Vivian Outen Says
"Libbie Richman's debut novel reads like a story ripped out of tosay's headlines-a story that unfortunately is very plausible in today's society.
"Let It Be Me is actually a good book. The storyline is excellent; it falls right in line with americas fascination with celebrities and it is very contemporary. There is a wonderfully complex plot. This is Ms. Richman's first novel and she exhibits great potential. She is definitely an author to keep your eye on.

We always won't know what the future holds for us, but as long as we have dreams and hopes the future will look brighter. Wonderful write.

Now I'm depressed! Hopefully... poems like your will move people and remind them of the real reason for Christmas. And not just during Christmas... but throughout their entire lives. This world would be an entirely different place!

Unlock The Chained Up Door (Poetry) - 8/5/2003 3:59:39 PM
CHOICES LIKE VOICES
CRY OUT TO BE HEARD,
NEW MOONS
CAST A GLOW,
BUT HAVE NOT FACES
NOR WORDS.
VINTAGE YEARS PASS---
NOTHING STAYS THE SAME,
TOMORROW DOESN'T LAST
YESTERDAY IS NOW A NAME;
NOW IS JUST A DAY
LIKE MUD THAT TURNS TO CLAY.
TOUCH THE AIR---
FEEL THE WEIGHT
THAT LIES WITHIN YOUR GRASP;
SMELL THE RAIN,
THE HOUR'S LATE;
AND---NOTHING
IS THE ONLY THING
THAT LASTS.
The last line blew me away... this just held me to the bitter end

Wonderful!! I am in love with words and reading this made me love them more. Great write
Words (Poetry) - 7/25/2003 5:30:34 PM
Words
There are words sublime and those we regret,
Words for conjecture ---- words of neglect.
Words that can touch with joy, love, or disdain,
Words for sadness, happiness, anger and pain.
It is by what is said we cast an interpretation,
The utterances which lead, too often, toward an evaluation.
Therefore, with awareness, perhaps we should listen to our voice
And carefully select what should be spoken with regard for our choice.
Words can determine, show kindness, and often enhance,
So when we speak those murmurs are best used without pretense.
Words can offer pleasure, encourage, and provide others with laughter;
words can pursue, enrich, and remain within, lingering forever after.
Words can abuse, heed, protect, and frighten,
But those most valuable are words which enlighten.
Words demonstrate, elaborate, shape, convince, erode---
They can be the root of evil, or the spark of hope.
Words can divulge, deceive, evoke truth, bless, condemn, or dupe,
Hence, wisdom and discretion are clues when to speak and when best
to remain mute.............
>>> And You, Poet, put them together – one hundred and sixty- nine words in
nineteen lines into five stanzas – to create and deliver “WORDS”, THIS
meaningful composition. This poem, “WORDS”.
I Thank the Author for posting HIS sage “WORDS”.
