I would like to add to my blog the name of a poetry site that gave me a break years ago before they went on the internet, in the past they have published endless poems i have written and might still remember me.
I won one of there top prizes and last Christmas they kindly sent to me a book called, The poppy fields. a beautiful book full of some of the best war poetry i have ever read. They will always be remembered by me.
http://forewardpress.co.uk/ They are much bigger now with places in america and all over, they have continued to grow.

Are all good writers eccentric?
I think that all real writers are eccentrics and loners even when they have familys. Not all bloggers are writers some fill there pages with pictures of there friends and family or places they have been. Some are clever with the graphics that melt out hearts to look at and make us want to go back to look again. I would like to combine graphic art and my poetry but at the moment this will have to do. But waiting in the wings is some one i know who does magical graphics who as told me when i am ready i can download some of her magic onto my pages and how proud i would be to do that hopefully in the near future. Thanks mary. To work together with some one like Mary to add the beauty that she creates to my pages of poetry would make for a magical site i would be proud of.
To be a writer you need a good imagination you just have to look at jk Rowlings, pages full of exciting things
nothing dull, always some thing new and exciting ,C.S Lewis and Narnia another wonderful example of a great imagination with a spiritual lift to it. Catharine Cookson my favourite author of adult stories writes from real life, earthy deeply involved stories of life in the north of england.

mixed up world.
Some people never see anything wrong in others or always can find some thing good in any one. Then there are the ones who see nothing good in any one except perhaps those they know well or there own family, and then there are some can not even see any good in there own familys.
There are the forgiving sorts who are rare and those who bare grudges, being the forgiving sort i am sorry for them they hate any one for just about any reason atall and never forgive, i know of people who do not know why they are full of hate. I thank god for the ability to be able to say hi to some one who as hurt me deeply and to put it aside and start again. If they will not meet me harf way then i can say i tried and my conscionce is clear. I am a better person than they are.
Some times its hard to see why a certain person is popular they are unforgiving, bad tempered, dishonist, and every thing one might hate but they have a lot of friends, or is it as my daughter says people are afraid of them so they do what they want.
What makes us what we are? I have always believed that its much easier to be a nice likeable person if life as been good to you. If every time in your life you struggle to get on with out the support of others you are not such a likable person. Some times we are unlucky with the sort of people we meet in life.
I was in church once a number of years ago and a boy sat at the back looking dirty and red eyed, whispers went around that he was a druggy. Whats he doing in here said one.? He has no right in here said another.
I think he had more right in that church than any one had. This is one reason i am not much of a church goer so many in church are self righeous. Another thing i remember was a couple i had never seen before in all my years teaching in sunday school arrived one day with a clock with there name on it. Mr and Mrs blabla have presented us with this wonderful clock ,they were never to be seen again but there name would do it all for them on the clock in the church, how hypocritical.
You have to need god to know him and many turn to all other things then one day when there is no one else they turn to god and god does not answer, would you?

other blogs
I never thought of myself as a nosey sort of person just the opposite but i have suddenly become absolutely carried away with the blogs that surround my blogs. I have found very imformative blogs on heart disease
and the asian film star community so i feel as though i am in very good company. Also i found a very impressive poetry site with not so impressive poetry but wonderful pictures. So i am enjoying finding other blogs i might never have found.

past efforts
Maybe i should mention my past blogs once again. http://hometown.aol.co.uk/gentine123/
The struggles of war. No middle name.
I was sorry it was not possible to access think you would have had a good free read about things that really did happen in wartime to women and children left behind to struggle.
My poetry was also for some reason unavailable on hometown after a lot of hard work but very enjoyable work i thought i was presenting to the world.

poets,graphic artists,story writers.
I love the opportunity that we are all given to put across our thoughts and feelings about things with blogging.
It is a great opportunity to get things of our chest so to speak, even make the world a better place as i try to do with my poetry. Who knows maybe finding like minded people, though i have already found some, poets, graphic artists ,and writers ,all women, and i am proud to be accepted into there fold where there are at least ninety women writers and artists.

I stand strong where i stand i have given my all and made this
a much better world.
Winter is just around the corner and soon i will not bloom again for many months.
I will sleep here where i lay as though i were dead.
I hope they will remember me and not dig me up.
when winter comes i am barely a stick in the ground, from stunningly beautiful
blooms and shiny green leaves i become nothing.
I fight back but i must rest until spring.
I am stripped of everything that i am. One might say i am dead and then i rise again.
everything is taken from me then given back to me in one giant swoop when spring comes again.
You will see what i mean i will come back stronger and more beautiful than ever, my scent will
be strong you will take me into your home to fill your room with beauty.
