In all your work, it has never taken me fifteen minutes to realize your fame. No need to wait any longer!  |

Hello sweet Sue... have missed you. and I'm smiling here. Be careful what you wish for, lovie. (Will the real Slim Shady, please stand up?)  But honestly? The idea of fame horrifes me. You can have MY fifteen minutes, and a glad gift I'd make of it too!  |

Sue- I USED to like your writing until you did that thing with the blackboard. lol I have to agree with everyone else that Si Andrew was wrong... you've gotten more than your 15 here. Great job. Day after day I'm more confused, |

Echoing the voices, hear .... .... "that's what we are talking about"!!! Definition of FAME: widespread reputation, esp. of a favorable character, renown. To the voices who follow your words, you ARE that, and more. Have a great day Sue!!  |

well... if nobody said this before, I would say it now: "Fame is its owner's companion and yet the biggest trap" well... I didn't say it all, or maybe all too correctly... but then hey, when I am famous, I will make sure you are too... well, jokes apart hi sue, this is a nice written thought... love how you use miniumum words to maximum effect... s-c-r-e-e-c-h and its extended sound for instance ... regards, sudhir |

*LAUGH* Warhol! Now THERE'S a story! Don't worry about 15 minutes. Of course that advice is coming from a person who rarely wears a watch. |

Could we be tainted by fame? Displayed on the cover of Time? Would a poets' major league Provide prime time intrigue? Could we have a playoff season To foster rhyme and reason? Or get money to wear shoes for the poets we peruse? YES, YES, YES!! Make us an offer we can't refuse!!

(big hugggsssssss) It's alright, dearest friend, I've never really believed in his philosophy anyway, just because there are fifteen minutes doesn't mean they have to be used up all at once, heck, the way you're moving, not a second has gone by yet! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |
