| Posted by Junemarie Roldan on 07/25/06 at 01:32 AM Your writing is on fire with that no compromising hold that you have on it. Your poetry is so pure and truthful, that I am humbled in the face of it. You are one unique woman, any person on earth would be lucky to have you. If only you knew that, no, I mean really knew that. |
| Posted by Sandy M. Humphrey on 07/25/06 at 05:53 PM Barring smoking in bars seems like an oxymoron to me because of the two vices drinking or smoking which is likely to land you in more peril if done in excess....and once again you have the best titles...provactive read...smh. :) |
| Posted by Julie Adams on 07/26/06 at 03:28 PM the sassy title captured my interest at once, and still this poem managed to turn the cynical tide, reaching great emotional depths, far beyond my shallow humor-based expectations... this piece talks to its readers, reverberates like rain on the soul...most impact for me came in the first and last stanzas, it works well as a whole, though I am interested in perhaps another stanza or a part 2...eager to read more, really...thanks for sharing this, peace to you and happy writings, jewels |

Yar! D:< What will happen is different from the message that's sent, that's different from the reality of people's lives, and quite separate from the fact that so much more could really be done... grrarr. |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 08/02/06 at 02:31 PM As a recent ex-smoker, this piece really says it all. II am for letting people act the way they want (with in some parameters). I oppose the smoking ban. This is very well written and thought provoking. Congrats on POTD! They made an excellent choice! |
