I want to find the one he read where he felt the liquid smooth, where some one thing I skimmed in thought could get him in that groove…. I wish to learn just how to be like the others that I read, where “liquid smooth” is their forte, and silver rims their keys… I love to find those poets here that trickle down their thoughts, where love is love and laughter's fine with words that can’t be bought. For were I to find pearled wisdom shelled, whether smooth dark black or pearly white, I’d give it to the poets whose fountains spill this love for sake of write… I want to find the one she read where she felt the liquid smooth, where some one thing I dreamed in thought could get her in that groove… and then I’d cache well this feel, this silk gone satin stream, and lay it there beside your head amid your night limned dreams then in briefest break of day with soft touch to your throat, the muse would then awaken well, and pen those words dreams wrought.

This tells me that we all press to make our writing "better", even when we're not sure what better is, but that we want the flow of syllables, alliteration, verb choice, meter and foot to be "right" to convert our thoughts and moods to words. (The pedantic meter must be redlined!!) Such a lovely expression of poetry's purpose. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Karilea, A wonderful write. But you don't want to hear my dreams in poetry or prose. Your generous heart shines through again. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

You folks are the best. This wouldn't be here if I had not been cajoled [and a bit wing-beaten] and that you have all come to vote, is a blessing that cannot be repaid. You sure all bring the "aw, shucks" out... bless you all! Karilea - If I whisper, will you listen?... |

When all you want is words that flow Liquid smooth's the way to go When Erato passes by ? Liquid smooth gives you a high. Sunshine has the technique cold Liquid smooth will ne'er grow old I'm so glad you submitted this. But you've given me such a quandry. Which of your poems do I like best. Count a vote here!!

Well you already know how much I have always enjoyed your writing and this one is no exception. It is a perfect selection for the book also as it gives insight to the thoughts of writers but it also pays a wonderful tribute to all of us that hold a desire to pen our feelings, thoughts, dreams, etc ... you get the point. Very much enjoyed and so glad to read your words as I always come out a with a little more understanding. |

The imagery in this beautiful piece is expressed in sharp,sensuous, concrete language. You have chosen language through the use of what my English professor used to describe as words that bear with them strong emotional overtones for all lovers of poetry and, in particular, for those who aspire to the title of *poet*.This is truly a poet's poem and a delight to read and reflect on. I am proud to be able (I hope) to vote it into the anthology. Patrick Talty |

Voting's about over, folks. I don't know if there will be a round five, but I can guarantee, if you come back to read this, you'll know I haven't submitted another [I can hear the cheers!] for I'm quadruply pleased to know that I have what I have in Reflections. Some of you are moths, some of you are angels, some of you are poets who have it in your hearts to see other poets get a leg up. I have a good feeling about what you have all done for me. I have a small novel in the works...some of you have seen bits and parts when I was first putting it in the Prose forum...but folks, it's taking on a life of its own...and it's all because of you that I have grown to the point where I am now beginning to think "it can happen" and you know what? If it doesn't...? You'll all know it hasn't been because I haven't tried. If I were to begin to thank folks...I would have to thank you ALL! So I shall begin, and end, with one. Ron, thank you. For giving me a place to find myself; a place for me to grow...a place to say...thank you...to you, and all of our "family" in Passions. Family usually comes by blood ~ we don't get to pick them; you give us that second family; where we can pick to stay, or go; learn, or lose; share, and educate.... Ron, I know what I've done with this wonderful home of yours; I only hope you know what you have done for the thousands of us who have come, and gone, come, and stayed. Until I can find a way to better pay? Thank you. |
