"Bugger the "Group" mentality. I say burn it up with a revolutionary act, start your own Group. If you didn't exist, there would be no world. You are your own world, your own Cosmos, you are luminescent, keep on shining - the people who matter will move towards your light. Leave the other befuddled fools walk in the dark holding hands, following tails like sheep. This is a fantastic expression of your individuality. Always keep speaking your TRUTH." LLB "Bedknobs, Bell Curves and a Broomstick" Words of wisdom sitting in bed reading a story from another person's head A short story titled "At the Edge of the Bell Curve" registers ding ding ding this is a mind worthy to swim Everyone has a story some breathing fire flying courageous Majestic saving people outspread Dragon Wings Others are just walking talking milk and honey Love-Ins tap tap tapping seeking numbers for competitive wins Heroic Acts of pulling hidden courageous minds up from the road cracks Now, that's pure, GOLDEN This is the true story Blue Birds singing for honey and flapjacks hidden pearls are the gems... now there's no turning back ever again - your REAL STORY begins.

I'm just a novice Silent One. But thank you for your generous compliment. I'm no poet. I like to write stories. This is just another avenue. And a place to refine my writing skills. Thank you.

Thank you. I was inspired by a short story ...or two, I read here in the Soup pages yesterday. It is now 3am here, so I'm turning in. I must read your stories too. Over and out for now. Leanne

Dear Leanne, A great poem merging various and contrasting planes of reference, maybe with an imagist touch. Thank you for your recent comment on my poetry. A good new year! Julian

Great poem Leanne. We need more heroic acts. Great words. This is truth and a pleasure to read at the same time.
