__ __ __ __ Back on board the sailboat, Theocrites had more to tell to the eagerly-listening White Dolphin. "Until recently, Trantea had plurality of leadership. The eight Archons held hereditary rank, but at least we didn't let only one man decide everything alone. The best man to...

I just retrieved this because I'm pleased with it. I'm sorry we lost LifeMaiden, the once-reliable member who pinned this topic before she lost her way. There was a time when she told me she had feelings for me. Paths not taken. I just hope she made it into Aslan's Country. I, meanwhile, am...

In case any regulars _haven't_ gotten the memo, EveningStar is _back_ and has hit the ground running! Wood Nymph and I are cheerfully getting involved with a revival of the Byron-on-Wells premise.

You have my true appreciation for contributing to my efforts to cheer up my genuinely beloved Geralyn.

Nonetheless, for this fanboy, the presence of mega-hottie Traci Lords compensates for any flaws in HER Barsoom film.

Thinking back to the live action LWW: the gallant centaur Oreius was the best non-book character ever seen in the movies.

For those who have only read the Chronicles and not the Space Trilogy, "H'NAU" is Malacandran {Martian} for "sapient beings."

MASTER BADGER GOT AHEAD OF ME! HE SHOWED FREE VERSE DONE >>WELL!<< NOW I'LL SHOW YOU THE AMATEURISH TYPE: Drops are dripping. Drips are dropping. \\ WATER IS WET! Wet, wet, moist, soaking, cold, yuck, ugh. \\ Did I hear a splash? Maybe I did; or did the splash hear me? \\ I want my...

I'm still here, and hope _you're_ back long term. I've heard of the novel "Castle of Otranto."

We interrupt this collection of love-motivated sonnets for a haiku, _also_ motivated by love of Geralyn Rodgers. If you're not familiar with Japanese haiku, all you need to know is their one requirement: SYLLABLES, 5-7-5. I'm reminding God: I buried two wives before. Please let Geri...

Fourth Sonnet for Geralyn will try a whole new rhyme scheme; try to keep up. I spoke to her today by mobile phone. Hope also spoke with her, exchanging news. We heard about the chemo she infused; I promised I would help her fight the blues. She tried to keep distress out of her tone...

THE METER OF A SONNET FORBIDS TWO ACCENTED SYLLABLES FROM BEING NEXT TO EACH OTHER. IF YOU SAY MY DISTANT SWEETHEART'S FULL NAME, YOU'LL NOTICE THE RHYTHM DA-DA-DUM, DA-DUM. SO I'LL PLAY A TRICK WITH HER NAME. ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' My...

"SIR WILFRID AND REBECCA" by Joseph "Copperfox" Ravitts {long A in my last name} In the courtyard of a castle stood a Jewish maid, Rebecca, accused of working sorceries from Hell. All the witnesses were liars, and the judges all were bigots; they hated her for being a child of...

It appears that almost all of Mister Kessler's writing which is of interest to me is in the book "LIFE IS LOVE." Now I propose to try translating, from a cold start, a poem included in the aforesaid book, without consulting a SLOVAR {=dictionary}. Note that Kessler describes "party line"...

_Keep_ watching this space. I will soon be ready to do something here.

Dang! Here I'm telling about widely separated periods in a history of acoustic Christian music. Remarkably, this parallels a real- world experience revolving around one special woman. Geralyn, already saluted by poems of mine, was in my life as a pal when my first wife Mary was living. Decades...

CHAPTER TWO On his second morning of trekking, Ilya cut himself a suitable sapling. Durable though he was, there was something to be said for a walking stick. It would be inefficient to march with his weapons in his direct grasp; carrying the bow would hinder getting the axe into play, and...

There are, of course, multiple versions of the tale of how Ilya Ivanovich became Sir Ilya Muromets. Naturally, the Soviet cinema, despite having no problem with magical monsters, wanted no part of >GOD< getting glory for curing the cripple. Instead, the movie showed a herbalist doing the job. I...

Geralyn lives in Florida now, so I have no chance to meet her, but I communicate long distance. If you remember former forum participant Sculpted Thought, real name Salem Barker, he is an an authority on holistic medicine; I'm trying to persuade Geralyn to give that option a try. What can she...

Chief? Since I last messaged you, I've had cause to conclude that LifeMaiden passed away. Now I have a prayer request for someone else NOT to die. This is a woman about whom I've told EveningStar and Pholus the Centaur. Her name is Geralyn R0gers, and I've known her for most of my adult life...
