Connected to life pain She hides so much inside Her abstinence in restrain Reveals a heart world-wide She bleeds pure poetry With every single write Nothing else can set her free Or see her through the night She'll give and give and give Till hollow to the core She will defend the right to live And leave us wanting more Her yearning captured heart That shows the softer side Causes poetry to start And flow through passion's pride She lifts the weak and weary Encourages… and then Returns to self so dreary Doesn't see her beauty penned Janet heart of compassion Exposed for all to see Teaches of redemption With full humility Her soaring, floating lyrics Take me back and then I reside with "Styrics" And come back home again Her 'gator muse is flowing For all the earth to see Even when her heart is cowing She set's her passion free Her weaving of great wonder Draws all to her side Her voice of pain and thunder Is really passion's pride Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |

Nothing else can set her free Or see her through the night ================== Keth, this does touch me, very much ... and as I told you in my note...I am so very complimented and humbled, and I thank you so very much. As I also told you I was taken back by how you know me well thru my poetry ... A gift of poetry and the gifts shared when we find our inspiration in anothers work, it one of the most treasured gifts of both poetry and this special place. You are to be applauded along with Sven for your efforts to bring us all closer with these poet portraits Thank you again, very much for this lovely gesture and honor. jm Sprayed across my heart and hers Danced butterflies in the wild This angel, this woman , who loves me with the innocence of a child. ~DeVante~ |

Kethry, this is perfect, you have painted her perfectly, and you have done a wonderful job. Oh this is soooooo great. Kethry love, if you want some superlatives I've got a bucket full, let me see. Ah ha! here we go, Excellant, Exquisite, Elegant, Delightful, Delicious, Delectable, De lovely, Fabulous, Fantastic, (and the French Fantasique) utterly Divine. Now I can let you have all these at a very cheap rate, being that 1) it's late, 2) I'm going home soon, and 3) I don't want anyone to find any superlatives on me. I'm not asking four smiles, I'm not asking three smiles, go on then to you 1 smile. But make sure it's in good nick.  Yes I am feeling frivolous it's Friday tommorow, well actually today, and I've got a whole day off. Take care Slushy Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Kethry, your wings are showing...and Janet Marie's eyes are shining...and the smiles are wide on both of you... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

'Deer, Merci beaucoup. Marsha, a veritable cornucopia of superlatives, thank you Martie Well,I think she's pretty special, but I hide that well don't I. Sunshine, she soars and I have wings they sort of go together well don't they. BDC, you forget to mention 500% faithful Sven she's a beauty, isn't she. Janet Marie - The words are mine but the image is pure you, as you are reflected through your outstanding words and encouragement. Janet how you've grown I've learned so much from you All the seeds you've sown Are gifted back to you Live well Kethry.

She sure does deserve to be honored for she is very, very special to all of us. This is so lovely, I KNOW she'll appreciate it! 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 |

Now I could have sworn that I replied to this but maybe I was just in one of those cyber dreams...what with the wonderful way you portrayed our sweet JM and all that she means to us and then mixed in with finally getting to see your picture and all. Well it is no wonder that I was left in a daze.  She is truely all that you say and even more and believe me I KNOW. She is and will always be one that will hold a piece of me forever and I treasure her dearly and you for penning such a wonderful tribute to her.A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |
