Thank You, Moderators My eyes have seen the spiral daze Within a moderator’s maze The time consumed behind the mask In dedication to a task But how the hallways twist and turn As midnight’s candle slowly burns Until the final verse is read And spinning phrases put to bed The love of thought put into words That til this moment were unheard The lyric quality of song The open hearts of weak and strong Have lured this one to volunteer As guardian angel, overseer To place upon the scale of trust Where intuition is the just To draw delineated space Into a strange aesthetic place To praise the worthy, lift the new Into the skies of heaven’s blue Inspiring mind to higher height Encouraging the pen to write And pulling tight each stitch of twine Into the weaves that hold and bind A family of poetry, The muses’ treasured words set free Into the eyes of those who give Their time, that poetry may live Elizabeth Santos 12/1/2002 [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (12-01-2002 01:57 PM).] |

You know one of the nicest things about being a Moderator, Liz? One leans in a little farther, and lives a little longer, in the world of poetry... ah, a reader's life. Well, someone's got to do it!  |

 (smiles) Yay!!! Oh Elizabeth, I agree so much with what Karilea said, I believe if you truly become a moderator here, you will never leave as you have found a deep love for Passions that seduces you on and on! (kiss on cheek) I am so happy to be a Moderator too, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Elizabeth, I have a lot of respect for all of you moderators..... the ones who do it all the time and the ones who volunteer occassionally. I'm thinking very seriously about volunteering, because I know that it's got to be a very time consuming job and takes everyone working together. I know that all of you moderators love poetry and also love this wonderful place that all of us here call our "home on pages of blue". I also really appreciate Ron for allowing us to be a part of this "family of friends" here at PIP. THANKS TO YOU ALL "Love makes the world go around" ~~with love and hugs from Ethel~~ [This message has been edited by garysgirl (12-01-2002 04:58 PM).] |

The forums don't run smoothly by themselves. Without Ron at the helm and all the moderators, it would be self destructive. You can't help but appreciate the efforts of our modeators, who are dedicated to friendships, to poetry, and most of whom are all in themselves polished poets. From Nan, Balladeer, Marti, Denise, Sunshine, and all of those who were here when I came on board, I learned so much about writing. The moderators on the teen forum are influencing poets from an early age to keep writing and their talents amaze me. THank you again, moderators for caring enough to keep us writing throu good times and bad. You light the world of poetry for many. A huge moderator embrace Denise, Ph..PH..Ph..Philadelphia? F...F...F...F...Free? P...P...P...P...Parking? WOW! An uplifting thought! I would need to have my daughter drive me. My schedule is heavy til Christmas, but I'll see what I can do Great idea!!!!
