Just out of the blue.<BR/><BR/>Ha! I'm so grateful for this recognition, this validation.<BR/><BR/>Maybe how Angie'll believe her talent is real.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>MA<BR/><BR/>P.S. I'm grateful I don't have to do this kind of drawing/painting/writing. It makes me nervous as a tick. No rules, you see.

Those poems are just hiding away inside text, already-written-poems, prose, etc....waiting for you to ferret them out, circle them, and add a bold background. Hey, kinda like life! You've got the surface stuff going on that everyone sees, and the secret interior doing its own thing. ;)Angie Ledbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407006980893727627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751877036536774816.post-59354254382511372072008-08-18T08:12:00.000-04:002008-08-18T08:12:00.000-04:00And you, Angie, are an inspiration, besides being ...And you, Angie, are an inspiration, besides being creative and talented.
