I was unlucky - every other fish got away - next time maybe. I came to realise that there is a fine line between fishing and standing at the waters edge looking like an idiot.

Hi I just thought I would drop you a line after reading your last two submission and just say how much I love your writing. This site is wonderful because it show no prejudice to standard so every one is equal but I can\'t help now and then picking out someone who is that bit more special with their poetry. Really excellent stuff - I eagerly look forward to more. Best regards Terry

Hi Chrissie, I haven\'t sent the poem to you yet, only because I\'d rather only one person works on it at once as then the next person can read what they have had to say and not just my thoughts. Hopefully this way it will turn out to be a more interesting piece. Sorry if it takes a while to come around, hopefully it won\'t be too long! Damon.

Hello Lynn, I can\'t tell if you\'re online so I hope you get this. I\'d like to know how you are as I\'ve been worried about you. I am completely thrown by more changes in the site today. I hate not knowing whose online anymore and suddenly feel so lonely. ...a horrible feeling. Perhaps I\'ve let this place become too important. I can\'t seem to find my way around today. Is it me...or are you having problems too? Lots of love Chrissie x

Dear Chrissie, It seems as if everyday this site changes. I hate it when it keeps changing because I am still not all that comfortable as far as finding my way around. In fact I just posted a comment for your poem The Bag Lady but it did not show up. I wanted you to know though that I thought it was so beautiful and made me wish that we could all at least once a day receive a childs smile.I hope you are doing well. I am a little better but I guess i will get over it. I Love You Lots,Lynnundefined

Hi Robin, I\'ve just spent the better half of two hours looking for your poem, Scattered Echoes. I had read it before and commented, but it fell off my list when I commented on others and I forgot to make a mental note of your name. This particular poem moved me deeply and has stuck with me thru these days as one of the most beautiful I\'ve read on YPDC. I would love to post it on my website. My website is new and growing. My intention is to fill it with poems and inspiration that will help others cope when faced with depression, tragedy, etc. I\'ve already posted some poems written by Terry Driscoll, Chrissie, Dave Humphries (humphdj) and Carrie (from Orange, OH) along with links to the other poems they have posted here and on the old site. I\'ve made certain they retain all rights. With your permission, I would like to do the same for you with Scattered Echoes as a start. You can view what I\'ve done at my website at: <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/summersongScattered" target="_blank">www.angelfire.com/poetry/summersongScattered</a> Echoes contains so many profound truths about how we live our lives and may touch others the way it did me. Please let me know what you if you\'d be willing to share your story. Sincerely, Patricia Petro (summersong_oh@hotmail.com)

It\'s not that I was strong all by myself though. I have a wonderful friend that got me out and through most of the recovery afterwards, gave me back my self-esteem and self-worth. Your poems touch me because it\'s like a reflection of what could have been for me, and for so many others. I would really like to know what you think of some of my dv pieces... here are the titles in case you are interested.... : \"That Summer\", \"Why is HE here?\" \"Red Roses\", and \"Last Hope\". My favorite saying is that there is always hope even in the bleakest situations. If you can find the time to read them, let me know what you think, please. Gin

hi there chrissie lady! yes rosi and i had our little \"break\" over at the festival, it was awesome! 5 days camped out in monteray, the wheather was so beautiful. and the concerts there were good. and i finally posted a write today, i\'ve had a bit of a writer\'s block the past month, so it\'s been a bit odd. well, how are rosi and i? we got to spend 10 days together, and i think she seems to be doing pretty well... he he he! well for now, school starts up in a few weeks for me, and today is a workday, so i should be getting back to working... it was wonderful to hear from you. i hope you are doing well. kudos! ;0) -daniel [quote] On 2002-08-03 09:06, Chrissie wrote: Hiya Danny <IMG SRC=\"images/forum/smilies/icon_smile.gif\"> I\'ve missed you!

Don\'t worry Amber, I too am consantly pestered with problems with this so called advancement in technology, Ctrl/Alt/Del is imprinted on my finger tips! Not that this ever solves the problems! And hey, Don\'t give up either, not giving up on love is the hardest thing to do, but we never truly can! So this should tell us we can only be strong, not weak as we tend to feel when we open our hearts to someone who doesn\'t respond straight away! If you have seen something in him you must trust your judgement, even if it may\'ve been fooled before, it\'s continuously learning from life, therefore getting better at what it does! I can assure you he will not be laughing, maybe smiling with flattery, but certainly not laughing! If you do not eventually get your desired result then so be it, you\'re trying, that is all you can do! Your own conscience will be pleased with you, because at least you tried, this will allow you the strength to try again another day! Try doing away with the word hope, I find it tends to bring along with it an air of hoplessness. Use believe or it\'s derivatives in its place! Try it out, if you don\'t agree don\'t do it, but I\'m beginning to believe this works with confidence in just about everything. It dosen\'t always work in reality, but even then it just seems to make things feel more achievable and sunnier in their outlook! The dark things I\'ve recently placed on the site I wrote a while back, I\'ve had two people say \'tongue twister\' about the Dear D..... one! I\'m not sure I understand, do you think they\'re trying to tell me it doesn\'t belong on a poetry site? Or should I not worry, or am I getting the wrong idea and simply being stupidly paranoid? <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_wink.gif"> <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_razz.gif"> <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_confused.gif"> Speak to ya soon With love Dean I\'m attempting to put into words my theory about flies, so be prepared to think I\'m madder than you thought already! <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_razz.gif">

Thank you for your comment on my last poem! It was nice... How are you? I haven\'t heard from you in a while and was actually thinking about you last night, so it was nice to see your comment. I\'m doing alright. I get to head back to school in a few days which is very exciting. It has been a very long summer. I have kept myself busy by writing, strumming the old guitar, drinking coffee, and doing Yoga!! The exciting life of Adreana... Anyway, hope all is well in your world... Take care and I hope to hear from you soon! As always Adreana

Hi...sorry I just now read your comment. When you say it seems like something from a fairytale. Does that mean that you would believe that there is someone out there like that? or is that to say I stole it? lol <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_smile.gif"> Please believe that person described is me!

Thank you 2bRead,your comment means alot.As for the type poems I like,75% of them are what my mood generates at the time.The other 35%(110%,I feel like I try to give this)may be something that hits me when I am sleeping,it will wake me up,and I come to the PUTER and put it down.Or just drinking coffee,driving or mowing the grass.Where ever it hits,I have to stop and write.It seems to flow,I dont have to stop and think.Just write.Being retired I can pretty well stop what I am doing and write.Once again,thanx for the comment,and keep your great writing on the site...I also write under the pen name,,,withpen_inhand,,,

Time as they say heals all wounds, that is very untrue as people that have been through this do know. I thankyou Jason from the bottom of my heart for your comments on my poem. I feel for both you and especially your sister. The thing that has got me through all of this and many other different types of abuse that i have been through is that there are others out there that have been through far more than i have had to endure. Thankyou again. <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_smile.gif">

Hey! To answer your question.... The mentoring group that I\'m starting is called Reach Out. It\'s open to all high school students who want to participate in helping someone\'s life, by tutoring, mentoring, or just letting someone bend their ear. The students that we help come from all walks of life... and it\'s great to be able to help them with their problems!!! So far, I\'m the only student in it because I have to have it approved by my principal, and I have 9 girls that I mentor. Their story can be found in the poem, \"The Longest Night of my Life\". Hope that answers your question!!! *Hugs* Gin

Thanks!!! I\'m still a little nervous about starting it up... but I think a good motto gets you everywhere! Thanks for all of your kind comments on my poems... oh yeah, did you read \"The Secret of Life\"? I wrote it for you as a sequel to \"The Secret\" because you said you wanted to do all the things in that poem... so I made your list a little longer... lol. Bye for now! Gin

Thank you for your comment on my poem \"Sex Machine.\" It\'s received a good bit of criticism, but your comment was the first bit of criticism that was helpful in any way, and i greatly appreciate that. It was a highly experimental poem that nobody has really taken to kindly. Please let me explain myself. The \"Sex Machine\" describe is simply humanity, the \"Units\" are babies, and the general meaning of the poem is that as more and more people are born, the world becomes continuously more chaotic and dysfunctional. The experimental part came when i tried to relate the actual text of the poem to the poem\'s meaning. The poem describes this factory where humans are being constructed, again, the \"Sex Machine,\" and as things become more chaotic, the poem describes the machines breaking down as oil shoots across the room or nuts and bolts are destroyed. At the same time, the text becomes progressively more chaotic as, at first, the rhyme scheme is warped and then disappeards entirely, then the meter is also perverted, follwed by the spelling and grammar, and ending in a state with all of the letters of the words intertwined, and having no spaces or punctuation at all. The last stanza translated reads \"Dinosaurs will rule the earth. Down with Humanity. Long live the king. (Drownlings) The colony of man-children will smother itself blue.\" I hope this helps you to better understand the meaning of this \"crap\" that i wrote. I thank you again for your comment, and i would like to ask you to give a couple of my other works a read because none of the rest are at all like this, and i have even gotten some nice, praising responses on a good number of them. I thank you for your time, and wish you a pleasant day. Sincerely, Butterat Zool.

Hello there Chrissie. I thought I would take a few moments and let you know how much I appreciate your comments. I do read your poems..I sit here and read poems for hours on end. Just always \'forget\' to comment I guess LOL... I love your writings though. I find the majority of them soothing to read. Your range of topics is astounding. I wish I could put out as many poems as you do. My mind just doesn\'t seem to work as well these days. I have been sick and on a number of different meds that like to mess with my memory and concentration. So when I get a good thing going on in my mind..boy to I have to quickly find a pen and paper. Anyhow..I won\'t talk you ear off (so to type LOL)...Just wanted to tell you Thank you..and that you are such an impressive writer. Lia <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_smile.gif">

You\'re more than welcome. I thank you for explaining the poem. When I said that I personally think it\'s crap (that was wrong of me by the way, I should have just said I didn\'t like it. I\'m am SORRY), it was personal. I did get the impression that one who could understand it would appreciate the poem. I appreciate it now that I understand it, but you have to remember that you don\'t have the author right there with you when you read it. Poetry is already complex and abstract, but sometimes author\'s can go too far to where reader\'s can\'t gain anything from the work. Let\'s say that you\'re poem was published and people read it at school. I think it would get an overall thumbs down, because your poem can seemingly only be deciphered by you. When i get the chance I will check some of your other works. I understand that it was experimental, but remember, \"when you play with fire, you take the risk of getting burned.\" I just don\'t think they had the right to say that you \"don\'t have a clue.\" I\'m sure many have read poems by very famous authors that didn\'t \"float their boat.\" Shakespeare wrote hundreds of sonnets, but I find it hard to believe that all of them were taken kindly to. Anyway, Check some of mine, but I will forwarn you. I am a Child Of Christ, so some are very Christian-like. Be Blessed!

Hey! Yeah of course you can take it to Canada!!! (I live in Cleveland, TN by the way). The way that I have it set up over here is that the high school students involved have to maintain a 2.5 GPA and be interested only in the communtity service work, no $$. Each student that wants to be involved in the program fills out an application and submits it to the person in charge. The application is just to make sure that they will really want to participate in all the programs with the students. Once you have all the students you want to be involved (of course this all has to be approved by the principals at your high school and the schools you\'ll be going to) you want to set up students that have had similiar experiences with the students that they are mentoring to. That way the kids can\'t say that they don\'t understand. Reach Out also does tutoring... in that case you take the students that are better in whatever subject and pair them with students that are struggling in whatever subject... make sense??? If not... my email address is <a href="mailto:ginsballet@aol.com">ginsballet@aol.com</a> just email me with your questions and I\'ll do my best to answer them. Maybe send you a mock letter or application, whatever you need to get it started. Thanks for your interest in this (I\'m only a senior this year)! Gin

Gary, I am so sorry that it takes me so long to reply back to you. I am back at school where i have a computer so I will be back sharing. I am really not up for writing right now though. I went from writers block to....lets just say not good in less than a week. My life seems to fall apart in short amounts of time! enough about that mess. I am not real sure whether my posts reflect who I am. I try to be emotionally honest in my poetry. I am so sorry to hearabout your friends. I will keep them in my prayers. I don\'t know if that offers any consolation. Don\'t worry about long letters. I don\'t mind them. I am a writer and a reader!

I understand that the suicide rate among poets is quite abit higher than among the general public. <IMG SRC=\"images/forum/smilies/icon_frown.gif\"> Probably has to do with being \"in greater touch with our feelings\" or something like that. This time last year I couldn`t care less about poetry or giving any thought to how I was feeling. Writing seems to bring those feelings into focus. When I look back at some of the rubbish I`ve written, I could question my stability if I didn`t personally know me, (and what I get up to). <IMG SRC=\"images/forum/smilies/icon_razz.gif\"> Someone I cared about died recently in a car accident, another ended up in ICU and the driver walked away. He wasn`t related to me but it`s still hit me very hard, (never can see the point, just have to be muddle along praying our loved ones will be in good hands). Writing for me has been a great way to relieve stress but I havn`t found much time lately. Looking over what I`ve got posted here doesn`t really reflect who I really am, might post some lighter stuff while I`m here.
