Hey all ya beautiful angels... this has been schedualed a long time ago and it was promised again and re-promised... and still it passed a while and now finally here they are... Applaudings #5 for the poems posted last year in digests 250 through 300... there was an enormous amount of poetry... some of them were enchanting... and here are my faves... Applaudings by Dr. RomeAntic Applaudings this time go to: (remember below mentioned works are just those the-best IN MY OPINION, which does not mean the rest is crap... but that either they didn't get through to me... or I didn't think they were as good as these below! Numbers in brackets are the numbers of the DIGEST where the poems can be found) "Naomi" for "barefoot" (#251), "Epicurean" (#268), "Inspiration comes" (#268), TOS "it's bubbling" (#268), TOS "he's a little dayglow" (#278),"snakeskin"(#289),"identity"(#289), "truth or dare" (#289), "noon" (#294) - "identity": the big important process of figuring out who you are wouldn't be the same without missinterpretations and missjudgments by the second and third party. However figuring it out for yourself ain't easy at all... especially cause you're changing faster than you can comprehend what is happening. From days of superiority to days of humilty attacks - the image you reflect to yourself ceaslesly changes... and it is very important that you're OK with it - cause being without knowing what you are is meaningless... so even if you're a "helpless" mouse or warrior princess or just a giggle it is important to know - so you can understand! And the choice and variety of that in this poem is rich, serious, innocent and very heart felt! "Summer" for "Funny" (#263), "Honeysuckle" (#282) - "Funny": Tables will turn!! You should think about that every time you're doing something undecent or are the one being treated badly. Two points need be taken: - stand up for yourself let yourself not be a toy - too many relationships suffer from one sided affection - and that humbelness and weekness may result in abouse and cause severe damages for the future When such a person changes their ways and get stronger it may really seem mighty funny - how easily everything could be different... however they are not always the victims in some cases their attitude is the reason for bad relationship, but that breaks the bounds of this poem... that wonderfully shows the results of the awakening! "Kat" for "Mother May I" (#266), "The Front Seat Of His Car" (#266), "will you stand gaurd over my dreams?"(#270),"Silence"(#291), "Fade Away" (#293), "Missing" (#293) - "Fade Away": I guess once upon a time every one of us stumbles against hope that won't go away... you don't even want to hope anymore, but you just can't help it... When it finally dawns on us (for a right or wrong reason) that it makes no more sense, we always start blaming ourselves for everything and once that stage is over we blame it on the world... "that's just the way it is"... all that is not necessarily true... it's all in the circumstances and real feelings that needed be justified and fulfilled and if NOW is not possible--- hope provides reasurment for the future... but things just tend to get complicated and the pain that comes with that should not be absorbed alone... unfortunately most of the time it be that way... "Jackie" for "Spider" (#266) The passion of this poem totally overtook me... the silent and undoubted sacrifice of an existence in expectation of merging with the object of admiration is just incredibly presented... awarness of being the prey is just not enough of a reason to confront the magic and sweet maddness... Unfortunately many times these kind of things end up bad... but if they are presented this way with such choice of words and passionate tension... how can anybody resist... mmmmmm.... "Sam" for "coffe cat" (#268), "Red As Roses (Sweet September)" (#268), TOS "suppose I should halt" (#269), "tales of a heart-strung love poem" (#269), TOS "when you get this letter" (#285), TOS "a man in a peppered beard" (#296) - - "tales of a heart-strung love poem": Does it get any more romantic... probably... there might be sweeter ways of expressing love, need and purpose of existing... but would not achieve anything more... as this brings up tears along with the words one once upon a time wanted to say or hear... or did. Even though a line or two may be products of in the heat of the moment writing and carry nothing... are completely lost if you let yourself feel it... cause if flows and soothes and caresses so sweetly... "Niki" for "Fake" (#269) "Someday someone will Get tired of dusting you off" These two lines are the core of difference between real and fake... fake is a product that needs constant improving, grooming or fixing for it to last while real things exist and get by on their own... more or less successfully but at least they're independent in their basic existance and it's really always a question of time... when one gets fed up with disadvantages of fake... no matter how much better it looks, performs, feels... it's just not worth it... especially if it's like in this case an undercover project... "Seth" for "Mirage" (#295) Although awkwardly structred and thus destroying it's own rhythm that is nicely started at the beginning and making it harder to read... this posesses the hurt, confusion and disappointment visible in those same verses... and it's not the least unpleasant kind Yet this stuff happens... we get led on by our own preconseptions or missunderstanings or false conclusions that never get denied or confirmed... until of course it is too late... I will never understand what is it in that sick behavior that is so pleasurable... yet after you get hurt and possibly even destroyed... you still find it hard to hate... impossible even... you're imprisoned and you have the key... but still you must beg the one who owns the cage to unlock the door cause your hands are shaking and you can't even hit the lock... POET OF THE PERIOD ************************ * _______ * * | / /\ | * * |/ /__\ | * * |\ /____\ | * * | \ / \ | * * * ************************ ® (ma art is so lame) *LMAO* WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! *and the crowd goes wild* Uhmmm... other applaudings will be posted shortly (hopefully)... just to let everybody know I do read everything... and usually with some delay... and what I like won't go unnoticed... so keep up the good work... - -- Have fun and stay beautiful Dr. RomeAntic, an angel with the worst stroke of luck "I'm unclean, a libertine And every time you vent your spleen, I seem to lose the power of speech, Your slipping slowly from my reach. You grow me like an evergreen, You never see the lonely me at all I...Take the plan, spin it sideways. I...Fall. Without you, I'm Nothing.... Take the plan, spin it sideways. Without you, I'm nothing at all."

I think of you and all of a sudden, blissful things start to happen, even though I am the only one who seems to notice. Tiny bells ring in the distance, in the midst of violins playing a beautiful love song, the kind that are for some reason making sense to me now. I see wedding invitations saying "Karen and Tim" but in my mind's eye, I see "Courtney and Robert". I feel warm as though I had stepped into the sunshine, when I'm only standing by you. And suddenly the answer is so clear... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ yes, i have a new boyfriend, otherwise this would've been another angry poem. (tomorrow's our 1 month 1 week anniversary. :-)) love and luck always Courtney ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
