wow oh wow thank you so much Steve I can not believe this.
I am looking forward to receiving poetry from friends on here and yourself.
Do you know someone asked me in all the world what would I wish for before I died. I said my poetry in a book for my family and grandchildren to remember me by.
You have full filled my life wish I feel humbled but most grateful thankyou.

Taz do not know how you are confused.

Steve is a poet of long standing on here. He decided to do a book with some of cs poetry members in. I feel humbled truly that he picked some of mine but it will also feel so good to have a book with some members poetry in regardless if I was in or not.
It was a lifelong wish of mine to see some of my poetry in a book to save for memories for my family and wow it has happened.

Awesome, very inspiring and stimulating! Thank you!

Found this pertinent quote about how grateful I feel: "Gratitude is the music of the heart, when its chords are swept by the breeze of kindness." (author unknown}

I am not a long standing member of this place nor do I even regard my poems as good but, by the love of god, this humble man my friend asked me if I would like my work published in his book!
Wow! I cannot explain in words, its now here and real.

I was looking for it in Google but not the right place. . . its straight in amazon
and I will get a copy when I am settle down.

I am half way preparing the exodus from my place of work but at least a very good news indeed!

from my heart and soul. . . thank you
Mr. Stephen Curtis

Morgen I have been out for a walk only way to bring my feet back down to earth

at it where.
My book arrives tomorrow and for sure it will eventualy be in my bookcase with the rest of you

I can just see us crammed in the bookcase altogether. Now that would be a site.

RedexNorthumberland, England UKMar 2, 2014

mariki I could imagine you in m bookcase too

well done you too

marikiaTbilisi, GeorgiaMar 2, 2014

Dear Redex, I could imagine your poems in my copy of the book tucked cozily in my bookcase. The book is arriving in several days, so I am very excited to find my dear poets in my embrace. Thank you, dear poetess, for your enthusiasm. Kindest regards!

RHS

yes I saw your name too my copy should arrive tomorrow. The bestest part is a fulfilled wish, and further to that have been off on this site for number of years and feel comfortable and made friends as it were, some

who have helped me and some poems and poets I have been introduced too to further me onwards. I have just received a copy of Siddhartha reading so far very interesting. It is a very good day indeed thanks to a very modest man.

Congratulations Steve...what a neat idea...I like what Redex said...after all we've spent a number of years in this corner together...and though will never all meet in person...it's a lovely idea to have something to remind us of the times we've spent like you said: "Together Through Life"...

Angel04gympie, Queensland AustraliaMar 2, 2014
