Wow, Melanie that is outstanding. And now I also understand you e-mail. Sorry that I didn't follow it this morning I guess I wasn't awake then. Very nice and touching. The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Hi, Saw your email and came to look, as I was reading it I was thinking, wonder what this would sound like read out loud, probably "PIG LATIN" or an unknown language, and then if you hadn't explained the Capital Letters, I might not have been smart enough to figure out the message. How very clever and creative, there might be an important job waiting for you somewhere! Thanks for the message, and keep on the upswing! Your friend Septsong. |

Echo this was soooo cool!! A very cool and unique way to write a poem!! It is also a great tribute to all the wonderful people here at Passions!!

I am just glad that everyone has enjoyed this poem/tribute. The main reason behind doing this was to leave here with you all knowing how much you mean to me. If it wasnt for the wonderful friends here, I can tell you I wouldn't be here sitting at this keyboard. Everyone here is family to me and I love you all so much. I am going to miss everyone greatly (if things work out by this weekend and I can still go, right now things are kind of being mean to me). I may have written this poem, but it was because of everyone here. Without even one person up there, our family is incomplete, and I know I don't have everyone up there, but if I had enough time I could write more to it and add more people, but I don't and I'm sorry, but you all get what I'm trying to say (I think) those darn pink elephants grrrrr anyways, thank you all for your love and friendship over the past few months! Just be glad I'm not your child! *evil grin* |

Wow, even included me--a newbie. Echo, I'm sorry, I didn't have the chance to get to know you, but I do know how much love and respect everyone has for you. I feel honored to have made your list before you left. I also appreciate your responses to my poems. I just wish I could have shared more with you. I have been reading many of your poems, but unable to respond like I would have liked. Open#5 is just way too big for me, so I've been posting in The Corner Pub. I only started writing poetry a few days ago, and already I have written over a dozen poems. I just want you to know that you had a lot to do with that. If not for you (and others like you here) I wouldn't have been so inspired. Thanks for reading my poems and best of luck, Gene |

I too am sorry that we have not gotten to know each other better as well, but there is still time =)I may be leaving soon, but as I have said before, I can't stay away from here for long =). Thank you for your sweet comment, and I wish you the best of luck and inspiration in your poetry! Just be glad I'm not your child! *evil grin* |
