When it comes to pessimism There's only one thing I can say No sense in being pessimistic It wouldn't work out anyway. But your poem is like your smile And it's surely worth the while. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Linda, this is excellent, sweet friend, I have always been an optimist, though the only difference is that I suffered as a boy being hopeful, now I believe in that being a virtue, this is gorgeous, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

EA an age old question that I'm glad you've found the answer to. Now can you tell me "If a tree falls... Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Pilgrimage ~ Thank you, but to be perfectly honest, I am more of an eternal optimist---and sometimes that takes an incredible amount of mental fortitude, especially at those times when the light appears to have gone out of your life. ~ May the lights in your life never go out EA |

VAS ~ Thank you. I love trite and true! I'm a walking-talking cliche! I believe there is a lot of wisdom inherent in truisms! Many writers shy away from them, but I embrace them!---and I get a real kick out of making them up! EA [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (11-13-2002 11:39 AM).] |

Magnus ~ Cute! Very cute! However, I feel that you are probably more of an optimist--- optimistically speaking, that is! lol Thank you for humorous poetic reply! EA |

Even though that poem is that short, it has a very big meaning. To me, your trying to say just look at the bad as good? like in war, and people were being killed right and left, but you got shot in the legs with one of them cannon things, lol.. But then you have to leave because your hurt, and you are one of the three people that lived the battle..lol, I probably shouldnt of gave the example. I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait. |

Kethry ~ Ah, yes--the tree/fall/forest/alone/sound?-scenario. --Dunno! hehe ********************************************* /jen/ ~ Merci beaucoups! ********************************************* Marti ~ There are times when it requires a tremendous amount of mental discipline and determination to see the bright side of a situation, especially when the light appears to have gone out and you are plunged into darkness. ********************************************* Connel ~ Yes, that is an apt analogy! Thank you for that! ********************************************* ~ May you all, forever be well! Love, Light, and Laughter EA [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (11-13-2002 10:46 PM).] |
