GEORGE, HERE'S ANOTHER 'DARE'. PLEASE...DON'T YOU EVER 'DARE' STOP WRITING AND POSTING HERE ON AD! WE LOVE YOU AND YOUR WORK! BUT PERHAPS, SOME OF YOUR READERS ARE LIKE ME...THEY'VE GOTTEN OLDER AND THEY DON'T VISIT THE DEN AS OFTEN AS THEY ONCE DID. AND BECAUSE OF THIS THERE'S A 'SPACE' BETWEEN REVIEWS THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DIMINISHING OF THE QUALITY, ENJOYMENT AND VALUE OF YOUR WORK. YOU CAME AND, INDEED, WAS HERE A LONG TIME BEFORE I ARRIVED AND, JUST TO THINK OF YOU LEAVING US MAKES ME KNOW THAT I WOULD MISS YOUR VOICE TERRIBLY(WE DO COME FROM THE SAME ERA, YOU KNOW- SMILE.)BUT I KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT 'TRY' TO PUT DOWN THE PEN...IT WOULD NOT BE VERY LONG BEFORE YOU PICKED IT BACK UP AGAIN. BECAUSE, A POET IS A POET AND YOU WILL ALWAYS 'NEED' TO WRITE. SO WHETHER YOU GET A LOT OF REVIEWS, OR A FEW, OR NONE...PRESS ON, MY FRIEND...PRESS ON! ONLY GOD KNOWS WHO YOU ARE TOUCHING IN THE SPECIAL WAY THAT YOU DO BECAUSE REMEMBER, ALL READERS DON'T LEAVE REVIEWS AND YOU'LL NEVER KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU INSPIRED AND ENCOURAGED...UNTIL JESUS REVEALS THIS TO YOU FACE TO FACE! THANKS FOR THIS SHARING, GEORGE, AND FOR ALL THE SHARINGS THAT I HAVE READ AND HAVE ENJOYED SO MUCH! AND I DO LOOK FORWARD TO READING MUCH MORE WORK FROM YOU. BLESSINGS AND AN ABUNDANCE OF FAITH(PRESSED DOWN, SHAKEN TOGETHER AND RUNNING OVER)TO YOU! JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

So sorry you missed your (train, boat, plane?), but glad you are still here posting your latest thoughts even though they may be a bit circular. Maybe it's time to get on another astral plain and zoom off into some other reality like some of those others are trying to do?

Or, you could go on just doing what you been doing just fine.

What you need to do, George, is allow your readers to savor your work. Don't come out firing buckshots of poetry. It's all too much to take in one day. Allow your wonderful work to titillate the palette. Too much of a good thing in one day confuse the taste buds. Write on!

Love ya!

Jane
