Bet You Can't Beat This (Short Story) - 10/11/2007 12:13:53 PM
This reminded me of my own children's births. My son was born the day after his father's birthday, and my daughter was not born on my birthday, but I got to take her home on that day. However, there was no ongoing eccentric rivalry played out in my family. We just had to accept it as part of life. Nevertheless, your story was good.

Thank you for that valuable lesson. That is far more profound than anything that I have read in a while. I do not know if you read the bible or not, but it is a point that Christ made often and well. However, I know people who read the bible and the thought has never occurred to them because it must be over their heads. God bless you.

Warm and heart warming and brought back a memory of my own Dad's funeral, he too was an avid card player as was all of his family. The night he was being viewed at the funeral home, his sister my aunt asked if I thought it would be okay if she put a pack of playing cards in with him. I said it was not only okay it was perfect and together we laid them under his hand and his rosary.

Do You Know Who You're Talking to On the Internet? (Article) - 3/27/2008 2:29:05 PM
I really enjoyed this and it has brought back many memories. I have had numerous "relationships" on the 'net with others. Most of the times they end because I'm "too real" for them.
What I mean is that there is that bit of fantasy in a web friendship that can't be hidden in the real world. But to me, I treat both the same - real.
If we try to hide something from someone - all we are doing is hiding from ourselves.
Do You Know Who You're Talking to On the Internet? (Article) - 3/22/2008 11:00:48 AM
I agree with Tinka on this one a person is nuts to talk and carry on a any kind of casual relationship, from simple friendship to a cyber affair without using a cam to at least see who and what you are communicating with. I am sorry but anyone who won't spring for a $20 cam usually has somthing to hide. As for name changes, I think, although I have never done it, a lot of people do just to protect themselves until they are sure who they are talking to. Either way their are good on line relationships and bad ones just like in the real world.

Did you know Sandy that the same consultancy as was engaged by the GOP in 2000 has just been involved in the Mexican election, the result of which bears astonishing (or not depending on your politics) similarities. Thousans of votes in working class areas allegely left blank and the party claiming victory totally resistant to a hand recount(machines can't count hanging chad but a human adjudicator can easily see what was intended even if the punch machine has not worked quite correctly.
People should not be hard on Al he fought a clean and fair campaign and when he saw the writing on the wall he accepted it gracefully. You would not have had him do otherwise. After all no American could support a President who did not win fair and square could they?

Sublime Abandon (Poetry) - 4/1/2006 11:45:12 AM
"Who forfeits power and freedom with such sublime abandon and why"... so well said, Sandy... and the joke is it is all in the name of Democracy!! It is the same UK. Here it seems largely Democracy driven by the apathy of the vote; our abuse of right, rather than being disempowered of it or by it. But, on another level, perhaps this poem points up the covertness of friends... in that the closer the circle, the more difficult it becomes to highlight where our nearest and dearest are falling off the path... and the betrayal that is then felt by that "one" to discover that all SAW the problems and yet said nothing to them. In our "free" societies, the sleight of hand perhaps comes with the fact that we believe we are seeing what, in fact, is not the actual case. And we believe what we're told. This makes indeed for "festering wounds". Must stop gabbing, but neat write as always. TY Kate xx
Suspended In Time (Poetry) - 3/25/2006 4:58:16 PM
Love at times is like a gush of water running over a bizarrely shaped scape. Even when absorbed by the soil or evaporated by the heat of the sun, it does not change that fact that it once existed. Not a single particle disappeared since the beginning of creation, just like no event has ever escaped the memory of the universe. It is the essence of life, no matter how unaware of this we may be. Poems perhaps are the retrieving tools of life.
RAge
Sublime Abandon (Poetry) - 3/25/2006 4:49:27 PM
If answers seem too terrifying to contemplate then not asking the questions that would provoke them is nothing less than a deathwish that's merely still unfulfilled. It is the mechanism that allows the destruction of this world, the betrayal of Love and the continuation of the fragmentation of the universe. Perhaps the occurance of this event is inevitable nevertheless, but is good to see some at least refuse to go without knowing why. The powerful way in which this was done in this poem gives the effort even more meaning. Thank you for creating and sharing. Take care,

Maybe we're not meant to win at the game. Maybe the best we can hope for is to have some chances to play. Love can be as cruel as it is beautiful and although we are all very similar,in many ways we differ. Our only saving grace is the fact that we are constantly changing, at times that draws us closer together,yet it can also push us further apart. Life and love should'nt be so complicated.

regarding your bold issue, i can tell from the spacing that you've used word to create this. what happened, is that there is html underlying the text. so you should always take what you write in word, put it in a text editor like wordpad, and then take out any extra spacing or bolding there, save it as a text document and then copy and paste it. have a merry christmas!
Wish I Knew Now What I Did Then (Poetry) - 12/12/2005 3:45:48 PM
Oh Sandy, this is so beautiful & powerful!!
'Still felt the magic of your hands
Years after you took them away..'
& oh those lines pack a punch to all of us who have loved, yet lost, that oh so special loved one!
Well done Sandy for reaching into the core!!
Love & friendship Suzie xox

Wish I Knew Now What I Did Then (Poetry) - 12/4/2005 2:45:33 PM
A wonderful encapsulation that is beautifully personal but embraces the universal perfectly. The three-line tag is haunting and to me sounds like the chorus of a wonderful ballad of a song... in fact, the whole could be a tremendous Christmas Number One! Thank you for sharing such a deeply moving testimony to an irrepressible and enduring love. LOL Kate xx
Wish I Knew Now What I Did Then (Poetry) - 11/30/2005 8:36:53 PM
But I guess we don't know so we can taste the sweetness of knowing and appreciate the difference when it does come so much deeper, just like in love. I also think our learning isn't very smooth. I ahve gone years without learning much and then wham bam in a matter of a few seconds I went through double paradigm shifting. Life is invigorating! Bill Cottringer
Wish I Knew Now What I Did Then (Poetry) - 11/19/2005 3:27:36 AM

Step Outside (Poetry) - 10/25/2005 2:04:30 PM
As usual, Sandy, you deck me with your brevity and yet your fascinating ability to conjure a myriad of concepts and thoughts with such deceptive "simplicity" in terms of form and language. Yet you also have such deftness in terms of the ways in which your ideas are uniquely applied. I could swing on the trapeze of this one all day! Very classy, very well done. TY Kate xx

Step Outside (Poetry) - 10/11/2005 10:31:55 AM
this is a conversation held in the privacy of one's own mind, perhaps a dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious, the dark and the light, the good, and that bad. modern conceptions of sanity pale in the reflection of what is truly real, and what is not. a thoughtful and provocative write, poet.
Step Outside (Poetry) - 10/8/2005 11:06:28 AM

Oh Sandy so many questions and very few answers and as I age and my health issues increase I find too often I am asking myself these same questions. Yes I know I will leave behind loved ones but sometimes a man (or woman) aspires to leave behind more perhaps for their loved ones to admire...who knows. I wonder too...

what a soulful and poignant rendition of the 'star-crossed lovers' ideal...it's always so sad, isn't it, especially the moment of realization, when poems like this are born. love your imagery and word choice, you said exactly what had to be said, and got out of dodge. admirable.

Another Time (Poetry) - 8/24/2005 2:48:18 PM
You always bowl me over with your angles on the way you express just that special "something"! Always in a neat and concise way that is just so precise and yet fits in so cleverly with the image or scenario that you paint. I think in pictures, and it reminds me of shuffling a pack of cards, somehow. You are a craftsman/woman(!!) and I get the sense of you having very acute vision and good spatial awareness - are you an architect or something? Don't mind me.. it's a bit late and I'm taking more than a few tangents of my own! Great thought-processes sharply caught and defined. TY Kate xx

Innovative poem with a message to us all; sometimes we have no control over the "timing." Good.
Another Time (Poetry) - 8/19/2005 4:16:22 AM
Sandy,
Your words sing true, with 'timing is everything,' for unless both are willing and able to work on the relationship, it's simply, not going to work.
It's sad, but so many have lost and watched their chance to happiness and love, fade with the light of day.
Beautiful work.

Another Time (Poetry) - 8/19/2005 4:11:40 AM
Reminds me of the parable of the seed that fell on rocky soil, it grew but then died for lack of soil to spread its roots. We don't always know when love will take root but we must have rich soil for it to grow when it does.
Another Time (Poetry) - 8/19/2005 3:44:55 AM
Oh Sandy that is the trouble with love...it is so hit and miss. You wait and wait for the right one then when you give up and settle for second best. Mr/Ms Right seems to always come strollong along. A little sad this one but really well written.

I Live (Poetry) - 7/28/2005 5:03:30 AM
I really like this a lot, Sandy. A sobering reminder that we can never judge from the outside what is going on in others' relationships - let alone their heads! Just sorting out our own can be hard enough!! I also like the twist of being reminded that what we might take to be "abuse" of whatever sort may be actually far from the truth, in that the odd difficulty or show of things going awry may do little to undo the previous good that has been shown and sown, given and received. You have subtley crafted a multiplicity of emotions with a dextrous and economic hand - my reviews could learn a lot from your clarity and cleanness! And I like the way you take this head on. Glad to hear that you have your own very inspirational Luz in your household! TY Kate xx

"Twas The Night After Thanksgiving" is poem that complies with one

Many messages are entwined through the poetic magnificent lines of "Twas The Night After Thanksgiving", - and all of them - leads
the reader´s mind to think on social responsibilities, and strikes
