her heart speaks her pen writes the words speak they are a refuge from the world a haven for her spirit a place to release herself to give herself to share herself to know herself she knows the power of words the things that they can do the joys that can be given the stories given the songs given the life given and so, with pen in gentle hand she begins once more today and again the word speaks the mind speaks the soul speaks the life speaks ------------------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Like a dancing pixie, she trips in merrily, with wandlike pen scatters pixie's dust leaving us to grasp with child-like trust the images left behind, by Janet-Marie... she is a remarkable poet-person-with-a-later-'gator-style... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

It fills the heart with ecstacy The poet pen of Janet Marie So smoothly do emotions flow Across the screen they swiftly go The magic pen contains the view From the eye of one we thought we knew So sweet, so dear, yet life is taught From depths of sentiment and thought Spiced with exuberance galore WE daily watch and beg for more And now the Curator has placed A poetry portrait on the face WEll done, Sven Liz |

"the mind speaks the soul speaks the life speaks" Oh, this is so true of our wonderful JM ... she writes from the soul, and such beautiful words flow so vividly from her pen. She has an incredible talent for speaking her emotions. This is a wonderful tribute Sven, and such a beautiful poet you speak of so eloquently.  Best wishes, /Kit |

Yup you know your poets alright. This speaks so perfectly of her and believe me, you didn't miss a thing....well, maybe her "SQUEAKY" morning voice but that is kind of hard to tell in her poems and replies now isn't it. Your verses in dedication to the wonderful poets here at Passions is much inspiring and I haven't read a one yet that you missed on. You have a good feel for the poets and there heart and you pen it masterfully. I applaud you once again sir. |

NO one deserves this more than our own Janet Marie. Wonderful words, Sven. What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. Walt Whitman |

Unfortunately, I'm afraid the poem can't be written to due all the justice to JanetMarie she deserves but you came very close, Sven. |

sven, this thought came to me the other day..usually we write poetry so that people get to know about us and that our own feelings and thoughts take center stage.... just want to say that it takes an exceptional poet who is willing not to bask in the limelight, who is willing to take a step back and give others their due... Sven, this Passions Gallery is sooooo special and i appreciate your efforts |

quote: That's the line that stuck out at me. You're right, Sven... she does know the power of words. Although lately, she's been doubting them, deeper on the inside she does understand and know that words have power, poetry has power, and it's a power that's well at her command... She really is something, that girl... a shame I haven't read this before. You wrote it well, Sven. Kudos. Parasite Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world. |
