Calling All Poets for God
Wanted: Poets for Heavenletters. Experience appreciated but not necessarily required. Previous poets include Daisy and Mike, who are always welcome back at any time. Hello, Daisy, if you're there.
As posts have been thin lately, we are accepting poet-toddlers above 3 yrs. of age, if they are off the milk bottle. As Gloria once said, in a quote falsely attributed to her, "if we accept just anybody, even 2 yr. olds will come to write..." So 3 yrs. and up, no compromises please.
Payment is made to the soul of the writers and readers.
Examples of intros to previous poems include:
"I want my mommy...", by "Boo-boo"
"Whuinty shrimantoui exepouty..." by Xinthyb (content edited due to poor spelling and mention of religious topics).
As you can see mostly anybody can write, even guys like markw who sometimes seems to have a knack for stirring up the pot a little bit. (To help understand the two previous writings of his concerning notes, read comments on "Turn Your Prisons Into Marriots". For additional info, the exiting finale will be found in the comment section of "Duly Noted", where everyone finally understands everyone else and are now hoping to buy a condominium so that all us poets can live and breathe together. "I like to breathe in after Mike breathes out so that I can catch his breath and then I start to think like him a little more..." :)
Readers on this site are please asked to condescend to markw's humor. It can be irritating, but it is not meant to be. You will have a lot more fun if you read his idiocy in the spirit is it given. As Laughter once said to Laughter, "let us create that space where we can spread ourselves thick and thin." And earth was born.
This ad was paid for by the Support Mike and Daisy Foundation.
Comment Section: OK, here's the deal. I'll put a little comment or note in at the very last part of a writing if I'm kinda thinking I need to do so. It will be our little secret, don't let Gloria know I'm doing this! (See comments on "Duly Noted".) But it will be in this separate section so it won't ruin the writing. In other words, you will know what's here and you won't need to read it if the writing is understood in the way it is meant. Here is where I can put in all kinds of political and religious references because Gloria probably won't be reading this section. JUST KIDDING EVERYBODY!!! (I really need a smily face here, I'll settle for :)
As a side note, I wanted to get the missing part II of "The Unforgivable..." to you to read. Humoriel, while scuba diving off the sunken coast of Atlantis (he found it in his bathtub) found the missing part II by a seashell, bought it to the surface, but was immediately faced with pirates :( The pirates weren't interested in the gold on board (he was sailing on the S.S. Minnow, you remember, from Gilligan's Island.) He was threatened with intense tickling and so gave up the manuscripts. Can't blame him. They were written with hieroglyphics (sp?) so they were very valuable. Last I heard they were sold to the Smithsonian Institute, a government-history museum in the U.S.
Love to all poets, readers, and all who think maybe I got upset by any comments made about notes I made. WE NEED EACHOTHER'S INPUT, I do not mind at all. markw
That markw guy is kinda
That markw guy is kinda wierd but funny. Looks like his smily faces came through after all. I think Gloria needs to pay him more. markw
Yeah I know what you mean,
Yeah I know what you mean, he's always stirring up the pot too. markw
Sometimes I wish he would
Sometimes I wish he would use explanatory notes and then sometimes I don't. He's not very good with them sometimes.
Smooches to all of you! Love, markw
Mark, dearest, are you
Mark, dearest, are you trying to run fhe forum all by yourself ? :?
It took me quite a time to understand that the posting as well as the replies were yours, ..... age tells ! Huh:
You will make me feel completey useless if you go on being fully autosufficient !! :Criying:
Love and blessings :wub: :p
Berit
Delightful! However, Mark
Delightful!
However, Mark couldn't fool us!!!
Mark, how do you use your creative energy when you are not writing poetry or making us laugh?
Yes Mark, I too would like
Yes Mark, I too would like to know that !! It must be really entertaining for those who surround you ! :big
A part from that, now I say, I'm really most curious to see your next posting !!!! :p
Love and hugs to you dear !! :wub:
Berit
See, Berit, writing comments
See, Berit, writing comments to my own writings helps in a number of ways. It is kind of like if you are a star in a movie, and then in order to pump up the box office receipts and make your movie look good, you go to the theatre and but a few hundered tickets at a time.
Gloria, if you met me somewhere you would have to be with me an incredibly long time before you suspected I am markw. I am usually just a normal guy, even sub-normal quite often. But I get on heavenletters, put my cape on in the phone booth like Superman, and I transform into a god-child for a bit. I might have had you fooled into thinking that I am something without my kryptonite, which for now is this site unto you god-given. So I rarely use my talents elsewhere for now. Remember my occasional notes Gloria, in real life I can be much more like them than you might think.
Oh, Berit, actually you discovered my secret. I am actually going to try to run all of heavenletters. That way I can put myself on staff and pay myself. Love to the sisters of God...and the brothers too. markw
Mark, dearest, I know and I
Mark, dearest, I know and I already knew your movie is fantastic !!!!! :thumbup:
Pls, let us have your talents at full range ! Make a cross-country with your talents dear Mark and let us taste them fully ! 8)
Love and divine blessings to you dear :blushing:
Berit
Berit, being of spirit, dost
Berit, being of spirit, dost thou temptest me? :big What would Mother Gloria and Father Mike think? Tsk, tsk, or whisk, whisk to a cross-country bliss? (Sorry, I had to think of something that rhymed with whisk.) markw
I think he meant emotional
I think he meant emotional bliss. What do you think? markw
Yeah, the prosecutors were
Yeah, the prosecutors were going to go after him for using that word. But markw's lawyers said "the rhyme is more important than the crime, don't make him do no time." markw
Hahahahahahahahahaha I have
Hahahahahahahahahaha I have been laughing to myself all through this insane conversation! Or monologue, as it would be more accurately described as :D
*giggle giggle giggle*
Oh no, now peopla are
Oh no, now peopla are laughing at me. I must call my therapist, Dr. Haha. :big markw
Hi Mark, I know your'e only
Hi Mark, I know your'e only having a little fun at me, I don't mind really anyhow i have just got back from holiday with my parents , so have not been posting... To get back to hear husband made redundant yesterday, so please forgive for not writing very often. Changes in the future for me and family well we will wait and see.I do feel i have to say something here about humour i can laugh and have a joke too, but not when something is unkind and is making fun of and at other peoples expense..It may seem funny but some people have feelings.... Luv Daisy
Beloved Daisy, Mark's
Beloved Daisy, Mark's writing had nothing whatsoever to do with you. What Mark wrote was with a good heart. In fact, he was being a good sport about my request to him! The people who post here are only kind and loving. And we missed you.
Hi reading this through
Hi reading this through second time around. It kinda caught me off guard at a low point so please forgive, if i got the wrong end of the stick.I often do this gets me in trouble a lot you think i would learn by now.... It was just how i read at the time. Mark thanks for the kind comments and know you mean well dear one... I certainly missed each and everyone of you to... I am not sure how often i will be able to make postings. I love each one of you.
Love you dear, I hope to
Love you dear, I hope to read further postings from your sweet heart !! A dear hug !
Love
Berit
Hey Berit, hope you didn't
Hey Berit, hope you didn't take a certain blissful comment above in the wrong way. Mark is a good boy, aren't you Mark? Mark?
The blissful love of God to you,
markw
Mark dear, don't worry, I
Mark dear, don't worry, I didn't take anything the wrong way. I know you are good boy, darling!
I think I'd love to read the article which you mention below. If you like you can send me a private mail.... I leave it you. You certainly aroused my interest.
Love and blessings to you dear !!
Berit
Berit, I'm sorry but I
Berit, I'm sorry but I should hold to Gloria's wishes, and apply them to everyone equally I think. The writing may cause problems which are better perhaps avoided. Love, markw
Daisy, I really don't
Daisy, I really don't remember what particular remarks you made about my notes. There were too many comments to remember them all. But it wouldn't matter if I did. The same goes for everyone. Even if I don't today agree necessarily with every letter and every comma, every comment made by everyone, it has helped me to understand a few things about how I should write, hasn't it? Of course it has. But the thing is, it is just better for me to agree with everyone, on a certain higher level, because this way I can learn more from everyone. When I disagree too strongly I shut myself down from learning. It is better to be a little unknowing about these things. Who knows, one day I might completely agree with some comment someone made, and then at that day you might not agree completely that your comment was exactly correct in every way. Was there something to forgive and forget? I don't remember. I forgot before I forgave and I forgave before I forgot. But there was nothing to forgive. How can someone's opinion be something to forgive? Sharing opinions is part of a healthy relationship. It would be unhealthy, unwhole, and unwise if we felt that we had to stifle ourselves about everything. Everyone that has commented are in a sense my teachers. I am making fun of myself also, aren't I? I am such a slow learner that in one writing I only know how to make notes! D'oh, Homer Simpson, please rescue me! :big markw
Gloria, I have been having
Gloria, I have been having some things going on here so I was hoping you might post a comment and I could respond.
I believe I will be posting something on another site (it really, really doesn't belong here at all). I think perhaps my writing on this site was partly meant to help me learn to write this other article. This other article has been, what 15 years in the making? Something very important to me. I could not have written this other article properly without learning some important do's and don'ts on this site.
If you and Daisy and Mike hadn't spoken up, I could not have written this other correctly.
I have tried to write more poetry, etc. here on this site, but the words aren't coming in a way that I like. Perhaps I have one more poem for this site...I know the topic but the words I do not. I can only write if the words come. As I say, I think these writings I gave here were to help me learn how to write this other article.
The other writing I will do is an extremely, extremely sobering one, a very, very serious one, and you would not recognize me as the writer just by comparing it to my heavenletter writings. I am not even sure how or even if I should let the heavenletter readers very very easily know where to find this writing when (if) it gets posted. I would like some to know where to find it, but others would be somewhat upset by its content, because, as I say, it is not the markw you have known. Anyway Time runs from me, I must address this more tomorrow if you comment on this comment. Love to all, especially those who have commented, markw
Dear Mark, I'm in a time
Dear Mark, I'm in a time crunch, dear. I want to respond to you. Will have to do it later. Stick around.
God bless you!
With love, Gloria
Mark, life is so
Mark, life is so interesting. Very nice that you feel benefited from our input.
Do you feel that your article is inappropriate for this Spiritual Community Forum? I think you don't need to be concerned about how people take things so long as your article is appropriate for this forum.
Did you mean to say that if your poetry isn't coming out the way you want, you would leave? I'm not sure what you're saying, dear.
Please know, Mark, that you can be here for more than your poetry. To benefit the rest of us, for example. There are so many things and people here you could respond to, and so many hearts you would uplift.
Berit made a beautiful post today in which she said we don't always know how much a word or a smile from someone can mean.
We would be happy for you to stay and sad for you to leave. But you must follow your heart.
My heart is fully with this forum. Regrettably, I have to post less because there are other matters I have to attend to and I haven't been spending the time on them that I need to. There are great people here who generously take care of the forum and see that it keeps going. I will definitely read every post. I wouldn't miss one for anything. It's just that I will have to do less responding. Please know I will be enjoying every post and smiling.
With love and blessings,
Gloria
Hi Mark, and Gloria, I would
Hi Mark, and Gloria, I would like to say that I truly can say how much i have learnt from all who take part in this forum you have all taught me so much about myself and about life, and understanding
other people. I love each one. Sometimes my writing does not always come out as i mean it to... but to each of you and especially Gloria and Mark I respect you both and love you all to...
I don't want anyone to give up on writing or anyone who can write poetry or stories or indeed has any talent they should stick with it. Keep going to be creative because these are the talents that God has given to us and we should use them... not waste them or put them aside because then no one benefits... I am talking from personal experience here.
I certainly know that God is in the midst of us and looking down as we post when we can,
For life's circumstances change for us all, but heavenletters links us all together. I am happy to see Mark and truly grateful for everyone here I consider to be friends at Heavenletters, think about and pray for each one of you....
So to be sure i will be posting when i can It has been a priveledge to meet, to share our writings and poetry together and hope there are many happy times to come... Luv Karen.
How can I not reply to this
How can I not reply to this remarkable post! Karen, it is so beautiful how open you are and and really willing to let go of the past and grow. You are an inspiration to us all.
Hi Daisy-flower, it was an
Hi Daisy-flower, it was an oversight of mine that I wrote nothing in response to your writing about your husband. It sounds like something that has you in a mood that will hopefully be erased by better news. Multitudes of loves, markw
First of all Gloria, I can
First of all Gloria, I can not leave, in the sense that since your heavenletters inspire, I continue reading.
The other thing is that for the 1st time, a week or 2 ago, I tried to write a poem. It just didn't work. But near the end of the poem, SM asked me, in the poem, "of all the spiritual things I had learned, which beliefs, which spiritual types of exersizes, etc. had helped me the most".
And I realized the purpose of that failed poem. Because Failure has been, in every way, in every sense of the word, my best teacher. It has helped me the most. Things prayed for but not received. Things I believed God would help me with, but such came out differently. Because every doctrine, every little spiritual exersize, has certain benefits, but failure has taught me the limits of all of these. God alone is limitless, and our doctrines and methods of contacting Our Beloved have their limits. I have learned what faith in God means by losing faith in everything else that I thought would speed me into God's arms. Because nothing can speed...His arms are already open, and I am already there. And such we all are.
So I was going to title my next poem,
"To the glory of God
and to the glory of Failure"
Because failure has made me what I am in every way, in every shape, in every color.
But again, the words to this poem just have not come.
The words to a poem about failure have just failed to come. A little ironic!
______________________________________________________
Oh Berit, oh Everyone, I do not know what to do about this other writing I have mentioned.
On the one hand, I feel like we are a little family. We share things. I don't want to hide from you this other writing.
On the other hand, this other writing is about things that would be too controversial for many to benefit thereby. Take the most controversial writing I have posted on this site, and multiply the controversy by what, 10, 20?
I only have this one writing for this other site I think. It is kind of up their alley...not controversial for them. They do a little "godwriting" in a sense, except they don't call it that.
I needed, on heavenletters, to learn how to write about those things we aren't supposed to write much about here...I needed to learn how to write about them in a nuetral way. So if all of you had not commented, I would not have learned how to write more nuetrally about this, and this other writing would have been tainted by my way of seeing things. God does not want taint in this other writing I have.
Perhaps I also needed to learn how to keep extra, unnecessary words out of this other writing, like some of my notes right? So your comments helped me to spot what an unnecessary note or comment "felt" like. It feels "dead" a little bit. You, I think Gloria, probably understand. God wants things said a certain way, right? And in this other writing, I think God wanted to get the clutter out. So God sent me yonder to here, to learn how to unclutter the message.
This other site is more along the lines of a christian "charismatic" site. It is not new age, but on the other hand there is a certain set of writings there that are definitely uplifting, and this is a side of mystical Christianity that many are not aware of.
Perhaps, Gloria, if you think it better to have me list this site, people can get a feel for whether they like it or not. If they don't like the site, they probably won't like my writing there. But I have to let you understand Gloria, my writing is about the future...of politics, and to a small degree, the future of religion. It is not about keeping the vibes high, do you understand? It will be like reading the newspaper, in reverse, in time. Ah, now you see the perplexity of it all. I want to guard those who will not benefit from this writing, and would rather not have them see it. Others will benefit, and these are the people who should read it.
BUT IT WILL UPSET SOME. It is not intentional. It is just what I felt needed to be wrote.
To the glory of failure, as I have been kissed by it. Love, markw
Mark, u could easily, as far
Mark, u could easily, as far as i can see, write novels if u wish it be...unlike me, who has the attention span more like a cat, ur like the energizer bunny that keeps going and going, all the while pulling it all together in a harmonic flow...i love what u say about failure...ahhh but better to "fail" and learn as u have than not to try but then again that can be it's own learning experience as well...for fear of failure or success, i so often remain where i am...and maybe this is so because (and now i'm being controversial) in my last life(which i "spun right around from and therefore have the soul memory far more alive and vibrant than if i would have, let's say, taken a well deserved vaction") i sought to change the world so much in an external way that change's true meaning became distorted...so maybe it's a bit for me about being in the now so to not repeat past "mistakes" and also cause i'm just like a shaking child, out and out afraid....but again, i love what u say about failure and how it's ironic that u've "failed" to find the words...maybe those are the words...maybe , or maybe not, it's a very short writing that say's "I've failed to find my words but like in life, it's not about what comes out as much as starting within, or that what comes out is so much more true as we come first from within, or that whatever comes about, as seen with the Eye of Love, is Perfect in it's own right...mike:)
Many cats are loved by their
Many cats are loved by their "owners" more than some people are loved, as the cat has no judgements. So in this you are our good cat. Perhaps I could learn a little of catness...Meow!
I got things a little jumbled and responded to your novel comments below, just wanted to make sure you saw it in what I wrote to Gloria. Ruff, ruff, markw
Dear One, you offer some
Dear One, you offer some great insights here. If you go to the Godwriting blog www.godwriting.org, you will see Mike's questions to God and God's answers. (This is not OUR Mike but a different one!) What you wrote about failure really is needed as a comment on the blog. Of course, God says, as I remember, there is no such thing as failure. And you recognize the blessing of things turning out not exactly as we desired.
Mark, as the ogre warden here, I would say, yes, anything political doesn't belong here, and when in doubt, don't. We're all curious. Maybe it's the better part of valor to not send us there, dear. I think we all have enough upset in our lives, and we might as well avoid this one!
God bless you in your all your writing. I agree with Mike that you could write a novel!
Yes, Gloria, this may be the
Yes, Gloria, this may be the better choice. You are not the ogre, you are the princess. I want to be of benefit to those who could benefit by the writing but some will not benefit, quite the opposite, unfortunately...it is the power of misunderstood words. To say it would be intense reading for some would be to minimize. The failure poem is coming along, it's taking time though.
I think all the mike's are our mike's but we have a special one here. Love, markw
Actually I have started a novel but it won't be complete for many years I think. Not controversial...I'll let you know when. Love, markw
