A sweet butterfly trilogy complete, With abundant energy and mood buoyant, A summer evening endearingly greets, Pepped up, my soul become flippant. I sat upon the same Sunday park bench, where morning beauties had stolen my heart, On a look out for new subjects, to quench, this upstart poet's thirst for a new start. Envigorated to the heights by generous acts Of passionate friends throwing lavish praise, I think that its high time to dwell upon a fact, thats its time to repay some debt, rest my case. Thank you my friends for always being there, For your kind words, your solemn support, This is my family, my second home is here, My heart is touched, this I had to report. ~~~ With all my heart, Thank You... For making me a part of your family... Thank You...for everything... Thank You... [This message has been edited by Sudhir Iyer (edited 06-22-2000).] |

No matter where we go in our lives, what we do, we are always going to be a family. Look up under the Login link at the upper right of this screen. THAT is our motto, our mission, our goal: "A home without a wall, Our haven without ends, A circle we all call Our Family of Friends!" We are so glad you call you family!  |

Family, friends, comrades, acquaintances, [some] lovers, companions, buds, soulmates.. yep, we're all here and accounted for! It's a full feeling, isn't it, Sudhir? One that I would not give up willingly... our hats are off to you, my friend, for all of the sharing YOU have done! Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

It's my second home too, Sudhir...but I must disagree with that upstart poet comment...you do write very well, and I don't stand for comments like that from my family! Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

It is you, Sudhir, Who has been an inspiration to all of us, especially to me. Your talents in prose writing as well as poetry is obvious, but you bring us a distinct new style, a sensitivity to all around you, a strong compassion, a good heart, and best of all you share this all so eloquently with us. You have been an influence on me and I'm sure on others as well, and may beautiful words continue to flow from you pen and from your extraordinary mind. And this poem is lovely Thank you Love Liz |

Sudhir, I am sad to see the end of your butterfly series, but as they say all good things must come to an end. I look forward as always to your next posting. I think Elizabeth said it best, I agree 100% with her. I am honoured to be in the presence of a great poet and a master of his craft. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

For you brian, my friend, more butterfly poems will be written, but other subjects are enticing me to have a peek at them... so please hold on for some time, while butterfly memories visit me and fly by... and thanks a lot for your words... regards, sudhir |

So elegantly penned Sudhir ... as is proven to be your incredibly wonderful style. I fear we're quite addicted here, but its so easy to do amongst such a wonderful community of compassionate souls. I heartily agree with your sentiments, and thank "you" as well, for all of your touching responses. Glad you posted this Sudhir! (I must apologize too if I've missed responding to any recent poems ... I've missed reading MANY wonderful poems I'm sure, as my schedules been a little crazy of late ... hope to catch up and move forth with gusto!)Best wishes and thanks right back at ya, /Kit [This message has been edited by Kit McCallum (edited 06-22-2000).] |

This was wonderful. (love the butterfly, Janet Marie) I believe this speaks for myself and everyone, its a place where you can post your poetry, sit back, knowing that if someone truly dislikes it, they won't reply brashly, if they love it, they tell you, pure and simple. it's a place where you can feel free to express yourself without a list of rules, we all try, and we all should learn, but here, you can write...freely and boy that means a lot sometimes Kathleen "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace." Elizabeth Barrett Browning |

Sudhir, From the moment you began at Passions I have loved your work. You write with a fresh new style that is full of love and warmth, and really intrigues me. I admire you in a nutshell. Thank you for your ever so gracious replies to my work as well! Passions is home to me too and I am honored to call you my friend as well as the other fine people here! Take care & best wishes always! Love, Amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |
