Where are all the poets?

[grannyjill]

Oh, thank goodness for that. Here you all are. But why are you all being so nice to me? I deserve a good slap. There I was on your site, a newbie (despite the 'senior member' moniker) throwing a wobbly over nothing.

As to guilt (Leanne) I'm not catholic but, I imbibed guilt with my mother's milk and have been feeling terrible ever since I posted and got the first response from Todd.

But, it has all ended happily.
(I know what you mean about 'guests' all my kids and families live nearby and they pop in, and stay, and stay, and stay....I give a sigh of relief as they leave...then look around and the house looks 'like the wreck of the Hesperus' as my dear departed mother used to say)

Hope you all forgive me for my outburst.

I can understand the way you feel, Jill, (I rhyme even when I'm trying not to) but you just have to be patient. Billy is a huge part of what makes this site a success and not having him around is part of the sluggishness. I try to post when I can, but to be honest, some days I don't have time.

I'm very impressed with the way you've contributed to this site during a slow spell- I'm sure everyone has noticed. Thanks for being such a great person. Stick it out and you'll be neck deep poetry and crit before you know it. After all, it's the holidays. A lot of people are really busy(not me) this time of year. Most people have their families(I don't) to celebrate and visit with(call me) but not Mark! Not Avaricious Apathist! I digress(your pic is cute )

Okay, screw it. I'll just lay my cards on the table. If you leave the site, I will kill a small dog with a hand grenade. There- I said it. You'll have to live with your decision.

.....oh, no don't do that. Please, reconsider. I bet hand grenades are expensive, and it would make an awful mess - you'd have spattered dog all over the walls and everything. Wouldn't a small knife be just as effective? I'm not leaving anyway....I was bluffing. bye grannyjill (and I still love you)
