I am crying yes crying why I hear you asking It is because I am moved by a poem on here So sadden by her words how could it come to this? a guiding light, a friend an inspirer of fine words Linda you were first to greet me it was you who smoothed my way gave me help and advice unselfishly introduced me to contests and more Poets should not fight like this WHO THE HELL GAINS? In The End NONE!! All LOSE no sparkle left just matt dim and dull Linda your words touch my soul more far more they inspire Never hang up your pen Return soon we need your love and input Always your friend and fan Shadow written in 2013

Shadow, this poem sits on my heart. I cried when I read this poem almost a month ago. My short vacation was not something I wanted, it was something I forced myself into. I treasure all the great friends I made. Each one has a special spot in my heart. You have a special spot. Can I share something with you, It felt strange calling you Shadow, (when you changed your name) Stranger calling you Linda, :) SO I had to bang my head over and over, until I got the Shadow love inside. You are very loving and , caring, I've seen it since you introduced M&M to us. Amazing he is by the way. I will try hard to stay away from the negative. All I wanted was love and support, instead all I got was a bunch of folks killing the spirit I own. I know, I know, I should have looked the other way. I will keep my spirit and chin up. Thank you for all the love and support. You truly are the greatest. I am happy and still remember the beautiful vibes you give when reading your poetry. xox~ Linda

your poem had me in tears when I read it and inspired this I was very emotional as I penned it but decided not to change a single words although it is very rough and could be polished MM is such a source of inspiration and help to me He made me the poet I am but still so much to learn yet let your beautiful spirit have free rein let your love flow hugs

A beautiful and touching write. Shadow, I don't know why, but It doesn't feel the same when logging on the soup, knowing my sister just took off like that. I can truly say, she took a certain joy with her. I know many are feeling the change. A few might smile, but 100 want her back. LOL, I got tons of soup, mails to prove it. Much of the mail I'm receiving right now are requesting that I convince Irma-Linda (aka-pd) to come back, and put all the bad vibes behind her. She is highly MISSED. She belongs here, many miss her contest, comments and the warm smiles found in her heart. As for me, I miss how active she made this place. Yes the soup is very much active. But, I noticed everyone's views have dropped, and many are missing in action. Now I see the DIM and DULL. Have a nice day. love ~SKAT~
