so glad you are happy, linn! you deserve it! :) (((HUGS))) wonderful little write! stay happy, and may you be strong! :)
Fear (Article) - 4/23/2003 1:26:27 AM
Happy stuff isn't nearly so entertaining to read! :) You want to lose 4,522 pounds-- is that hubby and his family? ;)
Fear (Article) - 11/25/2002 6:37:04 AM
Very good write. First analize then dissect the problem.

funny how junior high romance thoughts can follow us to our death. I love it :)
Stolen Moments (Article) - 9/24/2002 5:36:52 PM
A lovely piece of work....
Stolen Moments (Article) - 9/1/2002 9:57:56 AM
Like Kate says this aught to be a poem. Such wonderful emotions and passion. Wish I can feel this way some day. (envy, too bad eh?)but then could not help it.
Not when some one says it so beautifully and with such warmth.
Stolen Moments (Article) - 8/31/2002 1:57:43 PM
What a poignant write hun... THe yearning is so well expressed.. And the final line is one I think we all have felt at some time or another... Just feel..
Excellent..
Stolen Moments (Article) - 8/31/2002 11:44:53 AM
This should be a poem, my dear Linnie! It reads nearly like one. The theme is begging to be in that format! This is a positive and lovely write. Condense it and make it SOAR!!! You can, you know (wink). love, katy. oxox (ps. Im very happy for you!) tehe.
One More Time (Article) - 8/6/2002 8:22:22 PM
Very personal, did you ever say that to him. I think people can relate. The last few paragraphs are the strongest. When you get specific the reader relates the most.
One More Time (Article) - 8/6/2002 2:04:30 PM
if pain can be breathtaking and mesmerizing you've captured it.. and of course it can! 'fear of the unknown' is remedied by learning it and letting it go, if need be.. you are on the road.. and paving it well for yourself. know your enemy,, then CANCEL him! great write, linnie, my sweet.katy.xx
Confrontation is Ugly! (Article) - 8/6/2002 1:42:21 PM
there is a place of pain in us.. perhaps it fills like a bladder.. yours is bursting.. Im so very glad that you are relieving it with your words here.. and beginning to feel that gorgeous sense of relief and release as even that horrid place in you begins to shrink.. you have torn yourself open.. now, feel the stitiches sewing you back up with all these new friends who do care! be well, linnie.. you ARE a writer. and the best writers write what they know: themselves. keep it going! love, katy.
Confrontation is Ugly! (Article) - 8/6/2002 10:24:49 AM
I liked this perspective of a life! Very interesting to ponder.None of us truly knows all the real aspects of who we are inside. We are constantly trying to find ourselves deep down inside searching; we will never internally know who we are or where we could be going with our lives. I find this intriguing. Thx for another insight to life.
you always had the knack for writing.

Wow that is some good stuff. I wish I could read more, if possible. Please email me any other items you would be willing to share! Thanks, Dave

Welcome to "the den".. Im glad Im not the first comment.. a little encouragement and lots of enthusiasm, plus the "burning in the belly".. come back at us with more, Linnie! Perhaps you have found the release that will let that rage out and get it GONE! A 10 indeed! katy.
Scary Ramblings of a Linnie (Article) - 7/23/2002 3:39:15 PM

Through The Looking Glass (Poetry) - 11/15/2005 9:32:59 AM
Great reflection of the pain and heartbreak of a felled relationship..
One either stays in the past. Or just gets over it.

Dreams (Poetry) - 10/10/2002 6:28:12 AM
I sometimes wake up from a dream where I was still a young man, but then if I went back I would have to do it all over again.
So Confused (Poetry) - 10/6/2002 6:15:27 PM
In a moment of wisdom a woman once told me not to analyze everything where the heart is concerned.. er.... that woman was me. Relax.. enjoy! tehe. katy.
Don't Wake Me (Poetry) - 10/6/2002 6:12:32 PM
oooooooo... gettin' sexy, are we? but thats where the magic is.. write it.. own it! This is very sensuous.. good job! katy.
Kaleidoscope (Poetry) - 10/6/2002 6:08:35 PM
"yet nothing lingers".. thats the line that brought it home for me.. we must make ourselves whole.. its sifting through whats out there and the choices we make that give us the ammo to do that. this is nicely written and dripping with pain.. turn your search inward.. you will find what I have found in you: a profoundly beautiful person.. but dont go by me.. go get her! (smile) you have always been a good and true friend through the years.. start there. love, katy. xoxox (and keep writing.. I know of no other remedy that truly works!)
Kaleidoscope (Poetry) - 10/5/2002 9:27:45 AM

Save Me (Poetry) - 10/4/2002 12:38:43 PM
Very good, Linnie. The trick to having talent lies in dedication and passion. I think you have both of these qualities in abundance. Thanks very much for your nice review of my poem.
Kaleidoscope (Poetry) - 10/3/2002 11:35:14 PM
I agree with Peg...does the searching ever have an end though, that search lies within ourselves. Very good write!
Kaleidoscope (Poetry) - 10/3/2002 10:33:36 PM
Very nice!
Don't Wake Me (Poetry) - 9/17/2002 7:16:46 AM
I'd like to see you stay with the five line stanza form. It seemed like each stanza needed one more verse to be complete. The first two stanzas really set the poem up well.
Don't Wake Me (Poetry) - 9/15/2002 6:31:07 AM
Beautiful, sensual write here.
Don't Wake Me (Poetry) - 9/14/2002 4:54:10 PM
I don't know, perhaps it's just me. "Your teeth" and "My teeth" seemed to have taken the romance out of this one, made me think of "dentures".
Okay, it's just me who's thinking like this, don't take my words for it. It's your teeth and his teeth.
Sandie Angel :o)
So Confused (Poetry) - 9/8/2002 7:40:54 PM
The quandries of love and wanting the wonder of it...and wondering..~smiles~ if it is what is right for you. Great write. ;) Silver

very nicely said....i like your mind.
Subterfuge (Poetry) - 9/2/2002 2:35:24 PM
Introspective poetry can be the most thought provoking. Self-examination is the motivating force for many poets. I enjoyed this one. I found myself asking some of these questions about myself.
The Key (Poetry) - 9/2/2002 2:30:35 PM
Ah, yes. True love is the key. Such keys, however, are painfully scarce in today's day and age. What a shame there is no master key for true love.
My Guardian Angel (Poetry) - 9/2/2002 12:06:00 PM
I agree with JudeAce, forever will he be watching and guiding. Nice job here!

Joel
The Key (Poetry) - 9/2/2002 10:14:55 AM
Ahhhhhhh... there she is!!! The Linnie who's been lurking around inside all this time.. what a delightful tale and so sweetly told! ooooo.. this is a KEEPER! this is your realm.. knights, dragons, maidens faire.. more more more!! (giggle). your pal and pushy promoter! katy. xoxoxo.
The Key (Poetry) - 9/2/2002 10:12:47 AM
I liked the story. The poetic format was well used, but I love rhyme. Especially, in a story, I love to come back to a rhyme. It makes the story stick even more.
The Key (Poetry) - 9/2/2002 5:41:01 AM
Nice write Linnie, with fantasy you can create anything your imagination can conceive. The characters don't even have to be frogs either. Good stuff.
Tim

Excellent write...

The War Within (Poetry) - 9/1/2002 10:27:26 AM
first visit here and glad I stopped by what a wonderful phrase and I agree with Peggy
"pen or sword it matters not
as the power within me grows
between love and hate..
The War Within (Poetry) - 9/1/2002 10:03:39 AM
How right you are! Pen is as powerful as the sword, if not more and the Pen seems to wield great power in your hands. Great write Keep writing!!!
The War Within (Poetry) - 9/1/2002 9:51:36 AM
Linnie: some great alliteration in this: ..'here i stand stock still'.. great imagery.. you are so obviously readying to do battle! In such a short time you have grown so as a poet. Make those demons work FOR you.. a powerful and very personal write.. well done! katy.
My Guardian Angel (Poetry) - 9/1/2002 9:45:50 AM
Linnie.. recovery always starts with one foot in front of the other.. and here you are paying tribute to a positive force in your life.. this is the Linnie I have always known.. unselfish, kind and ever ready to share. Im sure that Jim is there and will always watch over you. Your poem has certainly given him "wings".. so nice to read this.. oh YES!! katy. xoxo
The War Within (Poetry) - 9/1/2002 5:23:12 AM

revealing onselself is not an easy thing to do...
Subterfuge (Poetry) - 8/28/2002 12:10:09 PM
Poetically this is truly wonderful! Revealing all is tough and risky and poetry allows us that outlet.. the last verse brought it home for me. I know you to be upfront and all that you are.. parts of this suggest that you are not always entirely what I see.. you've conveyed the idea that "what you see isnt what you get".. I love your honesty.. sharpen that part of yourself.. its the REAL you.. well done.. you can beat the confusion.. Im proud of what you've done... love, katy. xoxo
