I don't care for philosophical discourse, nor what somebody else has said or written about this subject, no matter how wise or saint he or she may be ...
please write from your inner experience ONLY.

This is indeed a very intriguing contest. The entries should be fabulous and interesting. I will need to keep my eyes on this one! Great idea !
-
You are yourself and are hosting this wonderful contest so we can enter
There,does that answer your question?Anyways best of luck with the contest
-
no.
the question is "WHO AM I ?"
and not "who is the host of this contest ?"
-
Okay I am ME and you are you
-
WOW! What a wonderful contest this one is. I'll be really looking forward to reading what people have to say about this question. I will try my best to enter. 4 days is too short a time with such a lot going on at present, but will try for sure.
Hugs,
Charishma

you are so wonderful, gennelle.
-
love you, sweetheart
-
you are so lovely, sandy.

I appreciate your humility, princess.
I shall remove the word "junior" - it was meant as an honour to your unusual talent at such a young age, and not to upset you guys ... sorry if it did.

Wonderful contest and great entries. Keep this up please.

my sweet pixie-fairy, before you woosh again, just a little thank-you hug

Darling
What I love about you French poets is that you see beauty as elemental, transcendental and transparent. I think this is equal to fraternity, equality and liberty. Others struggle to possess or own beauty as you struggle to appreciate and learn from it. That is a whole essay in and of itself. We Pixies fly to the light of beauty since it is so divine and pure. So I say before I whoosh not just smoosh but do a sigh of regret before leaving a beautiful soul whose branding and tan shall go remain intangibly forever. OK, I talk too much. Ciao now.
Janet -
and you know what's the best of it all ?
I am not even french !!!
but I loooooved your deeply philosophical lines of beauty for which I thank you verrrrry much.
aaaand, if you're gonna check out my nationality now, (just in case), just know that I'm not that neither ...
just don't belong anywhere attttt alllll ...
much love to you, most graceful fairy!
(don't they have fairies here in emoticon-land ?)
