This piece has a dynamic effect on me. I see the thoughts, and feel the feelings, but the words to describe the emotion instilled are out of reach. "I like it" seems far too trite. Very, very nice. @}~~~>~~~~ |

An acrostic! Well done at that! But you are NOT shunned around here! You got all of us! Here's a HUG, I hope you it makes you feel a bit better <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |

Just the idea that someone saw it was an acrostic is enough to make me happy. Of course it would have been YOU to notice wouldn't it? I guess I have been feeling a little bit "forgotten by the wayside" lately... ah well, as the proctologist said... this too shall pass...

hey whew....sad to say but this hits....though in a bit of a different way, my life is such a mess that I am shunning contact (like there is so much to shun lol) and leaving pip today for a respite into myself, but had to come for lunch for a few last reads......glad this was one of them, and sending hugs ...this is well written because I know the feeling.........*nods her head* |

in response to the acrostic, "no, you're not..." Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Glad to see you around here again JP. It took me a minute to figure out is was an acrostic, I had my suspicions though ;p Good job. "Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me." |
