I took notice right away when I saw your poetry & prose -- But I didn't know at the time that you were ONLY 16 yrs. old!!! -- *yikes*

I'm not saying @ 16 ONE couldn't be astute & prolific -- But your writings seemed ageless & timeless -- Polished & precious -- From a mature point of view and verbage.

What can I say -- I had to adopt you! -- *smiles* -- (MY LIL' SIS)

Tho I ain't much in the critiquing department -- And I can't help a lot with areas of improvement -- (Which is why I solicited assistance from mindful) -- I still felt my encouragement & praise would help you blossom so that by 18 years of age -- I should be READING your signed & personally autographed poetry books! -- *smiles*

Continue to grow & blossom, soulchild -- Those on this board will continue to water, shed rays of sunshine & fertilize your mind with love -- Always!
