WEll here it is my poem...... the real world by Chrisie Ambert the flowerchild angel - ----------------------------------- we are writting songs, about chapters in our lives. some chaptrs are filled with joy and laughter and some are filled with tears and sadness. we`re told we`re sad angels, we know we`re not, we take time out to think about what`s going on around,in the real world. we make sense out of the madness of this crazy world. we find happiness in the middle of all the fear, that this world can cause. i choose to write about my expiriences, the good,the bad and the greatest emotions love and hurt,hapinness and joy. it helps me deal with life itself. i drown in music, i live my poems but most of all i write about me dealing with loving other. well that`s it for now,i want to say hi to everyone lara,naomi,sam ,james,jamie,jenny and of you that i can remember your names but i will soon i promise...oh and shawn...you guys are the best writer,poets and friends.. love you all, OXXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX Christie The Flowerchild Angel Get your FREE, private e-mail account at http://www.mailcity.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 09 May 1998 13:19:11 -0700 From: Lara Subject: ET: My poetry site and other stuff Hey guys!

I just found out this morning that I have a six year old sister named Diane who is living with her father, a man my mother had an affair with. I knew when she was pregnant, but had assumed it was my father's. My mother told me she had died right after she was born. I don't know what to do. Part of me wants to hunt up Diane and see what she's like. I mean, she's my sister, I think I should have that right, don't you? But another part of me knows I should leave this alone and not mess with old hurt feelings that have settled. I can't decide. Any suggestions?

Most of you may not know this, but while this IS Lara's list, I volunteered to 'operate' it until I could train her on the ways of majordomo and how to control the way this list runs software-wise. (There's MANY options) I am sure some are now asking...."OK Mike, but what does this have to do with the fact that I am now getting the digest and loose mail versions of eda-thoughts?" That's a d*mn good question. In the "welcome to EDA Thoughts" file that you got when you were subscribed, I mentioned that after a week on digest, you could go to loose mail if you wish (but also mentioned that if you can stick it out, please stick with digest). However, since the volume of this list isn't too much, right now there's no concern at all on the volume, so if you all had gone to loose mail, would be fine with the folks at smoe.org. Last Tuesday, I noticed that out of maybe 80 folks on this list, only TWO had subscribed to loose mail after the week waiting period. I figgered the most of you forgot that you could move to loose mail, so it was ME who added you *all* to loose mail. Why I didn't just write to this list announcing the loose mail was available, well...I don't know.....must be I need stronger medicine ;-) So, if any of you wish to drop one of the versions, do the following: To drop digest, send the two line command unsubscribe end to eda-thoughts-digest-request@smoe.org to drop loose mail, send the SAME two line command to eda-thoughts-request@smoe.org If you have any problems, please do not hesitate to email me. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Mike :-) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 09 May 1998 17:23:48 -0500 From: vonfam@rapfire.net Subject: ET: me Hey Guys~! I hope everyone is well. Sorry this is so short...here's a few poems.. :) Truly~ Naomi ~the unknown angel~ naomisplace@angelfire.com - ------------------- I'm supposed to feel good about myself But not be concieted I'm supposed to believe it when called beautiful and not be vain For me, it's a grey area and I can't distinguish one from the other I can't feel beautiful without feeling egocentric. It's not that I don't want to understand, I just don't understand. 5-9-98 **the last two lines are from Jewels '501 Beauty Queen'** - ----------------- memories past Retracing paths from memories past You pack your things and hesitantly turn to leave These walls, have seen so much So much has happened, so much has changed in the course of one short year Sadly you admit, it's time to go With one last look at these four walls that witnessed laughter, love, crying, hurt the transformation of your soul You smile, remembering and finally turn to leave but you know you'll be back one day, when you're retracing paths, from memories past. 5-8-98 - ------------------ As the days flow into one another I see so many faces dark hair, light hair tall and short none of them is me in this sea of a thousand faces i'm drowning in their vanity paper thin models with rubber stamp smiles with "the perfect body" and flawless skin none of them is me 4-18-98 ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 9 May 1998 21:24:54 EDT From: Luv2parT4 Subject: ET: Hi Everyone! Hello all you beautiful Angels! I wanted to share some poems with all of you. I wrote the first one during a little suicidal period in my life. I'm a lot better now but still at a recovering stage. I wrote the second one a few months ago as I felt my best friend drift away. We aren't friends anymore and it upsets me, but I'll be okay without her, I think. I hope you enjoy them. If you have any feedback or suggestions, you can write me personally. I would love to hear from you! Al*the*Rain*Angel "This is the end, beautiful friend. This is the end, my only friend, the end." - -Jim Morrison - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - ---------------------------------------------- Over the Rail Climbing over the rail, Looking down to the ground, Such a long way down. Feel your shoes slipping, Scared to fall, But scared to live. Remember all you love, So scared, so sad. As the tears fall down, Down so far, You climb back over the rail. Untitled My old friend has changed I know her less everyday As she slowly floats away To her new, uncaring world Where the smoke flows freely And so do the concerns Tears of blood drop down In a puddle of red agony On the floor below But they are not her tears For she does not feel Anymore. ------------------------------ End of eda-thoughts-digest V1 #20 *********************************
