Having just visited both of your blogs I feel honored! (I did post the poem Dare liked next post and, as you'll see, it's very simple fare.)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-44001750059109902362008-12-01T23:23:00.000-08:002008-12-01T23:23:00.000-08:00Nice poem, nice post.Of course it makes me very mu...Nice poem, nice post.<BR/><BR/>Of course it makes me very much want to read that poem you wrote which Dare selected, so please do post it!<BR/><BR/>Blogrolled and feeding on you for my poetry needs now!Mainframeguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454637101257936425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-90011498549932387902008-11-30T01:40:00.000-08:002008-11-30T01:40:00.000-08:00Lisa,I ordered TORN BY LIGHT and will check first ...Lisa,<BR/>I ordered TORN BY LIGHT and will check first off for her poem about Dare. Lily (above) may want me to scan a copy of that poem, so I'll email both of you for addressses. Your friend is a concern. I had a cousin suicide when he was 27 back in the early 80s; it was horrible. Oregon's Sen. Gordon Smith (the only R that I voted for, but he lost this time) and his wife lost their college-age son to suicide and, as a result, he was responsible for a suicide prevention bill that became law and that carries his son's name. Check Amazon for REMEMBERING GARRETT by Gordon Smith. There is a "look inside" thingy there. <BR/><BR/>Please see my comments to Jennifer concerning my poem. It's not even that good; it just appealed to Dare de Longchamps in that time and place.....Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-21577152018804173072008-11-29T22:42:00.000-08:002008-11-29T22:42:00.000-08:00What a startling way to "see" Mumbai, and to "hear...What a startling way to "see" Mumbai, and to "hear" this poet! You really MUST post your poem, Lydia.<BR/>a side-note:<BR/>I got chills when I saw you mentioned a suicide. I cannot explain the exact nature of my "chills", but I know a young woman having a hard time of it currently, and we are all frightened of what she may do. I'd want to read the poem from that poet-mother to her son,hoping to glean insight.Lisa Nanette Allenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263158091013515471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-80572477911240159112008-11-29T02:55:00.000-08:002008-11-29T02:55:00.000-08:00Lily,I am not sure, but I think it's "Letters to D...Lily,<BR/>I am not sure, but I think it's "Letters to Dare." In an anthology of poems of mourning (online) she is referenced with that one and another "Poems for the Dead,24"<BR/>Tonight I ordered the book TORN BY LIGHT from Amazon. I hope the poem will be in there and I'll email you about possibly sending a scanned copy of the poem to you.<BR/><BR/>Jennifer,<BR/>One, I feel silly posting my poem because it is extremely simple. Not an earth-shattering example of angst or beauty, but really plain. But because Dare chose it as his favorite from the stack I may put it out there in his memory.<BR/>Two, she was how you described her. And yes this poem seemed to fit now.<BR/>Three, wow it sure isn't a common name - I think it's a wonderful name.<BR/><BR/>Little Bird,<BR/>I agree. Thanks for being here.<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth,<BR/>Yes, that photo took my breath away and broke my heart. As the poem certainly did. Please read my comments to Jennifer above concerning my poem.... :)Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-29761954989963655692008-11-28T15:56:00.000-08:002008-11-28T15:56:00.000-08:00oh wow - photo and poem.

The poem does fit the event, doesn't it.jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07959874504681715396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039445774186145767.post-1981237729423154912008-11-28T09:39:00.000-08:002008-11-28T09:39:00.000-08:00Part of me wants to read the poem de longchamps wr...Part of me wants to read the poem de longchamps wrote about her son & part of me doesn't. do you happen to know the title of it?dianasfaria.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488357854017358868noreply@blogger.com
