There is also that side of words which when spoken to the wrong ears can cause irreversible damage. In poetry though, the written word can be awe inspiring.

Excellent summation, Lady LaBelle. I believe this wholeheartily, that's why WE are so important to this world, we are a special breed of people! That's why we can never stop writing. the world needs us to for the world we weave. Thank you, Dear Lady!

Thanks, Belle... After reading this, I finally realize what my problem has been all these years:

I say the same things in "real time" as I do in my poems. NOW YOU TELL ME! I was supposed to save my REAL ideals for my poetry.

Oh well... Guess I'm stuck with that old saying: What you see it what you get.

I truly enjoy your "quotes" as they always bring out something unique.. and in this case, altho not unique..we realize that is one of the beauties of poetry...we as writers can say whatever we feel from within, and it becomes "art"...often for us...it's actually "therapy"...:)) great job. lindalaw
