sometimes, am one of those people. Thanks for reading. Dave |

Very good poem, Dave...I think we have all known people like this guy.  He probably got this way from eating too much of your lousy NY pizza.  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Lyra - Just like a person from MI to blame all the ills of society on NY pizza. Thanks for reading, but not for bashing my towns pizza. You know, we are really stuck in a rut with this pizza war.lolDave |

Well, on the bright side, a fingerless man will never give you the finger!  |

Dave darling boy fabulous writing but a little on the gloomy side Hhmmmm? I love it anyway the real question is do I forgive you for being my own little black cloud? I suppose I can forgive you since it is fabulous writing and I love you, and it’s my Birthday week and you know I’m in a happy mood. Besides I’ll give you a pressie later, a little dish of retribution, you’ll like that I know, I’m told it’s better than any pizza. Big smile  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Dave, I like the way you've pointed the finger at all of us to look into the mirror. It's so easy to blame others or point out faults when we're blinded to our own. Nice work. Cheryl |
