Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 Hey Mace, This eye-of-beholder likes your prose, too! -Greg At 09:19 AM 9/1/00 -0700, Mace Mealer wrote: Gee, thanks, about this time my over inflated ego wants to say something deeply mysterious and profound, but the truth is much simpler and more mundane. I am nobody special, I'm probably a lot like yourself, except more dull, less intelligent, with a large number of vices and character flaws. I couldn't even complete this short note without using spell check several times. The stuff I write really does, pretty much write itself, and there is a lot of it that I don't particularly care for. However, I do like the one above, it was a challenge to bring it back from that "Place" that we all go from time to time, that is also always "Here". You know, I've had comments both positive and negative about this stuff, and it always seems that its an "eye of the beholder" thing ultimately and when we see beauty its our own being reflected back.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2000 Report Share Posted September 1, 2000 Ahhh Mace, Well, thank you for the wonderful compliment, because I see enormous beauty in your mirror-poetry. Some of the best I have ever read!! (please keep 'em coming) and stop in yourself now and then as I think your personal post is an important contribution as well. I write a little poetry now and then too and the only stuff that I like is that for which I essentially get out of the way. anyway, after loving your poetry posts, it's nice to also meet you! (and thanks to Jerry for flushing you out of the undercover) Love, Mark Mace Mealer wrote: > > > GCWein1111 wrote:<< > > > Time to get off this > > endless carousel. > > We have more > > than we need > > of these brass rings. > > Come with me, > > We'll go out > > and dance > > in the rain > > to the music > > of the thunder > > until our skin wrinkles, > > and then > > by the fire, > > under a quilt > > of stars, > > we'll share our > > secret > > love > > stories. > > > > Mace > > >> > > > > l don't have a clue who you are, Mace, but l thought l'd finally > say that > > l do read -- and thoroughly enjoy -- all of these poems. > jerrysan > > > > Gee, thanks, about this time my over inflated ego wants to say > something > deeply mysterious and profound, but the truth is much simpler and > more > mundane.
