What a good story! I enjoyed this story very much!
Citizen's Movements (Article) - 11/9/2002 11:24:12 AM
Fine writing. I have a few minor squabbles with the "self-advocacy" movement in that I refuse to consider drug and alcohol problems, sexual proclivities (like cross dressing) and other extremely counter-productive and disruptive behaviors as "disablities" or "behavior problems." The primary function of every business is to make money and any employee who does not further that aim must be able to be expunged from that company, so that they can find some area in which they can be truly productive. // As to the peace movement, I think everyone prefers peace to war. I firmly believe that most people would agree with me that peace can only be assured through strength...or "Peace through superior fire power," as the saying goes. In that regard, the Bush administration is the world's foremost peace movement. The conciliators, appeasers and people who'd prefer to "talk things out" rather than defend what they believe in are, in effect, advocates of war, genocide and slavery since those are what happens when civilized people (like the industrial West) try to "negotiate" or "talk" with the savages of the Mid-East. // Well written though, despite our disagreements.

Eyes In The Back Of My Head (Poetry) - 4/9/2002 9:44:58 AM
I had to smile when I read this--my children (now grown)wondered if I had another set of eyes or if I practiced magic or something! It never dawned on them just how obvious they were.

Nice, Janet. Very nice. I really like this.
Shoo Fly (Poetry) - 3/16/2002 7:12:45 PM
Again, you capture such raw emotions; the second line ("she said to me") and then the final two lines really got to me.

The Father, The Daughter, The Gun (Poetry) - 3/16/2002 6:33:32 PM
This is stark: stark reality (and this unfortunate reality needs this stark exposure) and stark in its eloquence. This really moved me.

Breathe (Poetry) - 3/7/2002 8:44:12 PM
There is a feeling of togetherness, and very innocently sweet love presented in this wonderful poem. I could almost hear those laughter and felt the joys within this poem when I read through this.
Great work Janet!

This is really beautiful Janet. It reminds me of the many times that I drove away from my sweet brother after a visit to the group home, looking back and watching him peer through the window smiling and waving. Janet

Hi Janet!
I agree with Sandi. This is a very good write and makes me want to 'sniff' my s/o's shirt that he wore today. Janet

The Father, The Daughter, The Gun (Poetry) - 10/12/2001 6:22:26 PM
Wow Janet, this leaves so much to the imagination, I like that. I can think of many scenarios to fit this. Utmost in my mind is a social worker removing an abused child from her Father.
There are others as well, that is the first thing that came to my mind. Good work. JC

mmm-mm-m...unique and unusual use of image combination from pre-Celt to Deep Southern Americana. very nice poetic metaphor for relationships.

Images popped into my mind as I read each line so carefully. This is so TRUE! As one who has done volunteer work, I've seen this 'shi*'
Then there are many other 'institutions' that make my skin crawl with their behaviours. This needs to be heard.
Excellent!!! JC
