a dose for Arzel

okay okay you asked for it

She asked us for a dose --
apparently Eric
didn't quite
measure up --
a dose
a dollop
a drizzle
a drop
Confidence
let's just say
your writing
is clever
your writing
is quick
your writing
is insightful
sometimes
bitter
sometimes
sweet
but it's
always
a treat
and
always
         A Joy.
                    You knew I was going to end it that way, didn't you?

Beautiful write dear.....intresting.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you. It was personal and off the cuff, for Arzel -- she is feeling better now.

[Cassie]

Her poetry is always a joy to read and I always look forward to reading them.

[Lyn Anderson]

Well, pass along an encouraging note. She then apologized for making her "problem" public. Isn't that what we do in here?

[Blue]

Thank you, Cassie! And KL, you have a point. :)

[Frieda P]

I'm not in on the joke apparently, but nonetheless this is great drizzle and I adore Arzel! Good you didn't end it on a blue note, just saying. ;-)

[Lyn Anderson]

Arzel is struggling a bit with her writing confidence and Eric wrote her one and so did I.

[Frieda P]

Seriously? That kid has it going on...

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, she has been feeling blue.

[Frieda P]

I could never write that way when I was 18, mostly teenage angst and stuff...

[Blue]

What did you write about when you were 18, mother? :) Thank you for your uplifting words. :)

[Blue]

KL, I'm recovering now. You guys have been of great help. Thank youuuu. ;)

[Lyn Anderson]

That is great, and glad to help. I will send you three read requests of stuff I wrote when I was your age.:) I don't know if Frieda has any of her younger days posted. Sounds like not.

[Blue]

Haha. We'll see. Maybe she'll stun us with a surprise.

[Jack...]

Geez, I didn't get a poem... :(

Nice one KL. Blue is such a sweetheart and deserves all of the praise and encouragement we can send her.

Blue...you are loved.

[Blue]

Thank you, Jack. You are a sweet soul. :)

[Blue]

Eric had done more than enough and I am grateful for his kindness. :) Aww. This poem is amusingly clever. How did you write this in just a short span of time? :P Thank you, KL. You punctuated this with a comical last line and sent a stream of positive vibes within me. Thank you, thank you.

Anyway, did you rebel against the administration that's why they banned you from sending RRs and labeled all your poems "Mature"? :)


I just realized it was tactless of me to have publicized my problem and I am sorry I made you guys worry.

[Lyn Anderson]

Not a problem. I was just jesting with Eric, and therefore I think he will take it that way, and I sent it to him as well. I have always had trouble with Read Requests, a lot of times they do not work. And as for the mature rating thing, there are two camps -- those who think it is just a bug or a glitch, and those who think someone reported my "obscene writing" and got me spanked for it. I really don't know. What I would appreciate is some answers, an explanation, and a correction.

[Blue]

Why hasn't Eric commented on this poem, I wonder? :) And I don't think your poems are obscene for you to deserve that. Has the administration done something so far?

[Lyn Anderson]

I am not sure, maybe he is just busy. I haven't talked to him actually, and yes, I had my ban lifted, but I am not allowed to write anything remotely suggestive without a MATURE tag, so I must be super careful.

[Blue]

Ohh, must be hard. I'll watch my steps from now on, too.
