I have been away from FS for a while, but every time I pop into FS, I check for your writing. Thank you for all your support and encouragement. I still have my notes from the grammar class and all.. I learned so much from your reviews of my work here. Thank you! Your reviews were honest, polite and very uplifting. May God grant you a full recovery and many many more years with us. You are sorely missed. Warm regards, Chigysiski - | ||
I am praying for your health. You are such a gifted poet. Please get well soon. JMR (Virginia) - | ||
I had no idea you were ill - I presumed you were on an extended holiday. I am saddened to learn you have been ill and I hope your iminent recovery is very soon. I miss your wonderful, continued writing and am resorting to reading your earlier works, as a temporary fix. If you can and are so inclined, please write and tell me how you are. My email address is - evesayshi@yahoo.com. It would be so wonderful to hear from you. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and a very Happy and Healthy New Year...Eve - | ||

Congratulations. You have encouraged and helped so many of us. The award couldn't go to anyone more deserving. Debi - | ||

Wow! I can clearly remember my very first review from you. I was TERRIFIED!!!! Then I read your review. It was encouraging, helpful and complimentary. I can't tell you what that meant to the little greenhorn newbie I was at the time. I know that isn't a unique story too. No one could possible be more deserving of this great honor. It's about time!!!! Hugs, mikey - | ||

This is beth. I know a very talented rapper named Nicolas Lee Crider is top with no one to challenge him. He is on my rap site Beth Johnson redhead. If you could reach out to him and possibly offer a class or support I would be forever in your favor. He just became a dad! Sorry I couldn't figure out how to send a message. He's one of the best:)Congrats on your win. I may take a class again! - | ||

While we engaged in demonstrations and boycotts, we also organized rallies, gave speeches on college campuses and at church ladies' luncheons and for fraternal groups like the Lions and Elks clubs. We were guest speakers at high school assemblies and engaged in debates with representatives of the South African consulate and went on barnstorming tours, like one to Iowa before the caucuses to select presidential candidates. I edited a national newsletter, and we appeared on local talk shows as we traveled the country. So, as an activist, I was just as likely to address a luncheon of chamber of commerce members as I was to get arrested outside the South African consulate in NYC.

adewpearl: What a lovely Labor Day present, my 1000th fan :-) When I joined Fan Story I had no idea fans existed and still remember how cool it felt to receive notification of my first fan. Now I have fans in North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Europe and Australia. It blows me away to think my poetry is being read in Indonesia and Dubai and Ireland and South Africa and dozens of places I myself have never visited. I may be sitting in boring West Norriton township in the suburbs of Pennsylvania, but my poems have traveled the globe. Thank you to each and every fan. I'm sending each one of you a smile :-) |

What is your definition of the tanka poem? To be exact should there be conformity to the number of syllables per line eg 5-7-5-7-7or is it ok to be liberal with the count once you stay under 31 syllables? checked he sites but ant find anything specific. Could a tanka have syllable count of 4-6-5-4-7 - | ||

adewpearl: I have four classes starting in mid June. One is an introductory poetry writing class in Meter and Rhyme and one is a more advanced class in sonnets and other more complex forms. There is also a poetry appreciation class, Understanding Poetry, that I just loved teaching this past month. It requires no writing. And for you prose writers, there is a Grammar Tips/SPAG class. I would truly appreciate anyone who has been contemplating taking a class taking the plunge and registering. I promise you will get plenty of individual feedback. :-) |

adewpearl: Folks, do I have a recommendation for you. Zayd is the 4 year old son of Xylok. He dictates his poetry to his dad, who types it up for him. He wrote the coolest poem about a sea dragon who eats whales whole. It's a wonderful poem - I'd love it if he were 30. Please check this kid out and leave him a nice review. He has his very own membership, under Zayd. You'll be thanking me, I promise you. |

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. From The Paradoxical Commandments, by Dr. Kent M. Keith. Mother Teresa quoted this often. - | ||

I do hope you consider taking one or more courses. PM me with any questions. :-) |

You are in the 700's now, on the way to 777 - a much better number requiring no rescue. I was just wondering ... what would happen if all 700 plus fans turned up on your site at once?? Would the site crash?? :):):) Hugs xoxo - | ||

adewpearl: My 600th fan signed up today - that is just super cool! I remember the first fan I ever got when I was a new member, and I had no idea "fans" existed on this site until I read the PM notification. I just love being able to share my poetry with people from around the world and then reading their work in return. To all my fans, thank you so much for making my writing experience so much richer :-) Brooke |

adewpearl: I have posted starting dates for three classes in early May - the basic metered and rhymed poetry class, the more advanced formal poetry class, and one where you can learn to overcome all those pesky SPAG errors that plague so many writers. Even though I'm a poet on this site, I spent decades writing essays and teaching writing from the seventh grade level through advanced college courses, so I know more than a little about SPAG issues. LOL Check the announcements for available classes out :-) |

Unfortunately, one of my cats brought a live mouse in and dropped it in the kitchen. The mourse hid in the back of the cooker and bit something. End result? Crispy fried mouse and a bill for a new cooker. And no money for courses, sob. - | ||

when love and joy, are wove with cheer. Carolers, in the distant night, snowflakes falling, by candle light. Shy kisses, under the mistletoe, warmth inside, our hearts aglow. Hot cider, by the fireside, roasting nuts, as we confide. Watching the fire, dance in each otherâ??s eyes, gazing up at the moon, in the cold winter skies. Presents beneath, the Christmas tree, some for you, and some for me. So, Iâ??ll be home for Christmas, if only in my dreams. Merry Christmas - | ||

We had driven for many hours, most of it in total silence. We were drawing near to our destination. I was getting nervous. My stomach was in knots and sweat was forming on my brow. I had never taken anybody through the portal, to the nether world. It was my secret portal. My place of peace, my hiding place when things got bad. I had known Kristina for several years. I think I can trust her with my secret. Surely she would not tell anyone about the secret. At least I hoped down deep in my heart that she would not tell. She was a sensible woman. Tall, thin, with long curly Auburn hair and Green eyes. Everything a man could want. And there she was sitting in suspense not knowing where I was taking her. The only thing I would say was it was a beautiful place. I had not told her about the pristine lakes, virgin forests that ran on for hundreds of miles. Mountains and all the streams full of fish. Wildlife that had not seen humans and were not afraid of human presence. The thought of breaking my oath and actually bring someone else hereâ?¦.. Well we had finally arrived. We parked the car and got out. The cool afternoon air felt good, and helped me to come back to my senses. The Crickets were chirping in the bushes. The frogs croaking in the crystal blue pond. The last few Dragonflies of the day dancing across its smooth surface. The birds were slowly come back to their nests and were singing amongst themselves. The Sun was gliding through the trees on its way to sleep. We walked slowly hand in hand, talking about the weather, our homes, our jobs, and our lives together. We came to a little clearing in the woods. The last few golden rays of the sun were filtering through the trees. Well we areâ?¦ was all I could get out of my parched mouth. I felt my lips had been chaffed by the long hot summer days, Also the uncertainty as to whether or not if I could go through with it or not. I really hoped that Kristina liked the nether world. Where are we going she said with anticipation. Kristina didnâ??t like secrets, and this one had been eating away at her for some weeks now. I hope you enjoy this. It is just a start, but I thought I would get some feed back. - | ||

adewpearl: I'm happy to announce I now have a class listed at the site that begins the end of September - it's about using rhyme, meter and some basic poetic devices in poetry. I hope some of you consider taking it :-) |
