You honor Christ Cles. He has His own rewards for you. :)

excellent write, cles; very well done! :)
There Is (Short Story) - 8/26/2005 12:24:58 AM
It's all too easy to blame God for the mess man has made of the world. People can spend all their energy fighting shadows when they'd be better off turning around to face the fierce fire of God's light. Your write brings this into perspective for those who can only see the horrors of choice, not the love and healing it also makes available. I enjoyed this posting. Thanks for sharing.
The Zinnias: Having Their Say! (Short Story) - 8/4/2005 4:55:55 AM
Cles, I looked at this story in return for you looking at mine. You said kind things, but 'tis plain that you've talent I'll never have. A story that is 100% dialogue is difficult to write, but you've pulled it off elegantly. A very cute story--one that I'll remember. I'm late for work, but look forward to reading more of your stories later. Keep writing.
All About Eve (Short Story) - 7/25/2005 6:48:23 PM
An interesting perspective, clear and concise. I think I disagree with Rogwer Ochs review a bit; Eve wasn't "framed", but it was certainly "entrapment". Great write.
All About Eve (Short Story) - 7/16/2005 2:19:13 PM
This is a wonderful write, Celeste. I enjoyed every word, and you know what, I actually agree with you. Thanks for sharing such a beautifully written, yet short piece. It was short, but sweet. Awesome job, my friend.

This has been a very amusing read. I was posting my reply earlier today when the cable went out and finally got back on. You brought so much life to this story.

A very nice remiding article I love the title and the way you reminded us all how tragic all is. I must say I'm in agreement with Katy
Thanks so much this is really hitting the gut and heart hard here as if it were happening today.
may we remember always each moment of everyday the soldiers on the bases and in combat all who are defending us to keep our peace and freedom for us to all be safely here today and all their innocent lives still being lost today, their freedom and normal everyday lives they leave behind for us.

Amazing to hear the voices of our community. God Bless You Celeste!

Our Voices (Article) - 9/11/2002 9:14:16 PM
Fascinating quotes and reactions...some funny, some poignant and others strange. I think Karen's partly right in that we must eradicate bin Laden and numerous other terrorists, but not torture them. I think Sandra and Katy's quotes were the most troubling - the USA's "Crime" has been its oil dependence which has made a group of thugs wealthy. We need to develop a cheap, renewable fuel source (perhaps corn or soy based) and cut these OPEC nations off and let'em drink their oil. As for Katy's view, "This would never have happened if Bill Clinton were in office," that's both funny & sad. Funny in that it's so misguided - Clinton gutted the CIA, froze out Louis Freeh, then FBI Director and trashed the military (see Black Hawk Down - it was demoralizing that we didn't level Mogadishu after that attack). Still, it's intersting to see such varied reactions. // Nice work.

Amen to what Candy said. You put in a nutshell what many

What a strong voice in this poem. The message is important, and a poem that needs to be heard.
Who Told? (Poetry) - 9/2/2005 1:43:31 PM
Amen. I hope this gets out to students and young ladies everywhere. The issue is not limited to race - but to all humanity that would constitute such a yoke for anyone other than themselves.

Go girl :)!

I read this 3 times, making sure I really was in the company of a writer who SAYS IT! But you've done more than that, far more. You, madam, have struck a blow for ALL women, of ALL colors.
Your language is pointed, blunt, and drenched in the kind of truth the wilting violets aren't able to look at...

When A Woman's In Love (Poetry) - 7/6/2005 1:04:50 PM
This says it all,"When a womans in love... Her eyes are blinded by the rays of love delivered by the pulsing beats in her heart." Love lets you lift the veil and see clearly what has captured your heart.
When A Woman's In Love (Poetry) - 7/2/2005 12:35:25 PM
Hey, Cles- I like this.Your stylized photo shows me something about you. Lots of interesting womanhood there.Your poem tells me enough that I could seduce you, if I wasn't too old and you too far away.Try my good poetry- my best- Long Gone Love, Journey, Willow, Old Souls, Nevermore and Tasting The Night. Also Ashes In The wind. I know that's a lot, but I'm counting on you enjoying good poetry- and I'm good. Take care now. Keep that spirit above all. Jerry Andrews

Cles, you captured it too well! When a woman is in love there is no stopping her - her Heaven is indeed on earth, so what more could she ask for.
I love te finale ... When a woman’s in love…
She’ll take it to the Streets, showing you, showing me, showing: her stuff.
She ain’t ashamed of her Game…She got a full court audience.
Well penned, Cles!
God bless,

I am not moved to shivering in my skin very often but this young lady has succeeded in taking me there.
To me this poem is not about what it says but what it's about what it doesn't say.
It is a beautiful enigmatic work.

Lovely poem. I first started writing poetry when I was 12. We were assigned to collect a group of poems into something like a chapbook. I found I liked doing it and still am doing it at age 32. Let TA read and write more poetry. It will enrich her life as it has mine.

I had to read this over a few times. Really well crafted. A great economy with words, it's as terrible as a car wreck and as wondrous as a flower blooming.

Blessings. This is a wonderful way to express pain and pleasure in one short (brief) poem. Excellent Write!!! Keep the flow.

Excellent, Celeste. Brief and to the point.
Very effective counter points...hand of love and hand of destruction.

Very unique......and so sad! You have a great talent.

This poem is constructed in a way that demands one to read on and, having done so, demands a re-read again and again. Beautiful and poignant language intelligently using the power of contrast to make a point that needs deep reflection and positive action from politicians AND the community alike. This is really a classic heartfelt cry for action to eliminate child violence and abuse. Thank you for posting it.

Moved me to tears, powerful poetry, full of raw emotion. Read Poe's also, like them both.

lol...interesting conversations.. :P
Breathless (Poetry) - 8/12/2002 6:58:52 AM
That was superb, because i mark it 8, it doesn't mean i like it any less than anyone else, but because i rate fairly rather than give everyone 10 for everything like a lot of sheep, lol,... i mean people. This way you will know when i really like something because i will give it a 10.
I hope you agree that is fair.
