Ive had people laugh at me in the past so thats why! sorry if i do sound niave and stupid but its really nerve racking on her...some people just flame at you for no good reason!
Anyway let me know if you would like to see some....just please dont laugh!
lots of love

Don't be afraid to express yourself! I believe that most of us can bask in whatever you choose to reveal, and perhaps offer up advice for improving in a non-insulting way. If anyone flames, it won't be taken kindly by the majority, I believe... none of us are Shakespeare, Whitman, Bukowski, or Keats, after all, but never-the-less our visions/intentions/expressions are just as relevant as theirs, when you boil it down...

and let me add this, many readers might not relate to the cryptic wordiness and sophisticated technique that some possess, but they will relate to the simpler emotions and thoughts that others post.... so i say, post away!

...(and that's a beautiful painting in your sig)....

Thumbs up Fulmah! And Ellied, worry not, we're all a nice bunch.

Yeah Ellie give us some poetry :) I didn't know you wrote any poetry. Whats it about?

[littleskinny]

Fulmah hit the nail on the head...post away, we'd love to read it and have another creative spirit in our happy little band!:)

yeah, deffinitely post...theres only been kind people here as of late that I noticed and if any assholes that crop up, well believe me, lol, we can recognize them for what they are and so should you. Don't let fear stop you from expressing yourself. Fear of what might be can keep you tied and bound from new experiences. Also don't let it deter you if you don't get alot of responses.

be nervous when there's a gun to your head,
not when you're a thousand high-speed miles down the info-superhighway away from real people imagining you're as imaginary to them as they are to you so what they hey eh we're all just figments of this computers imagination if you can't be brave here, well...

Bright Blessings.

When I started writing everything was so intense and personal...
and it still is.

I understand being shy about opening your heart to others.
However, the risk of sharing opens the door for not only misunderstanding
but also for love. A nervous thrill to see what happens...
