This is my farewell to Pip. If anyone wishes to know why they can read the comments in the "The Colours" thread. Goodbye. |

Don't let one persons opinion deminish your many friendships you have created here. This same person told me poetry does not have to rhyme, but it should make sense. (Read into that what you will) I hope you stay. I enjoy your work and look forward to more. If you go, You will be missed. |

Colours and Colors English and American English I don't intend to speak for Mr. Jordan, but take off is not the same as a knock off. I didn't see the comment as a negative, but merely an indication of a possible interpretation of the poem, what would history look back on the "Charge of the Light Brigade" and see? Having been around Passions a long time, I personally prefer to read poets who have the ability to use rhyme and meter effectively. (not an easy task) Again, not speaking for anyone but my lonesome, but I think your poetry adds to the site. |

I do not believe it was meant in malice only to say that is was similar here are some words for thought there are almost no words of our language that any writer has not written and in it it is not theft but more that writers think alike please do not leave we have enjoyed your poetry |

Oh, no! Please don't go! When I first started at pip I inadvertently confused a poet's significant other with another fellow pipster and that poet announced to the world that I was a "friggin' troll" and told me never to reply to their poems again. Well, I was absolutely mortified! ~ and almost quit! ~ But I am soooooo glad that I didn't. I have made so many wonderful friends, have enjoyed some of the best poetry in the world, and have been spurred on to write hundreds and hundreds of poems! I read your poem "The Colours" and I am very impressed by your talent and your story-telling ability. I was also impressed by your articulate and highly knowlegeble reply that you wrote in response to one of your responders who I truly believe was not bad-intentioned. Love & Poet Light, Linda P.S. That poet has long since left pip and I'm still here! lol |

Come on, dear David, your presence and your high quality as a Poet are deeply appreciated. You are oversensitive probably, but believe me there is no reason to fold your beautiful wings. Love, Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Hello, I've not yet had what I'm sure will be the certain pleasue of reading your poetry, but as a prodigal in my own right, PIP is a home worth cultivating. Stay, or at least return in due course. Bob |

I too have enjoyed the colours of your poetry, and remember your critique theme... Now, being that the term fair is subjective... Please remember always this: Poetry as an art form gives many gifts. The first is the release of the author, in its intended thought, and subsequently open to each reader to take a personal message away with them. When you get the odd recant, it is more significant to the vision of the reader...true for all of us. Shake it off Sir, and do what you do best...write your heart. |
