    wow, I am sad that you are leaving! I have written for several of your contests and remember what a good time we had with those Byron quotes.
  • I will miss you SOOOOOO much! Well, you're writing anyway, since I have your e-mail.

    I just can't believe your talent won't be displayed here any more. I have always thought of myself as a dabbler of poetry as a hobby, but you I truly see as an artist. People PAY to see artists, but not a hobbyist! I hope you will leave all of your work for it to be viewed. One day, I would like to visit and read the many things I have missed. Will talk to you soon even if it's not here. Always take care of yourself and know that you're loved more than you can ever know. I should know since I'm your STALKER!

    OMGosh!!!!! I just went to your page and it's like a digital black hole where nothing gets in and nothing gets out. It seems so fatal! It's like me thinking of making my funeral arrangements the past couple of days so no one will have to stress or make a fuss when I'm gone. It does hit home. I do need to staay in touch more often as I do several other of my friends while I still have the chance to do so. Peace and love always

    This seems so fitting as we have just had a death in our family within the past few days. Going through their things and dealing with all that comes along with that makes it seem like this is a season of goodbyes. You know that I will pen the best I can conjure for you. It is the least I can do for all the encouragement you've given me. I only really began believing in myself as a poet because you first believed in me. I cherish and take all of your words to heart. You are and will be loved and missed.
