thanks linera.. its very kind of you to message me. I'm glad you are the first too after voting for 'a very very short poem' the fact that you get it too means so much to me. I hope my poems dont make you feel too sad but there are one or two really nice ones about being in love, lol. I luv your profile page. kind of agree with the not liking over use of 'I' lol but it has its place huh.. take care. tim
