You don't need to spend time worrying that you poetic voice isn't what it used to be. It is there, just the connection is not what it was. I am so many times better than I was last month, I swear it. I had great teachers who got me so far and I love them for getting me here.<BR/><BR/>Recently I've met new people to talk to and learn from. All of you and your friends have helped me. The new ideas and connections, it's what I needed next. You see me; I'm just inspired, that's all. And I write a lot. You would too, but you do have your life to take care of and work that demands attention. But you can get a couple lines. Never force them, just write something and leave it. You'll totally come back if it demands changing and you will have your poem. I want to see yo do what you want, and that's express your every emotion in poetry. Don't feel caged. You have wings. Use them a bit each day. <BR/><BR/>And your poem at the Corner is very good. I'm glad you have the thread, as well. Talk to you soon. I'm busy, but I'll be around to write, later on.<BR/>Thanks for your support of the arts found all over the place, Barb. Talk to you later.eric1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/13807078704660045859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26137134.post-35922845964538067602007-06-29T08:01:00.000-07:002007-06-29T08:01:00.000-07:00Have a great weekendHave a great weekenddawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741158153974994260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26137134.post-35763784872888217172007-06-29T01:39:00.000-07:002007-06-29T01:39:00.000-07:00and I posted a bit ago.

I don't really want any of my own, so she's more than good enough. She's just the most talkative little girl, too. I know she'll be a writer, I can just tell already.<BR/><BR/>I'm so happy for you, Barb. Familly is the greatest single blessing we have. Glad you were able to add to that blessing. <BR/><BR/>And I hope you find that time to write. Just grab the thread and run with it, just like you did with other poems.

For one thing, as you've said before, her mama is still a child herself. So, I'm sure you're feeling torn between adoring a perfectly precious new little being, and feeling sad that your step-daughter went and had a child at such a young age. Don't beat yourself up, but don't forget that now you get to learn about this new little girl for who SHE is, not only how she came into this world.<BR/><BR/>(((((HUGS))))) Glad to hear that you got to hold your grandbaby.Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18312698112377656801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26137134.post-33696752538564031292007-06-28T09:50:00.000-07:002007-06-28T09:50:00.000-07:00Bet you feel rather old too!Bet you feel rather old too!SpongyBoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427619398593084574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26137134.post-72895744557950149712007-06-28T04:14:00.000-07:002007-06-28T04:14:00.000-07:00I think what you need is a huggy back...so here..*...I think what you need is a huggy back...so here..<BR/><BR/>*hug* ...tight...<BR/><BR/>you'll be all right..Lady Prismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04333352060797182573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26137134.post-82535994067465933812007-06-28T00:57:00.000-07:002007-06-28T00:57:00.000-07:00Oh, Sweet Lady, a new generation has entered, hasn...Oh, Sweet Lady, a new generation has entered, hasn't it?
