 Writing feelings from the depth of heart she tries to describe her thoughts Sometimes writing of pain embedded deep within Writing so that maybe some healing will come for the scars of heart aches Most times she writes of the happiness she feels with the love of her life of the stars and moon the velvet skies moonlit nights whispers of love from the breeze She tells of the true love they have found wanting others to share in the feelings of her joy One day she happened upon a place where she could share her thoughts feelings of her heart She knew when she first came even before joining this group of writers that her writing was so little compared to the talents she found on these pages so little, except that it did come from her heart She then decided to write her heart on these pages and to her amazement these talents these giants among writers accepted her and called these writes from her heart poetry These caring people have supported her encouraged her have given to her their love and friendship from their hearts Still some days she wonders if these writings from her heart really do belong here amongst all these giants all these real writers of real poetry revisited for all who think their writing isn't as good as others [This message has been edited by garysgirl (09-07-2003 09:02 PM).] |

I know exactly how you feel. It can be somewhat intimitating at times--but I can assure you, sweet poetess, you DO have a place among the giants. I as a reader, thoroughly enjoy the songs from your heart--and they are songs to me, for they flow directly into my heart and fill up my soul. Never leave the land of the giants--for you are among your peers and kindred spirits.  Loves and appreciative hugs, Linda |

Oh Ethel, you just have to KNOW that you have a place, a very special place, here...I know these feelings, too, but also know that the only way I am ever going to hone my skill is to throw it out there, and the Giants at Passions are gentle giants!! In my eyes, you're right up there, especially after reading this one...~S~ Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |

Ethel...we all sing songs from the heart..the words may be different, and the rhythm, but the place of origin and the intent are what makes a poem special...like this one.  |

Your poetry is very special, so don't forget that you always touch someones heart. I don't get to Passion's as often as I would like these days, but you alway touch me with your heartfelt poems! Hugs, Deb |

Listen Kiddo, I am only 6 ft and an inch or so....so I don't qualify as a giant... Ohhhh, you were talking about poets? (I knew that) ... Ethel, your heart makes you so very tall, for it takes great courage to write from the heart and to continue to do so. Please never stop. |

Oh my, Ethel, this is a masterpiece. And how well I can relate! It can be very intimidating here, as well as loving and welcoming. I think there are many of us who relate and are frightened by the 'giants.' But if we hold hands and support each other, we can be little giants and who knows, one day we may be the giants! 'Writing so that maybe some healing will come for the scars of heart aches' What a wonderful line and please continue to write and the healing will come. Love ya lots ... hugs, Marti Hear Blessings dropping their blossoms all around you. |

ethel. you have honed your own style and grow along with it, and that is your own gift, because you do touch others, and that's what counts much of the time, but i do confess, i would like to see ethel do dark..........  |

(chuckling)... I'm always wondering if I'll get squished in here... one of them giants step on me or something and I'd be flatter than a bug run over by a steam roller. you have heart ethel..and you have sincerity in the words you share... both are key elements in writing anything... don't sell yourself too short my friend. |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Ethel, believe me, you do belong with us all because I believe every poet who writes with honesty and heart is the best poet of all, and you are one of the most honest poets I know! (kiss on cheek) I myself was shy when I first joined Passions less than three years ago, and to be honest, it took so much longer for me to get accepted than most poets here. It took me an entire year to get noticed. Never did I give up, but I truly felt I was unworthy and felt small compared to the others here and I felt a little unloved to be honest. Then, when a poet picked on me and harrassed me publicly (I will not mention her name) I wanted to leave and I was crying for so long, but then when I left a message saying I was going to leave that Christmas of 2001, one year after I joined, so many poets sent me e-mails, comments, and E-cards begging me not to and that it was wrong for that poet to harrass me like that and the proper thing would be for her to e-mail me privately! THAT was when I knew many cared for me at Passions and why I still am here, because of her harrassing me, only made me stronger! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, you do belong and you are loved by all of us, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
