A number of new years resolutions planned in the tech dept. Have a good one! Silvia ********* Thank you Nicola, I'm always pleased to help ;-). I wish you merry Christmas to you too and a new year full of love, health and good luck! 15 Dec 2005 @ 18:04 by jstarrs : Hey, it sounds like... ...spring has sprung in the middle of winter! ;0) ********* I propose to let the spring shine throughout the whole year! :-) 16 Dec 2005 @ 00:48 by jmarc : one great quality of this network is it's poets. If we get one or two more, I think there would be enough to publish a New Civilization Poets Anthology. This one is nice and simple, a quality I admire. It's hard to believe english is your second language Silvia. ******* Thank you for your kind words, jmarc. I'm glad you like the poem. It's easier for me to write in Spanish because it's my mother tongue, but recently I've started to write in English and I enjoy it as well. 17 Dec 2005 @ 09:10 by jstarrs : Great idea, jmarc.. ...let's have a think about that. ******** Mmm, it could be a nice idea! Let's talk about it. 17 Dec 2005 @ 10:23 by vibrani : Sung by Peter, Paul & Mary Nice poem, again :-) Here's a song about lighting candles: Light One Candle By Peter Yarrow Light one candle for the Maccabee children With thanks that their light didn't die Light one candle for the pain they endured When their right to exist was denied Light one candle for the terrible sacrifice Justice and freedom demand But light one candle for the wisdom to know When the peacemaker's time is at hand Chorus: Don't let the light go out! It's lasted for so many years! Don't let the light go out! Let it shine through our love and our tears. Light one candle for the strength that we need To never become our own foe And light one candle for those who are suffering Pain we learned so long ago Light one candle for all we believe in That anger not tear us apart And light one candle to find us together With peace as the song in our hearts (Chorus) What is the memory that's valued so highly That we keep it alive in that flame? What's the commitment to those who have died That we cry out they've not died in vain? We have come this far always believing That justice would somehow prevail This is the burden, this is the promise This is why we will not fail! (Chorus) Don't let the light go out! Don't let the light go out! Don't let the light go out! ******** What a beautiful song, thank you Nora! 17 Dec 2005 @ 18:38 by judih : Anthology! So, the germ of the idea has been planted! Silvia, what do you think about collaborating on a group anthology? Who else writes? Katelyn? Any ideas, S? ********** I'd love to collaborate. There are many people who write here in NCN, we could do something beautiful together! 18 Dec 2005 @ 11:15 by jstarrs : Maybe create a workgroup to... ...look at how to go about doing an anthology? ********* That's sounds well! I think it's a good idea. And we could write about the new Anthology group in our newslogs, calling to other writers to join us. 18 Dec 2005 @ 17:09 by silviamar : So any volunteer to set up the Anthology group? There we could talk about it and see how we can start with the Anthology. And we should invite other NCN writers to join us, it sounds so wonderful, people from many countries joined by the Muse. Poetry of the world :-) 18 Dec 2005 @ 18:18 by judih : NCN World Poet Tree Sounds good. ****** Yes, it sounds well! I like the name! :-) 18 Dec 2005 @ 22:54 by jstarrs : Well, it's been created, NCN World Poet Tree or at least a place to discuss hoxw to go about getting it together. ******* Thank you for setting up the group, Jeff! *********************** Ok, maybe we'll be going 'live' any day now! lol! ******* Yes, yes, let's take off soon! :-) **************************** Damn, 'off' or 'on'? Language is a virus, maybe? But Poet Tree is just a process... let it OUT! ******** A poetic epidemic is approaching! 9 Feb 2006 @ 22:15 by Monica @80.141.154.222 : nice I like this one too. So pure and, let me think abou it.... inviting? ;) Hugs. Monica. ******** Thank you Monica!
