Hi Vanessa! Welcome to the grope. I mean group. :o

Hi Zoleth! I like that name. Zoleth. Zoleth. Heh heh, that's really fun to say. Zoleth. You'll have to excuse me, I think it's time for my medication. Welcome!

Hi Nicola! I've been a member now for one full week, and I can honestly say, "What was I thinking?" :D No, seriously, everyone has been very nice... well... so far... ;) Anyway, welcome, from the smartass kid with the bad rep.

Raven, I read Peace Like a River a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it. All the characters, the dad, Rueben and Swede, they all rang true to me. I loved the way he blended the spiritual aspect into the story. I can't wait to see what he does next either. Btw- after I read it, I then...

That's the one!

Raven, just keep letting your freak flag fly, brother! :)

This is a hard one. I have lots of favorites and I know I'm forgetting some but I would have to say these for sure: The Kiss - Anton Chekhov The Distance of the Moon - Italo Calvino The Chrysanthamums - John Steinbeck Plus, I like lots of recent ones I've read by Alice Munro, Charles...

Whew... that wasn't so bad. :) Thanks once again, Writer, for your comments. You have such a good ear. As for the specific ones: I used that one repeating line to help tie the poem together. Maybe it doesn't need that after all. And, I'm not familiar with the Nickelback reference...

Congrats to the boys! :D Sounds like you did QUITE well! :) Then that is what we'd give.. well, I guess I can only speak for myself, but I would hope ... I don't know, I mean, I know how you feel. I've sat on that edge before, too. :(

*winces* Oh oh. That doesn't sound good. :) All of them. please. Be honest.... well... within reason. Thanks.

I think this is a good poem, but this talk about musicals got me to thinking as I was rereading it. It is a good poem, but with a few tweaks, it could be a really DYNAMITE song lyric. Maybe use that fouth stanza, "Because sadness moves ..." as a repeating chorus. Stella, do you play an...

Thanks, you guys. Your encouragement really means more than you probably realize. :)

Okay, what was the last music you bought or downloaded? I'll start. Yesterday I bought Olivia Tremor Control's Dusk at Cubist Castle. It's not new, but I just now got around to buying it. Lots of bright, jangly psychedelic rock. I think it'll be great for driving in the car this summer with...

So, how did it go? Did your team win? How did YOU do? Please fill us all in. You know, your answers to my questions about your novel only whetted my appetite... (may I have some more, please?) :)

Wabbit!!!! That is VERY nice. VERY nice! My favorite line is "I like its wild peace." Wish I'd written it. :)

Writer, you can tuck it anywhere you like. ;) And, no, I just wrote it as an answer to your post. So, it doesn't have a title. Since, it was for a writing exercise which you proposed and inspired, allow me to invite you to title it. I would be honored. :)

A FATHER TELLS HIS SON Look for the one who Glances openly at you across The crowded coffee bar. Look for the one who Dances barefoot on the cool wood floor. Like the free raven Dark in her dark motion, Look for the one who Soars nightly across the memory of your day. She is the...

Maybe I'm just weird but I like to pour just a tad of maple syrup into my grits. Yum.....

Really? That obvious? :o My apologies. So... are you hitting on Wabbit? :D Just kidding!

And one more thing, Martin. Just because TMG comes across in her posts as smart, funny, intellectually stimulating and extremely talented, why would a guy want to hit on her? ;)
