Addicted To Passions In Poetry Too many postings Too little time I’m lost in your meter Your rhythm, your rhyme I’m addicted to Passions I can’t get enough You words are amazing This is very good stuff I read every posting Each word, every line Your talents delight me Your poetry fine You pour out you feelings Into fine works of art Each tiny fragment A glimpse of your heart You write of your life Loss, humor and love The poets so special Like Wolfgang and Whtdove There’s Seymore and Michael Ron, Julie and Nan Caroline and The Jackal Craig and Inclan We can’t forget Balladeer His works how they move me Master, Isabelle and Tyke Denise and Ms Peri Then there’s Dream Evil Who talents are rare Mike, Tim and Toerag And Sunshine so fair There are Poets and Angels Of which we have many Lucie and Rainbow girl Did I forget any? The numbers astounding Too many to name But I find myself reading Each one just the same So, here I sit It’s now time for bed My eyes are tired But I keep reading instead There’s so much talent I just can’t believe it I hate to miss any Not one little bit Each poet so special The list never ends And they’ve gone from strangers To being my friends It is with sad heart That I must turn away What the heck, one more posting Then I’ll call it a day  ------------------ "Nobody has measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold" ~Zelda Fitzgerald [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (edited 09-09-99).] |

Dear Hoot, Let me be the first but not the last to say this is a wonderful poem and it will probably break a record for responses. *L* |

This is great! Exactly how I feel. I even keep PiP on my computer at work so during slow times, I can jump on and read... so, will the first Passions Anonymous meeting be held at your place? |

Hoot, I've come to know the truth about Passions in the last few weeks and so I have to agree with you, for the most part. Thank you for a tribute well done. ------------------ Pain is life, life is short, I will endure. DreamEvil© |

Hi my name is Izzy and I'm a Passions-a-holic.

You are a very special person, ruth. Thank you soooo much for including my name in this excellent tribute! even though I had my PERIscope up, I didn't see it comin'!! You need to add your name in there, instead of keeping it on the PERImeter as author. nice job! ok, now that I got my "response" fix, I need to write a poem... quick! I knew I was an addictive personality, but this is getting ridiculous..... LOL |

Marvelous ... this place ranks right up there with chocolate and cappuccino on the "addictive" list ...  Balladeer is right, though ... you should have mentioned yourself in your lovely little piece ... give credit where credit is due, so to speak ... Good stuff ... more please! ------------------ "Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morierus" (Now as I hear this bell tolling softly for another, it says to me, "Thou must die.") |

Wonderful poem, Hoot!!! A terrific tribute to poets whose talents continue to astound me. As addictions go, this isn't a bad one to have! |

Lady Hoot: I echo the sentiments of all who have come before. Thank you for the tribute. You too deserve to be in that list of PIP's Top Picks. That, and I would have to say in the last two months I've probably spent 95% of my time with the internet right here. Addicted? Quite possible, but I'll never admit it. |

Hello. My name is roxane, and I'm a passions in poetry addict. This poem was so cute. I can't believe that I hadn't read it yet. I believe that just about everybody on here becomes addicted after a while. |

Oh Hoot, I am sure you have captured the exact feelings of most of the frequenters of Passions...But I am not sure, how many of us could have penned it so well.. Certainly not me..!!OMG, I am starting to wonder, is there some way I could get a 'Passions-patch' to fight this addiction?? I think I am gonna have to go to a rehab..!! |
