My poems when unwritten Can send me quite distraught When it's done it's well forgotten Out of mind is out of thought But when the writing's finished Posted on the internet It's as if it never happened How quickly I forget I read back over old ones And wonder what I sought It seems that once it's written It's out of mind and out of thought It's not I am so modest Or don't know what is what It just that when I've posted It's gone and I forgot It is with awe and wonder I see the comments there Reading all those poems I wrote with deep despair Remembering the feeling And not words or rhyme Out of thought and of mind Happens all the time It seems that my small memory Can contain but one thought Out of mind is out of sight That's often what I've wrought. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown [This message has been edited by Kethry (04-03-2002 08:53 AM).] |

  (big hugggssssssss) You are never alone, sweet friend, I too have written for over two years and I have over 600 poems written, yet many of the old ones I forget and I always find myself looking over my hard copies in the binder where I keep them all safe and I am astonished at how I've progressed not only in my style but in my emotions as well! (kiss on cheek) You have described this perspective soooooo wonderfully, sweet friend, your words always make me smile, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

i often think of the mind frame that could have written my many poems...we are factories with orders to deliver, I say to myself..nice expression of the mechanics of the mind |

Keth darling sister of my heart, and writer of my dreams Ohhhhhhh how I love this poem it has style it has grace it flows across the page with perfection. Its timing is excellent, as are the words Thank you darling heart this is exquisite, and I know you’re going to say YOU always say that but that’s because you always write so beautifully and so well. I love this utterly  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 Luke 2:79 |

Keth, thanks for your wonderful thoughts! Again, you inspire me tow write. Doctor Poetry When I am sad or feeling blue inside And need release to let my spirit rise I write some lines of verse of thoughts I hide In poetry I wash away all lies. And then I feel refeshed and go along A happy soul with new found energy I walk and skip and run and sing my song For I got well from doctor Poetry.

Kethry~ 'My poems when unwritten Can send me quite distraught' Well ... I can sure relate here~ If it weren't for the ability to pen 'em, I'd be a complete basket case~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Kethry, I know exactly what you mean. If I didn't keep a file of all mine, I am sure I would forget a lot of them. Dee I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |

Dear Keth, Well written, and I can relate. I never thought I'd write enough poems to have to keep copies to remember. I was wrong. As in so many other areas of life. Nan |

Hello Lynne This was written so well and I could so relate to everything you said. I don't often have the time to look back at my poems but when I do it sometimes amazes me and I can't help but think "Who was that person that wrote that?" I find my writing is so often a mood thing. Take care......Sue Suetang |

Auntie Kethp my absolute favourite auntie, You are never out of sight, mum has your pic here by the computer. And your smiling face is always within view. Mum read this one way I read it another, but whatever the interpretation it is excellent writing. I get to read a lot of my favourite aunt’s work and I must say how can you forget such beauties. Now I know you’re going to say that I’m biased because of mum, but you’d be wrong It’s true mum has read your poems to me, but she let me make up my own mind. I, like mum, know what I like and I love your work.  Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |

When I first saw the title, I thought... well geesh... that describes ME for some people... all too well. *G* (I became a nag out of self-defense. *G*) And then I thought... that could never describe you... for whether you're posting or not, you're in our thoughts... and we mind any absence. *S* I eventually stopped reading the title and started reading the poem. *G* And lo and behold, I relate to the poem as much as to the title! *G* Words that insist upon my attention... to the detriment of sleep and sanity *G*... disappear from my memory cells the minute they're committed to paper. *G* I absolutely love this, Kethry! *S* |
