Exactly! Thank you for coming over to comment, Silent One...( and for not being silent!) When others dont have all the facts, it's easy to make a " Judgement Call... Assumptions are presumptuous, and make one guilty of slander...I'm no angel, but I refuse to be "devilish..." Bullying is a symptom of low self esteem.

love-love-love this.... I do a lot with spacing and shaping myself, and this is awesome. It also gives insight into my sometimes weird brain that produces what you just wrote down. Did I already say I love this? :-0 :) ..... |><{{{">

:D love that you came over to reply, Darren- I know I went a little crazy with this one, ( maybe my "jazzy" brain has got something to do with it..??) I love free form, gives us the s-p-a-c-e-s- to fly...love rhyme too, yet find I have to think hard to give both forms my best shot >>>>> (((Hugs)))
