"Don’t say all I have going for me is my innocence In the end we’re all broken souls I was just too fragile I have become sad and lonely and the coldness I feel causes me to shake Why? Even in the spring I feel winter..." * * * as written by Juju, posted here: /pip/Forum94/HTML/003118.html * * * serenity's reply "Innocence as quality is only recognized as past if you see it in yourself I suggest you look again you'll find that it has gone and then, begins the tempering within like the layers of your skin one is not enough to hold the sins of birth and fleshly whims as the ravages of time are seasons of rememberings forget regret for blemishes it's just a map of where we've been and scars are stars that guide us home where endings just begin again..." * * * * * |

thank you juju. I am so pleased you liked my reply. I have always felt a connection to you, and I was delighted that your poem happened to be the one I chose--I could relate to your words and when I saw that yours was my number 29? I felt like I won a poetic lottery! Sadly, though, I am not feeling quite welcome here, so my participation may not be as it once was. "Oh come let's run from this ring we're in where the Christians claps and the Germans grin..." Joni Mitchell Court and Spark not saying I'm leaving, I've made some lovely friends here, but I can't say I want to stay either. disparity but if if this is the last poem I post at Pip, I'm happy that it is one that included you, and one that I happened to enjoy writing. Peace to all. Most of you have been exceptionally kind to me.  I'll never forget it. |

Serenity, this is a proud and humble response to juju's poem. I'm glad you found hers to respond to, as well. Excellent challenge...excellent poetry.  |

Sometimes a bad experience, goes unnoticed, but the poem tells juju's lost innnocense. I think its better if it were back like before without the loss of innocense. Loss of innocense is from stress and its not a good thing to falsely believe that you are doing yourself favors. Deep introspection is needed to rid yourself of the experience. |

If innocense is lost to love than it is good. |

Juju? You are more lovely inside than out--and you are indeed a very beautiful young woman with an incredible future ahead of you. I'll be around, lovie. I just have other things I need to concentrate on right now.  I thought your poem was beautiful too. In fact, you expressed very aptly what I'm feeling right now. So it worked out kinda cool, I thought.  thanks angel |
