Great Diamante I never realized you had such conflicting feelings about the same person whose name we won't mention. The most important thing is you won another first place in another contest, so what if you trashed a good friend at least you have your priorities in order. I'll bounce back somehow so don't worry. Congratulations on your first place win.

By the way it is only the poems new that will not let you access poems. I just go to my fav poets and access you that way. OOOO that last line sounded sexually deviant in a good way.

Jan Allison
Date: 11/7/2014 4:09:00 PM

ha ha ha am laughing at the innuendo here:-) Hugs jan xx

That pretty well sums it up. Relationships. They start out great and end up in the gutter. All relationships end up in the gutter but the good ones are looking up at the stars. I have to attack this form. Good Job, excellent idea.
