An amazingly talented writer -- especially in one so young. And a fellow Taurus!

Haha Paul!
Granted: but the top won't come off and the only way to get it open is to break it.
I wish I could get great cell phone reception everywhere.

Baryshnikov in a backpack. So light on his feet. And a wonderful friend.

This is how I feel:
For "serious" poetry, what I crave is to have someone put words together in ways I have never experienced. It never ceases to amaze me when I find that in an author, and I view that talent with a kind of awe. With serious poetry, it is more the word placement than the poem as a whole that I appreciate. And it only works with poetry or very short stories. When an entire work is that intense, it is almost exhausting to read.
I also love to laugh. With humor, I don't have the yearning that I do with serious work. With humor, I just want to enjoy and laugh. When something is funny, I don't analyze like I do with serious work, I merely view it as something "funny," although there are works of humor that go beyond funny into brilliance.

Thank you all for weighing in - I enjoyed reading the views posted here. For me, most of the things that I have written over the years involve my playing with an idea of something that occurred, but I would never characterize the works as documenting real life experiences. My one poem, "Adolescence" was really written in high school, and, at the time, I had all the feelings stated in the poem. When I started exploring this site, I went through my old files and came across a couple of poems I thought might be fun to post. I posted "Adolescence" and gave it that title because, to me, it really sounded like a passionate high-schooler (which, of course, I was!).
