I suddenly had an urge
to go into a stationery store,
buy a box of thank you cards
and send one to every past love
who let me move onward.

LONG LIST
-
sums it up..
-
-
-
just remembered this
-
lol only you!!!! This was very good You are like a grape ready to burst with passion fruit
-
before the store moved...
a box worth and a whole lot of envelope lickin'... stamps are clever but those stationary stores are sure enticing when they're not moving around, aren't they...i liked it. fluent thought...
-
wow. gorgeous, how it winds itself indirectly to such a punchline, so much said in the unspoken. clever, sharp, sweet. absolutely perfect.
-
awww...this is a cute poem...although it was only in a few words, it expresses a lot of emotion...jeje
i really like it...♥♥♥♥ -
Oh, Tara, this is marvelous. Totally captivating and so very perfectly expressed. I am so glad this was featured, otherwise I may have missed it.
There is such hope in these beautiful lines. Hope that every shed tear is for a purpose, bottled up, and reserved to be poured as wine for that ONE to drink--that he may know us in fullness. Each person who touches us, for good or for bad, touches us and makes us become more ourselves. So wonderful, in hindsight, to not be tangled up when something better comes a long.
Excellent poetry, gal!

this is brilliantly done.
-
Woah...that blew me away! Short and striking and beautiful.
-
Wow that is very meaningful and strikingly beautiful. I love this. It strikes right at home. It's so short, sweet and straight to the point. I can see why it's in the spotlight. It's gorgeous!!
Ahh and how we find so many ways to forget those of the past. So many thank you's to move foreward. A brief little story to a time less traveled.
Thank you it was wonderful!

lol... did u really? It's sweet... I did so once but on normal paper though for the same reason!
-
I'm afraid ...
that I've run out of superlatives, so I'll just say that this is a good job and let it go at that.
-
this is a definite twist on the same old theme.
I was just thinking about this very subject recently!
-
damn...
this is freakin' BRILLIANT girl!
LOL!
I love this write...your mind works with such an elegant edge...
you rock!
Blessings! Tammy

-
and thank you
-
-
Wow!! Excellent! Gosh yes... I'd like to do that too! And also put in it *sucker!!* .. lol..
Says a lot in a few words!
-
BANG BANG! I completely love this, and everything it is indicative of. That although love can be painful, when you get through the other side of that it makes you more appreciative. I am thankful to my past loves also - they have given me more than they know.
Fabulous poetry
-
You should tell me the name of that stationary store - I want to buy some "thank you" cards too!!!
-
-
Oh this was really lovely!! This made me smile. Loved this one.
-
Had to read this twice before it sank in. I have a box of thank you cards somewhere, just don't use them.

the first time i felt my baby move i thought, i wish i could send you a thank you card. thank you for being here. thank you for being mine. we do not use thank you cards in the correct manner at all. the things i am truly grateful for always go unsaid.
-
I love this. Succinct and so easy to relate to. Wonderful penning!
-
Great
That's a very good write, I like it very much. You got a good ability when it comes to writing. Keep it up! -
Wonderful poetry - just loved this one!!
So short, but so very deep and meaningful.
Gorgeous! One of your best I think

Ohhh wow. This is gold for sure. Can I take this poem and put it in a card? I'll put your name down there, and tell him that this is a very famous and talented poetess.
This is too beautiful
-
This is sweet and very insightful. Love your new pic!
-
this put a big smile on my face...well done...nice pic.

Yes, those who are the healthiest also promote the most healthy mind and with each a lesson is learned - not only about who you do/don't want in your life but also about who you truly are deep inside. I've learned some valuable things about myself through the enrichment of others.

from head to toe.
This is beautiful.
-
i just love this
-
once i wrote something like 'nothing is really that bad in life, even a kick in the ass push you forward'
When the bad becomes the best, you show that so well with your words. happy to see you getting a better chance:
-
you are there, Tara ... this is poetry
your work is becoming unrelentingly powerful
I am proud I know you

Yes, life is funny like that, and sometimes relationships are actually stepping stones to sweeter destinations. Very sweet Tara.
Love and peace always,
Your next door neighbor mj.
-
a smiling poem here, and the cards would be good to bring smiles to others as well as yourself. a nice gesture poem
-
now i'm very very very curious who has stirred our Tara so, and made her put away all boxes ...
- ahem - just nosey..
lololol
very nice plumery too
-
Hi Tara,
This is good - I want more!!!! haha!
-
well. a box. a rectangular collection of idiot pulp. a fitting symbol of departed loves--some dear, some not, but all their loss. -papyrusfish
-
Wow, that is so very very sweet. Short, but it says more than a ovel could have. You don't need to tell - I find it obvious. And nice. Thank you for your entry.
