| Board Name | Title | MYKU | Date Written |
| Redemption | RE: saved | Without knowing and speaking the Logos of The Good, which forceably gives structure to the Chaos in which our being swims, We could do nothing but splash about, making movement without meaning, no shores to see, bereft of the necessary language that forms all that which claims to be. | 2/18/2010 |
| Redemption | RE: RE: RE: saved | Why are so many people so completely unaware of the assumptions that undergird their worldviews? Life's most important foundation blocks must be believed apriori, laid upon not so much as a cloud, unreachable by reason, moved only by the love or fear instilled in one's heart by mama's tender care or lack thereof. |

| Soft Landing | RE: Falling:The sensual reception | I surrounded your leaning torso with gently tensed arms and while balancing your chin on my chest we recovered to our feet amid awkward stares - while I savored the umph of your exhaled air - and slid my hands the length of your long, lithe arms, my initIal pulses of adrenaline persisting even after my surprise catch. |

| The passion of lovers | RE: RE: RE: Sweetheart | With a tap of teeth and giggles we conviened our first tingly embrace only to return again together with the speed of squarrels hugging and tugging, groping and griping breathing each, the other's warm breaths as they seeped from our pressed lips circling and nibbling, slobbering and savoring every drip of joy. |

| American Life in Poetry | American Life in Poetry | Senators filabustering to a halt a piece of legislation that some minority holds dear dare not relent lest their will to power be mowed down like a marine's run at a machine gun from the boat to the beach of Normandy. Those bloody amber waves of grain! |

| stigall | RE: Honeybunless | Ballerinas bouncing about the stage, speaking a language that has to be seen to be understood, envelop their audience in Beauty's sweetness like the rolled dough of a honey bun - less the goo. |

| Vinegar | quillin | RE: Sweet & Sour Speech | deadly poison spreads easily as the heart bares its soul that flapping little monster that even warriors can't control Life and death both rest on its tip and before we consider we often slip Wise is the man who can discern & know the words inside before they spill and flow. |

| I beg your words | katepoet | RE: candles for tragedy | She remembers a beautiful boy, a joyful baby in her arms, unending trust and love were his gifts to her - he was delight; inconceivably, he is gone now, she feels only her empty arms, the place by her heart where he will always belong. |
