...call me crazy but a group of strangers who've never seen my face or heard my voice just doesn't qualify as family. You're probably the only person on this site I hoped would understand. I feel weird here and I think I'm about ready to stop checking my email a thousand times a day. sorry if this was tmi, at any rate take care and maybe we'll run into each other in the real world some day...

Hi Brian. I was looking for more recent posts but noticed you weren't active for a while. I'm in a similar position myself, not much left to write but still check back here every now and then. Thanks for your comment on my recent and possibly last work. To be honest I'm started to feel alienated from all the happy good cheer this site exudes all the time. Every one here is so convinced we're supposed to be some loving family. I don't feel that way and I never have....

You seem to have much in terms of both heart and brains, Brian, and you're lucky to have wings that allow your poetry to soar. Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn

Dear Brian, Definitely interesting, and as a fan who loves what you do with pen and paper, I would call you an intellectual who knows how to create a line and give it direction. This is very clever and just shows your big brain.
