| How did I ever manage to miss this one, Armariel? Oh, but as I always love your poetry, this is beautiful and fills my heart. I miss your writing so! | |

| Sorry it took me so long to find this: I haven't been on in awhile. Thank you so much for writing this! :) As usual, you have a breath-taking use of words. I just love the water imagery: there's something so pure and mystical and almost sacred about it. Light and water, as Sam might say. I especially love these lines: So sweep your mind of all doubt and in the firelit chamber of the night lie still and listen, you will hear my voice as a streamlet through the clouds and in the mystic pool of dreams I'll serve you answers on silver plates. *sigh* I can almost hear his answers through your gentle words. Thank you so much! Blessings, Eruanna Author Reply: Thank YOU for inspiring it! Glad to see you back, was afraid RL (Real Life) was maybe dealing you a bad hand. Yes, I am rather partial to water imagery myself, I use it a lot if you've noticed *g* Womb symbol, some would say. Maybe, I don't know. I don't think much about symbols when I write, I just go with the flow (whoa, there it is again, lol) I like light imagery as well, have an idea about the stars in my head at the moment, but it's still pretty vague. I did write my poem for the week, but it had nothing to do with LotR. Maybe later on this week my Tolkien muse will come back! Again, thanks bunches for reviewing! cheers Armariel~~~{~@ | |

| I don't think so..... and thanks. She promised me that she wouldn't ever read anything with a higher rating than PG, so I'll bet she's happy you didn't up the rating. Who said anything about her admiring me??? *giggle* I'm sure she'll be reading this so I'd better not say anything that would make her trash my room. But then again, she probably will anyway... | |

| What if I told you that my little sister, who is 10, goes to this site all the time and that I strongly suspect that that was who Anonymous LotR Lover was? Author Reply: Well, if that's her, then she's gotta be pretty sharp for her age! and you are lucky to have a younger sister who admires you, that seems to be a rarity nowadays *wink* I don't think I've posted anything really harmful for a very young person, at least....have I? | |

| I was just wondering....... why is this rated PG?? Author Reply: Well, the entire collection is rated PG, since some poems contain rather disturbing themes, and I don't see a way to rate them individually, so to be on the safe side, you have the PG rating. I told myself at least one or two of them should be a PG-13, but since I seriously doubt anybody under the age of 13 is reading these, I'm not gonna worry too much about it...lol | |

| I call! I call, dear sister. But Inspiration comes when she pleases, you cannot force her to give of herself. Yet now, what can this be named, other than the gift of Inspiration herself? For she is truly the mother of my child, not I. I care for, and nurture, and love and provide for my child, but the one who gave him life is the sister of our queen. Did you know? The mother of Inspiration is the lady called Dream, which all of us posess, from the young toddler, aspiring to be great, and famous, to the old and aged, that have dreams for their grandbabies, dreams of a bright, hopeful, sunny future. Author Reply: There you see, I knew it I knew that you could do it if you set your mind to it and decided to get through it and didn't just say "screw it" even if others pooh-pooh it or even misconstrue it with jaded eye to view it but you will never rue it or tell yourself "I blew it" just with your soul imbue it however you intuit just get down and DO it! Yessss precioussss, we CAN makes nice rhymeses....heheh Pssst--look what Anonymous LotR Fan said! Somebody besides me does like your stuff...;) | |

| My son ... I cannot see him, for I am blinded with a mother's love. Is he beautiful? Or does he look like all the other youths that Imagination sees. Maybe it is so that he is not so very fair outwardly, but has the inward beauty that only children of the servants of Imagination can produce? I love him so much, so very, very much, I would gladly give him a younger sister or brother. But only when the sister of Imagination, who is Inspiration, sees fit shall I have another child to pick flowers for my hair and give me kisses sweet. Author Reply: All children bear the blossoms of beauty in the eyes of those who love and cultivate them, whether or not the rest of the world sees anything but bare limbs and uninteresting leaves through the roseate cloud. And think not that Inspiration is a capricious wench who comes and goes as she pleases-- she is shy, needs courting, nurturing, tenderness and devotion bread and roses and will come if called from the core of a patient and listening heart. | |
