I have been keeping a journal, but this is my first poem. I just started Middle School (I am 12 years old) and my friends and I started writing poetry. You should have seen the look on Mom's face when I told her I wanted to post. DREAM (My first post) I CLOSE MY EYES AND DREAM FOR IT’S A DREAM I’LL NEVER GET I DREAM, DREAM, AND DREAM AGAIN BUT STILL I HAVE NOTHING YET THEY SAY A DREAM IS JUST A DREAM UNTIL YOU TRY AND GET IT SO I TRY, TRY, AND TRY AGAIN BUT STILL YOU DON'T SEE HOW TRUE AND DEAR YOU ARE TO ME I DON'T THINK ABOUT A CHANCE WITH YOU FOR IT'S ONE I'LL NEVER GET DON'T YOU SEE IT'S A DREAM THAT I REGRET [This message has been edited by CP (09-28-2003 09:45 AM).] |

You're the daughter of one of this group's most beautiful poets...easy to see that she's passed on the talent to you. It's moving, to read the work of someone as young as you, with this kind of quality. You have a future in poetry, if you choose to pursue it. I'm glad you posted this, and I hope you give us more. |

Hi Chelsea! I journal also and enjoy knowing that there are more people doing the same. I enjoyed reading your poem and I understand at times that it is scary to dream or even hope. So I am sending thoughts your way for your life to enfold in beautiful ways and your dreams to be realized. This is a splendid poem and shows much talent. I'm hoping to see more of your writng very soon and want to tell you that this is one very impressive first post. Welcome to PiP! Shenachie |

Chel, I am so proud of you. I wish Passions was around when I started writing at your age. But the personal computer wasn't even around then...Gosh, I am so old. This is the place where you belong. READ, child, and learn from the greats so that you will grow in your work! I am so proud of you! Mom |

Welcome to Passions! I love your DREAM, very nice first post. It's quite natural that you should be gifted too with a Mom like yours, whose poems we love so very much. Great decision to write poetry! Love, Margherita |

Hi Chelsea! Great first post! My name's Duncan. I'm the resident porch puppy. Sunshine and the others keep me tied up here most the time because I tend to chase cats, cars and other fun stuff when they don't! Hope you like it here and thanks for sharing your poetry with us. |

Dear CP, Don’t ever be afraid to go after any and all such dreams that you so desire. And never ever feel undeserving of such dreams. For in life, as you will soon find out. The only person who can prevent all things wonderful from becoming your reality... is yourself... Welcome to Passions! And give your dear mother a big hug for us, and tell her she did very well! Like all the rest of us, I got a feeling she’ll tell you, you did too! Richy |

excellent writing, very impressive for one your age! keep it up...and you will get better and grow with age and time! Your Mom as I can clearly see she is and should be, is so proud of you...as we all are. I hope to see more from you in the near future. But if you chooses not to continue to post, then keep your journal. That is a good thing, and will help you as you go through life! take care. Amy "love is like a butterfly-- |

Hi Chelsea WELCOME TO PASSIONS IN POETRY I've been waiting for you to get on here!! I know that your Mom is proud of you. I am, too!! This is a wonderful first post. I really do look forward to reading more of your poems. It's really great that you're writing poetry. I kind of knew when your Mom told us that you and your sister were reading some of the poems, that you would be posting soon. You know what else? I like that you wrote a poem about dreams. I love to write about dreams, too. Oh, my name's Ethel. Hugs to you and your Mom (and your sister, too!!) Ethel...... garysgirl |

wonderfully done, young 'un. It's good that you can see that some dreams can lead to regret. Not the kind that you wanna' hang onto. keep up the writing Peace, Joe |

Hi... I remember when I was a little girl..I would be sitting in my room writing everything I felt down on paper. Little did I know it would lead me to this point where just about 2 years ago I started writing. My little girl years was another lifetime ago so that should tell you I'm gettin' old. So I am glad to see you writing so early. Poetry is a beautiful thing. It's an extension of yourself, and a gift given to your spirit within. (you'll know what that means a little later) Your first post was amazing. It captivated me all the way through. I couldn't stop reading. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on embarking on this lierary adventure of your life. Words will get you far in life when used well, and that you did. Words can make you soar! Beautiful!!! Celebrate life!! Best of luck in all your endeavours, SharaRose @-->-- Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer! |

hmmmmm 12 you say? well the insight into dreaming and of regret due to a dream is expressed here in a way that would have someone think you were older than 12.. posting... writing... of the two.. writing is more important, but the posting and the feedback you can get..the assurance that others understand the things you express is comforting at times.... I hope you continue to share with us here...and to write... much to explore with words...and much to learn... for all of us. welcome to PIP.... sorry I missed this and am late with a reply... somedays as they say are diamonds and some days are rust... my mind of late has followed the model of rust... |

Chelsea, I am absolutely thrilled to see you posting here at Passions! I feel as tho' I already know you through the wonderful things you have passed on to me thru' your terrific Mom and Poetess! Your warm comments have been inspiring me to write more poetry with the younger reader in mind. Another thing that I would like to comment on is this, young people like you and your friends getting together to write poetry, fills me with joy! Our world needs more of its youth expressing the soul of a poet. Wars would cease, people loving people, more honoring of nature, spiritual growth and harmony. God bless you and your friends. It is people like you who will make this world a better place. Have fun with your writing and I look forward to reading your words, Dear Chelsea! I enjoyed your very first posted poem!--and it is copyrighted! ~ It appears that the plum didn't fall far from the Poet Tree! Loving hugs! & congrats on taking the plunge! Earth Angel |
