if there are two sides to all of us then she must have at least seven or eight they come together here in a symmetrical double helix of personality and poetry revealing a heart full of passion and a mind full of life the words come from her like from a fountain of expression that all have sought and that few have found but instead of keeping the secret for herself, she shows us the way this daughter of eve, showing us the garden of ideas looking through the window of her heart and soul we see ourselves that is the reflection that we see it is not a reflection of ourselves but it's a reflection of her but yet it's a reflection of us that is the wonder of this mirror what we can see -------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Beautiful work here, Sven.  Doreen is a wonderful woman and a wonderful poet in my opinion. She shows all her sides well.  |

A great tribute to her Sven...I still wonder---lol, and she'll forgive me for this---I hope--does she write quickly or think slowly...'cause I just can't DO that. Her work is a portrait of a racing mind... Thank you for this one, Sven. And thank you, Doreen... |

WEll done. I see in that mirror a reflection of her extrordinary mind, which expresses thngs in a extrordinary way, and yet the ordinary in us recognizes it. She is a great poet and this is a fitting tribute Liz |

wow!!!for moi??? geez, Sven... thanks so much! i'm very honored that you would include me in your tributes ... and i truly appreciate all the kind things you've said about my writing.. i read this last night but had to think about it real slow to figure out how to thank you... and all i could come up with was to just say "thank you"... so... thank you oh, and it's think slow, type fast, edit edit edit edit.. that's my mind coming out of my fingers.. well, you can't keep a mind locked up inside a head for too long, y'know! *g  - all you can ever really ask out of life is a sincere apology and some decent poetry - |

She is all of that Sven, and more, and we don't even call her Sybil... she keeps ME sane! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, then speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

James, thank you my friend. . . it's the least that I can do for such wonderful people. . . Sunshine, I haven't called Doreen "Sybil" in quite a long time! And to keep us sane is quite an accomplishment. . .Doreen, you're welcome. . . I have always loved your work. . . and have always wondered how it came from you. . . and now with your "think slow, type fast, edit, edit, edit" formula. . . I finally understand!! Thank you my friend. . . and continued success to you. . . ------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Kethry, I do believe that you're going to make Doreen blush! Thank you my friend. . . ethome, she can indeed. . . her writing makes you think, like good writing should. . . walt, it definitely does not "reek" of Doreen! LOL Thanks for reading. . . Kit, those are words I would use in speaking about her also. . . thank you!! compassion, thank you. . . she is indeed deserving of the title Poetess. . . Martie, she is good at taking those thoughts and making them shine. . . thank you, glad that you liked it. . . Doreen, it seems that I'm not the only one that feels this way. . . I'm happy that you enjoyed this and I hope that reading all the comments made you see how much your work is enjoyed by everyone. . . ----------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |
