Hi. Just saying
Hi.
off the boy goes to college today....
-
It has been forever, but I thought of you and dropped by to say hello, give my love to Bear too. I am good, immersed in photography lately, among all the other life demands, and walks along the seashore. Who knows where the wind will blow next. Hoping to not burn up in some fire. I miss you and your observant eye. mwah, kat

I love Victor Hugo... I read his Les Miserables, and practically memorized the whole thing, and quote him at everyone

You've changed your name so many times I have lost track of who is who. I just wanted to say, I'm glad you're still alive
and tell you I am too.

Mad as the mist and snow
Bolt and bar the shutter,
For the foul winds blow:
Our minds are at their best this night,
And I seem to know
That everything outside us is
Mad as the mist and snow.
Horace there by Homer stands,
Plato stands below,
And here is Tully's open page.
How many years ago
Were you and I unlettered lads
Mad as the mist and snow?
You ask what makes me sigh, old friend,
What makes me shudder so?
I shudder and I sigh to think
That even Cicero
And many-minded Homer were
Mad as the mist and snow.
Merry Christmas you one of my favorite people.
xo

Congratulations are you very LARGE accomplishment.

At the end of the whole thing I have come to realize that my 'novel' is the beginning of two different stories. I am happy that I did it, though.
Moving ahead it will be easier to make both stories flesh out beyond where they are at now. There won't be a time restraint and deadline making me rush the words. I'll have time to think about each detail that I left out with this rough draft.
I am so glad you and zara encouraged me to do this  And I bet you have a pretty good story, actually. You never give yourself enough credit.
 (we do have to celebrate)

so how many words are you up to?
this many /...../ ?
or
this many /...................................../?

Good luck, do we get to see the results?

"Spring is always lovely at Murton, with the hedges foaming with blossom and wild flowers tucked away on the banks of the streams, not to mention the lambs and chicks,"--
i am happy i finally figured out where i could read you. Never saw your link thingy till now... i dont know why but i guess things happen for a reason and maybe i wasnt supposed to until now. anyway, nuf babblin'.
i took your words and put them here... i hope that was ok. I loved foaming hedges with flowers tucked... that image... with the sounds of lambs and chicks... You took me someplace beautiful and special this morning and i adored it.

on 11th of July
you forget the fresh smell of satisfaction]
from something grew out of your own hands
the huge effect of new
even if it was a small band of travelling actors
the expressive power of a play
sure very few had access to what is considered education
even fewer were aware enough to think with their own heads
but you don't see that happening today either...
so talking about the careless sensuality of life
the ability to see the sky at night without distant city noises or the dimming of electric grabage light... I think they had a gain
nothing really changed much except the comfort that came with along with a diversity of stress factors and informational pollution
so we can be (are?) a little more (dis)informed
and (we think) we're smarter
but really?

And here I thought the quote was "your sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink"

-
don't know if I remember linear actions from when I was 2 years old
maybe photographic flashes
the shape of a shadow on the ceiling resembling a crocodile, a dim light, stuff like this
not that I don't think yours are metaphors but who knows...
-
Odd, I thought there was a poem here that I wanted to finally comment on.
I guess there is not such thing.
-
i never got a real chance to thank you for the silver membership for the month.
i do not take such things lightly my darling. i will promote you and make sure your generous gesture is known on this large and hard website.
thank you so much sweetheart.

Hello.  Just wanted to know who the bloke is in your forum picture. He looks like an old sailor.

I have little to offer beyond this  and a
I hope things are well in Stef's world.

Stef,
Thank you so much for contributing to our first issue of Burst.
Because of you, things are a bit more beautiful

I can't decide but I think I might narrow it down to Rising Sap and Defining Things
would either of those be okay?

Suzanne Dia : On the importance of self confidence... on February 27, 2008
You mentioned yesterday that it is not my place (not verbatim) to judge who can and cannot write, and that includes judging my own writing.
I want to thank you for that. I need the reminder sometimes. A lot of people around here enjoy my writing (whether for personal or technical reasons,) and I really don't mean to sound as if I am putting myself down. I just would rather be modest than cocky in any situation. It can be misinterpreted, though.
I find writing is the only way to unknot the thoughts in my head, and writing like this is even more important for that. I think I need to break my cycle of 'brief' poetry and just write my mind out for a while.
But mostly I just wanted to thank you for making me stop and think about how I judge my own writing.

I've always wanted to design my room with a huge bed that has a mosquito net around it, even though I don't need it. I want a regal and silly room all at the same time.
I'm gonna have to start researching DIY!
It helps, right?

-

I KNOW you have a smexy valentine.
-
I thought of throwing roses at you, but what is the use if they wilt and die?
So I thought ..maybe I'll leave you a beer, but they go warm and flat, and that won't do either.
I thought..ok, how about just a present ..
so here:
whatever you may be wishing for right now is wrapped neatly in pixels just for you.

-
Yes, only two of me showed up today the rest of me are out running amuck.
-
Hello.
It is me.
-
Hello.
It is me.
-
Your words are back here. I'm glad.
I hope you are smiling, Stef.

I am missing your words.

dericlee : Awright now! on January 21, 2008
This isn't funny! I even searched for all your prior identities (that I can remember, anyway) and all I get is redirected to this damn page...where there is none of the poetry I loved to read over and over (even if I don't usually comment on it.)
What? Did we piss you off or sump'n?!
I'm distressed, Stef...very put out!
-
where have all the beautiful words gone again?
it is raining here and i thought i would cheer myself up ...
elaine 
-
I'm glad I found you at blogspot...I would really miss your words if I hadn't.
-
peut-etre, ou peut-etre ca fait tous
(my French stinks, je m'excuse)
Loved your eloquence in the boards.
Just so ya know.
-
Who's that in the new avatar?
-
You're back.
So I'll come and tag your page again.
Did you know it's illegal to own a ferret in NYC? Pretty ridiculous if you ask me ...bloody republicans.
Um anyway
Glad you're back
