My postings here are as much to revel in the release with others as to help me cull and hone.

thinking of you.

i woke up thinking about you..

Dear Jane,
I'm not sure if you still log on here, but I figured I'd try anyway. It has been so long...I know. But I wanted to know how you are doing. What are you up to these days? Do you still volunteer At the SPCA?
I got my poetry published in an anthology this year. It was really wonderful to finally have something of mine in a book in front of me. So many things have happened! I'm graduating college this year, and I'm still engaged. (Three years in counting)
I just wanted to stop by and say thank you for everything when I was growing up. It was a really tough time...and I would never gotten anything published if it weren't for you. I hope you can come to my graduation, or even my wedding. (Whenever it is.)
Love,
Ayla

Ain't that the truth.  
Hi you.

Jo,
Actually it is still there. It just took a step backwards when I dropped to lowly freebie status and the new AP went into its first trial. I'm hoping to have it back soon.
hugs for noticing.
Jane
-
Gal,
Back 'er up, gal. We've got plenty of visiting to do. Forget the glasses. Let's just run a line out to the fire by the pond.
Love it!
-
Jane, did the little emoticon/icon-story that Gal had written for you disappear from your page?  I loved that little story and it actually inspired the lastest contest I posted on AP for emoticon-poetry. I used to love to return to your page even if just to read that story of yours again and again!
Hope all has been going well for you...

Lizzie met her at the gate
Full of wise upbraidings:
"Dear, you should not stay so late,
Twilight is not good for maidens;
Should not loiter in the glen
In the haunts of goblin men.
Do you not remember Jeanie,
How she met them in the moonlight,
Took their gifts both choice and many,
Ate their fruits and wore their flowers
Plucked from bowers
Where summer ripens at all hours?
But ever in the moonlight
She pined and pined away;
Sought them by night and day,
Found them no more, but dwindled and grew gray;
Then fell with the first snow,
While to this day no grass will grow
Where she lies low:
I planted daisies there a year ago
That never blow.
You should not loiter so."
"Nay hush," said Laura.
"Nay hush, my sister:
I ate and ate my fill,
Yet my mouth waters still;
To-morrow night I will
Buy more," and kissed her.
"Have done with sorrow;
I'll bring you plums to-morrow
Fresh on their mother twigs,
Cherries worth getting;
You cannot think what figs
My teeth have met in,
What melons, icy-cold
Piled on a dish of gold
Too huge for me to hold,
What peaches with a velvet nap,
Pellucid grapes without one seed:
Odorous indeed must be the mead
Whereon they grow, and pure the wave they drink,
With lilies at the brink,
And sugar-sweet their sap."
Happpy Hallloooowwwweeeeeeeennnnn.

you made it back.

How do you make all the little smiley things up there? ^^^

Jane, you have made my day! I am so enjoying co-hosting a contest with someone. I do appreciate everyone's efforts and all the hard work. But you are so thoughtful to take notice. Thank you for being such a wonderful Winkling yourself.  Belle
-
Actually Belle, I was applauding your comment, not only on his poem but for all the comments you have made during your judging of this contest. You are supportive as well as instructive and THAT I believe is what truly makes someone a Winkling.
I commended your efforts in this contest to Ron. You certainly have been a great asset to him and our group in his time of need.
You make me proud to be a fellow member.
Jane
-
Hi, thank you for your applause with Poet Pastiche's poem. I was thinking he applauded it and then realized it was you! LOL You should have entered being a Winkling and all. Perhaps next time, right?  Huggies  Belle

Checking in on you -- its August. It's glorious. The company has left -- the sky is clear and its going to be a cool 55 tonight. Lately the air is so marine I stick out my tongue to taste it.
A hummingbird was into the last of the hostas yesterday and the butterflies are crazy! How are you?

Hi Jane! Remember my contest idea for the free Gold Promotion thing? Seems Sharcu had the same idea and jumped the gun on me before the free Gold Promo. He's running separate contests for bronze/silver and for gold members and I'm thinking you're gold, so here's a link for that contest:
allpoetry.com/Contest/2160768
I've always loved your Writer's Page...Especially that little emoticon story Gal had put together for you, and if you don't know how to do the HTML thing as I didn't to make an entry, the contest-leader is really great and will help you along! I LOVE THIS PAGE, but you know that!

hi, that story on your author page was awesome.
-
hey there..my name is jess..wats up...i like your style in poetry! awesome job!
-
thanks for stopping by my page with your sweet note, Jane. You have to know I love coming to your page just to read the post that Galfalfa had left you posted here! It's just fun to read it each and every time!
I wanted to let you know I opened up the contest for multiple entries--three maximum. It seemed there was problem posting in Plain Mode when entries were going back and forth between their contest post to their poem to gather the copy/pastes and then a link, but Steve Morris here told me that they first had to post it in Notepad and then copy/paste as an entry to the contest in Plain Mode. just so you're aware!
have fun...and it was fun talking with you this morning. between you and Michelle, I never stop laughing!

I have always had trouble understanding cheating at some level. In the case of our “adult” who cheats, I believe I have a motive and the consequence. I think this person wants status in the group
without merit. The problem with this is; this sort of cheating produces great suffering for the person doing the cheating. This builds on the conscience, even if the person outwardly continues the behavior. This robs the person of real personal growth, which is what I think I want from this site. I like my words, how they sound in my head and the way they make me feel, I like sharing and getting new ideas, running other peoples thoughts through my subconscious “cut up machine.” I like the idea that other people might find one of my thoughts useful. I don’t understand someone who robs themselves of such pleasure by knowingly steeling someone else’s words. I believe that you and I are much happier than this person.

 ROFLMAO  Jane, your story on this page is hilarious! I've never seen so many emoticons, and most of them are highly unusual. It's a cute story, too. It's been nice meeting you. I'm sure we will talk again. Best wishes, Toni 
-
great poem indeed. The power within it is immense.
Nope, not familiar with Sri Aurobindo, but on your recommendation, I shall take a stab though. I always read with interest that which stirs the passions of others. Thank you for leading me to something new in an old soul way.

To: OneLuckyGirl
Read with interest your thoughts as posted on the web-site. You mention May Sarton...you must know "Invocation to Kali"? It is very great poem indeed...Have you read any Sri Aurobindo? His very long poem, "Savitri" is in the category which few works of art actually reach: masterpiece...it considers every facet of human & spiritual experience (or at least others who have read the whole piece conclude). I actually do not have sufficent good karma or enough good brain-stuff to comprehend Sri Aurobindo in all his complexity and genius, but just reading the first few cantos of this poem is enough to convince me that he was a very great soul (mahatma...mahagreat, atmasoul) incarnated on this earth for helping humankind evolve to greater heights, far beyond the conflict, wars and natural disasters through which the poor, tortured mother earth is going in our times. These are exceptional times we live in...well, I'll get off my soap box and just say it's a joy to be able to participate on this Allpoetry web-sites. "Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of mankind." John Keats
Peace, "Rain on You"

Thank you for pointing out the use of my wording, in my teaching job I am used to this sort of thing. Language is strange and it floats around in our heads, so I think often small bits of plagiarism are accidents, the larger the chunk of words the more suspect. It would be hard for someone to create a page by accident, the laws of probability come into play, however in this case it is a bit strange that the words were only a sentence, a few comments after my own comment. Sorry that this person created anguish, I do not know how to address problems like this, perhaps we need some research on the psychology of plagiarism. It would be interesting to know what Carl Jung or Stanislov Groff have to say about this issue. The motivation for action rests in the “spirit” of the unconscious and all too often we are not aware of our real intent, until someone points it out. Thanks again for being kind enough to look out for me.

Hey, I like this. I love any thing that brings us home to the earth. There is no beauty in human form which can surpass a simple stone, at best equivalence. This poem speaks of beauty, stones are not mountains but weathered pieces, yet always part of the mountain, the mountain only a stone on earth, the earth a stone in heaven, what a great poem, you made me think so much. Nothing is of greater value to me.

What you call a tirade, I call standing up for the ethics of this site and the value of honest feedback. To steal another's words is not flattery; it is plagiarism, plain and simple.
