An eskimo kiss for my new friends
who have set up camp in my skin,
and ever so gently,
goodbye Ignorance.

You have a great heart for being a good friend to those in need.

May the love you show to others always come back to you when you are in need.

This struck a cord in me. My friend was suicidal for a while, and she still bears the scars. I drew a dotted line down my vein, with a little pair of scissors, like the cut here symbol. She didn't like that, though. But we got it straightened out. I like your stuff.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
