In high school I would write my heart and of those who ripped it apart I was a sad and thoughtful girl unsure of my place in this word. I wrote and wrote but no one cared in truth I was afraid to share then once I did, and was put down it took me years to come around. I wrote alone, I wrote of love none would know what I was made of pages lay crumpled in my room I wrote to rise above my gloom. Twas many years that this went on until the coming of my dawn a friend sent me a poem from here I read and read, cried many tears. One day I dared to post my own and it was then that I came home with open arms you welcomed me I bared my soul for all to see. It's been two years, I'll never go a monster you have made, you know.  Love you all[This message has been edited by catalinamoon (07-12-2002 08:59 PM).] |

smiling at you from over here--I used to burn everything I wrote, so I understand the emily dickinson urge to hide everything away (I just tend to be extreme--just a LITTLE )I'm so glad I found this place and all of my wonderful sisters here...Hugs, Miss Sandra. |

Sandra, Half of my high school experience was like yours. My writing then was not poetry. And barely passes for that now. But I can relate. Being a "fraidy cat" I gotta say you're my favorite monster.  Nice write.Show you care to those you love...today. |

If YOU are a monster, then the rest of us are the toe jam between Godzilla's toes. LOL No, you are not a monster, but instead an angel of gift and your gift of poetry has grown much since you came here and we have grown from knowing you. |

There is an underlying thread that I have seen in poets, especially, and sometimes artists in general...they don't fit in the "real world..." but they fit uncommonly well in the land of the muse...for they not only see, and hear, but they translate, by color, or word, as well...we may not be right, but we are always trying... |

Hello Sandra Such a wonderful insight as to how you came here. I feel honoured to call you a friend and always look forward to reading your work. "I wrote alone, I wrote of love" I could so relate to these words. Take care.....Sue I am in motion |

Dear Sandra, I am glad that you came to be with us all, now addicted to the passion of words and sharing. Sincerely Rick I wrote of love, I wrote of tears I wrote so much throughout the years I lay my heart where all could see Until I felt that I was free |
