My eyes locked on to your repose and now I have been exposed Yes, yes is there no cure? The tippy tap is spreading for sure The clickity clacking is tickling my brain all of your words are a singing refrain The phases keep coming like leaves to a breeze I see that it's spreading, this website's disease Electra |

Thanks Electra... I think this is terrific.... very beautifully written and very true also... I think we should start an organization called PWAA Poetry Website Addicts Anonymous This won't be like the usual addiction support groups... instead of trying to kick the addiction... this group would encourage it.  ~ neigborly addict hugsLyra copyright2002 Lyra Nesius "poetry is life distilled" Gwendolyn Brooks [This message has been edited by Madame Chipmunk (08-24-2002 11:27 PM).] |

Great idea Lyra. No need to be annoyomous. We all have pen names. Do you think we need a 10 step program?  Elec |

I really like that name, Barry... I guess we should take a poll... what do you think? They say that poets are a bit touched, y'know! So, I guess we have an excuse for a support group....*wink* Lyra |

Hmm, I think we're on to something. Fortunately, I don't think insurance coverage will be required for this particular disorder. "The doctor is Always in" The name is just a little too long but, the acroynm definately fits. Electra |

Oh, I like Magnus' new name for this "dis-ease"... at least it doesn't leave any visible scars, like chickenpox. |

I can see we have no shortage of members. WARPED we are and I'm definately "touched" The cure: Write the words and go to bed. You can rework it in the morning. Lyra, I think you started a movement. SimplyGold [This message has been edited by SimplyGold (08-25-2002 08:49 AM).] |

Midnitesun, Ahha, I saw you with your opera cape Your handsome frame moved to escape You seemed to think no one did see But we were watching on t.v. The hidden camera picked up your face computer held with tight embrace We recognize the poems from you In fact, we know it's all you do! Oh no, my friend your still quite ill You must come back and take your pill Wishing you a long recovery... SimplyGold |

Bill, I'm afraid the only cure for your affliction is a pen and paper. Please transpose to your computer and forward it to the lab for results. SimplyGold |

Lyra, I see you have taken the first step and have stepped up to the plate to declare your addiction. The second step is to let us know what your latest poem is. We need the title and the reason for its inspiration. Now, who will be the next to declare. Magnus, Greeneyes, Bill Charles, Midnitesun, Skyfire, Mistletoe, Elizabeth, Duncan, Sunshine since you have taken the first step of admitting now, you must name a poem and its significant inspiration. Hope you'll all stay and play! [This message has been edited by SimplyGold (08-25-2002 06:44 PM).] |

Okay... My latest poem is called "My Little Alien" and it was dedicated to the memory of my late son, Eric... Today was his birthday. The poem is about his birth and it was posted this afternoon in Open 22... Do you need any more information, Electra ? Okay...now its someone else's turn Lyra |
