My creations are childlike in contrast to your artistry; your textured introspection weaves a tightly knit bond around this loose mind, and spills like worm silk into these unskilled hands; still, I can almost discern the sharp intake of breath as it forms a border between us, my limning – feeble in the wake of your needle’s acumen, as always, your retort belittles me. © 2001 Corinne Bailey [This message has been edited by Corinne (edited 12-04-2001).] |

 (giggles with delight) Oh Corrine, your poetry always is expressed so wonderfully, your wisdom and heart always is shared in such a fabulous way! (smiles) This view on greed and the response to it is no exception! I love you, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Corrine, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Thank you all for your kind responses (special thanks to Doreen!). This morning after re-reading this, I don't like the title or using the word "poop" in context with the rest of the language of the poem. Think I'll think on this a bit. Thanks again! Cor |

I can't see how anybody could belittle your poetry. There is more intelligence in your work then I've seen in most. Its a shame that some intellectual people are so self obsorbed, and belittling to others. Now if i'm getting this message all wrong, Please excuse my ramblings, and its a great write. Park |

Never accept belittling from anyone. Your work is of the highest quality and is worthy of respect from all who read it. You always touch our hearts and feelings and to me that is what makes poetry great. Very well written again, dear one. **hugs** Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Back again, Corinne. After reading my response above, I hope that you don't think that I was agreeing with the individual in your poem...far from it. I was only saying that you say how you feel in a very truthful way...and very well. Your poetry is always a delight!! |

Ahh, now, Cor hon, I always felt that one belittles, when they know they will never come close, or surpass the ones they do that too. And, very gentle smile, they will have to walk many a mile to catch up to you, gentle one |

Oh wow. This strikes me straight through. Corinne, you have a such a talent! Everything you write gives the reader such clarity, and sometimes that's not such a pleasant thing. This somehow soothes me, the way it does when anything I feel is formed perfectly into words; as if having it in that tangible form makes it real, valid... justified. Thank you for this; the understanding was quite needed. |

Fantastic expression, Corinne! Smooth as silk! You're definitely one of the better poets that I've read! Don't let anyone make you feel inferior because you're not. |

to be a poet. . . one must understand. . . you, my friend, understand. . . I really like this, your use of the language here is well done, and the flow of it is great. . . ---------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
