I went in whole heartily
shoveling to turn my rooted affections
covering myself
burrowed in my turmoil
wingtips brushing the surface
caught up in my desire
nothing more or less
my compost, a postscript
for friendship's sake
wallowing in my apology
forsaken for writing
a hot headed, hot nozzle
turned full blast
digging holes deeper
wronged by the toil of loose ends
implications I've raked havoc on
like a child slumbers, haphazardly
blundering until I break through common ground
jagging the edge
folded twice.

~*~

I've burned my own bridges, you know who you are
and I am sorry.  
I needed to make my peace before I took my leave.
My best to all of you...always~

BluesieGirl,
I don't need to tell you how much mileage ownership is worth.

Straight forward...so like you. Courage girl.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Edder~ I've been told I am a lot of work,
the truth of the matter is~ it hurts.
Thanks for reading me.

Dear Larry~ If only I would learn to put
a lock on my mouthy mouth!     
Thank you for your unconditional friendship and caring enough.  
That was and is my whole point.

Lori,
You do know that's one of my favorites traits in you, right?

Lori,

"Ive been told I am a lot of work"

Well, if it takes an insult to produce this kind of poetry from you I am trying hard as I can to insult you...

That will take some time, so stick around and surely you can get more than one poem from one insult..start writing...grinning here....and hugging you...with the warmest regards
clearly your feelings have been deeply hurt and that is no laughing matter...

But, please,  (consider the source(s), before making any drastic decisions)..

I am one who can pay someone a compliment and they end of feeling I insulted them, and insult someone and they end of feeling I complimented them...mainly in real life, not in Passions..but, I can write in general and some here think I am speaking specifically of them...and choose to feel offended...and cap on it...good sources of poetry, I guess!

Seems like my favorite people here disappear from time to time, Alyssa, Susan, Linda, Cpat, and alas, ...you all are turning me into a P.I., and just about when I'm off to find someone they reappear...

Whoever that was surely meant you are "a work" in the finest sense of that meaning ... and this poem proves it...

So much great imagery in this I'll be back to comment; I believe this to be one of your best...

Hugs, Pat

  

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

Oh, no! Please say it isn't true!
I cannot imagine a Passions without you!

When I first joined this family, I was new to the net, I screwed up a lot of things, made many faux pas---and was referred to as a "friggin' troll" by a more vocal member who has since left. Man, did I ever feel like leaving! --but I'm glad I stuck it out.

In all sincerity Dear Blue One, do not leave us! We all love you!

Love & Eternal Light,



Linda

Lori, I do hope this does not mean you are leaving Passions!
I am only one of many many people here who appreciate your writing.
You are a work of art!
Please don't go...

Lori,

I still don't have time to review this poem like I want to but I had to comment about Linda having been referred to as a "friggin troll"....

Hehe...how awful, but how funny...knowing her as I do, and we all do.... Oh tsk!  

so NOT who she is....it makes me laugh!

And, this is not just a 'mood'...this clearly is a painful reality to you, and to many of us. I validate this very true dynamic which happens way too often... It didn't happen because of what you are not, but, what you are!!!  A class act and I know you are not looking for compliments, but negativity like that is often based on jealousy and envy....

Hang in there....

Hugs, Pat

  

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

well, I don't know your work, but I see some of me in this, I suppose some of us all if we are honest, we all dig our own holes and then step right into them...I have left passions several times.... and then have come back with a changed name (not hiding per se, just leaving the old behind if you know what I mean) only to be 'discovered' as soon as I post a poem or 2...I hope that you will find that the poets here are extremely forgiving, and loving, and you will come back soon
this is a wonderful expression of human weakness and strength

Hey Lori!  Let's go dig some holes, pull out some worms, and go fishin'!  Now that we've got to do that, and then work up some more poetry - we can let it be known that we make our apologies - and once we do that, it's up to the other person[s] to either accept them as given - or except US as we are.  I tend to accept folk for who they are...

So...let's get back to poetry, yes?

Alot of work? Such a lovely thing to say, god I just LOVE people. Well as for needing work, I have companies drooling over contracts for my reconstruction considering its such an expansive project that would employ thousands and take years to finish just ask the winged one

Larry~ Are you talking about my hot head, some trait!!  *smooch*

Hey little birdie~ thanks for always being here to rest on my shoulder~
it feels that way to me, thank you tweets~

Pat~I will take that as a compliment while considering the sources!
You're so smart!!  
I'm glad you enjoyed my poem, seems  we write some of our best (better) stuff
when we're  feeling too much!   I doubt seriously that I am envied,
don't really want to be, would rather be forgiven.
If anything that particular trait (forgiving) is worth envying.  
Just a matter of time before I dust myself off and get back in the game!  ~hugs~

Maureen~ Mood swings can be more detrimental than the real thing!  
Thank you for always being here, and for extending your hand of friendship.
Means a lot to me!!  ~Hugs~ M

Linda~ Maybe I should change my handle to faux pas!
Sounds better than any excuses I can come up with for acting this way.
You are so refreshing and I thank you for your gracious reply
and making me smile a little brighter today.  

Nancy~ I get worked up over the smallest things  I never did get comfortable with the computer and the elements surrounding it.  I'm a slow learner, I just need to take a little time for me and accept the things I cannot change.  I have always known that, I just forget to remember.
Thanks, hugs and smiles back at you~

jellybeans~You've got me pegged, digging my own hole and stepping right into it.
I'm good at that!!!  I thank you for your warm reply and reading both my weakness
and strength in it.....Some days I am an open book that even I want to close!
  Oh wooooa is me, at least I don't feel so all alone!  
I shall read your words over and take heed in them, thank you so much!.

Sunshine~ I have this mental image of swinging my legs over the end of the pier
while taking each day as it comes and forget about all the cans of worms I've opened
in my life and times.  Apologies can sound so shallow...thank you for letting it be.

Well, I have shot my mouth off before and certainly two wrongs don't make a right,
but I try not to sit in judgment or hold grudges.
I just have pity parties every so often, in celebration of my long term shortcomings.       
Thanks for reading Raph~

Hi Lori  
I'm sorry that I haven't been here as much the last few days and that I missed this poem. It was back here where I may have not seen it if Ed hadn't put a link to it on his poem. (Thank you, Ed).

Lori, I would like to tell you that I know exactly how you feel, I think. Sometimes, I let a reply or a comment get to me and the more I think about it, the worse it makes me feel. I know, though, that most everyone here is really nice and kind-hearted.

Do you know what else, though? Every time that I can remember since I've been at PIP that I have gotten my feelings hurt, you have always been right there to cheer me on and encourage me. I appreciate you doing that for me, Lori. You know, that's what friends do, and I thank you very much.

I truly hope that you don't leave here...Dear Lady I need all the encouragement that I can get these days when it seems like so much is going wrong here at home. (I mean my personal life).

Anyway, there I went getting long-winded again. Just know that I really do consider you my friend, and I appreciate you very much......Oh, and I certainly do like your poetry, too...not just your replies to me.  

Heart Hugs to you from me     
Ethel

As you know I didn't respond to this poem (here, at least) the first time I read it.

Nor the fifth.

But the vote's in, and it looks unanimous, or close enough not to matter. So I can say my little piece now, which is:

I'm so glad you're here.

I have no idea who or what the 'apology' is for. Perhaps I've not kept up with the goings-on at this board?
LOL, if you are a hot head, then most of us are volcanoes at one time or another.
You are a REAL human.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Lori, I sure hope you are not seriously leaving, dearest friend, you are very special to us all and a true inspiration to so many of us all both artistically and emotionally! (sigh) You have many hands overlapping your shoulders, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lori, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

BluesSerenade - h'mmmm, now I have no idea what's happening, but I don't know what I will do if I can't look at that beauty you possess when I see your photo every time I read one of your poems.

Now if you wanted to leave and take a spell with a picnic under the old willow tree in the moonlight with yours truly, well now that's a different story...

This poem needs to die already~

I've excercised my womanly rights,
and changed my mind.

Thanks for reading you guys~
