Thanks, S.M.K., too bad I can't carry a tune, eh?

You did a new face! (No idea how you do them, but I do look for them)

You're right, never-ever and all that, so true though.

Thank you, Tonya,

Nice of you to say that and I'm not even sure where it came from, just sat down and wrote it.

Your Welcome ! You have a great talent in writing poems in just sitting down and writing something on paper and turns out like that . I hope you share more .:-)

Sometimes the best just flow from our fingers without a thought. Good job.

So true, Angie, because I'm not sure where that one even came from.

The repetition work so well with the poem's sentiment, Marilyn. Nicely done.

Thank you, John. I just read your post well, today about Obsession and the telescope - you brought back memories that I'd forgotten I'd forgotten!

Laurie,

Have I told you that I love your writing? Oh, probably only a lot of times.

I think you are so right about this. Life is not always easy, and the worst thing we can do is give up.

Marilyn is looking for whatever there is. N. Nov 8, 2009, 12:22am EST

True, lynn,

Life is mostly not easy, if we give up, it's usually harder.

lynn,

I just read your post about Domestic Violence - how did I miss that one? Wow, excellent!

This is wonderful! Where have you been? Been missing you!

Marilyn is looking for whatever there is. N. Nov 8, 2009, 12:21am EST

Me? Mostly not on Gather, other than the days I was a Writing Essential Editor, which I'm no longer doing. So much stuff to do here (home), that's taking up lots of time.

Kevin? You mean you've written things I haven't read yet? THAT will be remedied! :)
