To-Susan, From-Natalie

Her poetry is edgy

She is untamed…fierce…tempestuous

She will not sell herself short and conform… 
but is able to when needs to or she feels like it

She writes about everything from teddy bears to Viagra

She has a positive soul and a friendly demeanor

She is amazingly creative! 

And she even has a way to get very conservative members to make
positive comments on naughty dr. office poems :)

The contests she sponsors are wild, feral, and brilliant

She is not afraid to tell it like it is

She is passionate….She is luminous

She is Susan Burch…and she is my hero!

I don't know about hero, but I like the rest of it! Thank you for the kind words. I have been really depressed lately and this cheered me up :) It was really very touching, so thank you again, and congrats on your win. (p.s. I thanked you again in a rondeau I just wrote, so hopefully you will get a good idea of how it effected me. it was nice to matter.)

don't worry about susan, with what she said she STOMPED my head and let me know she was'nt losen. when she said jouirnal. i knew she was from the old school. so i can't offer her any advice unless she's really young. but she's packing very well as far as i am concerned. nice tribute. you have a good mentor. but dont do what she does unless your as good as her. T.S.
