“Can you please hand me a tissue?” She said. And smiled, with teeth so white. You could melt glass with light from those teeth. Leave windows and mirrors a melting, supernova orange. You’re beautiful, but there’s no way I’m letting you into my car. ____________________________________ (Old poem, not a part of a series...) Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand. |

Hey Paul, I be watching you! Fix the first stanza to: “Can you please hand me a tissue,” she asked and smiled -- her teeth so white! Rest is more than fine. You just might have a future in this business, which is a curse, not a blessing. Pick at some of your stuff like you were poking a needle in your own eye, and send it out. You're creating the type of owrk that would get you into Grad School at the University of Iowa's Writer's Program. You're supposed to get a BA first, but they make excdeptions. Take everything seriously, now that you are getting serious, every word, every punctuation mark, and do what you do with informed integrity. Yours intangerine, Jimbeaux (I remember EVERYTHING) |

Yo Paul, Don't be that way. You can miss out on a lot of fun with an attitude like that. Bobby |

I've been smiling at the title alone, and you already know I'm a fan... this kinda reminds me of an old flame I called Pepsodent (and no, he didn't like it when I did that) but lovin' what you are doing here, and I'm grateful to peek in your notebooks occasionally. |

I know what you mean. Can you imagine the damage she could do with those teeth.......You just might have to wear dark glasses the rest of your life. Well, cause you'd be supernova star. In certain eyes of course. Was her name Andromeda Jones or something like that? Eric |
