DANCINGHAWK, YOU DO GO THROUGH A THOROUGH PROCESS OF WRITING FROM PEN AND PAPER TO ..................???)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))),,,,,,,,,,,,,.lol I WRITE ON PAPER, THEN I TRANSFER TO MY COMPUTER, AND BACK -UP ON THUMB-DRIVE. THEN EDIT AND RE- EDIT , THEN WHEN I AM SATISFIED, I PRINT AND STORE HARD COPIES . TWO PEOPLE AROUND THE CAMPFIRE TELLING STORIES!!! MMM !! I USED TO BE A BOY SCOUT ! HAPPY MEMORIES !! I have a strong intuiton that the Biblical story of a seven-day Creation originated with old Jewish sages telling stories to the young around a camp fire, in their nomadic days. Stories of Israel were oral until Moses learnt to write. Last edited by cousinsoren 10-16-2009 at 08:09:32 PM |

They are prone to check your blood type . before they take your blood . Worse, they are now testing blood for HIV, before performing nightly blood transfusions. I'm wonderfing why mosquitoes perform blood transfusions at night, in the dark. Why don't they during the day,so that we can see them at work? I am told where to locate vampires, I can't post the information until I have had it verified, in some poetry of blood, that I intend to read. Cousin, I like that, it gives me inspiration. thank you, Yes, please visit my friends. I'll have to go read your poems, Alexia. Last edited by PoetsofBlood 10-17-2009 at 01:50:56 AM |
The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
