Did you know your pen name reminds me very much of one of my favorite characters in Anne McCaffrey’s “Crytal Singer” series? Her name is Killashandra Ree. You have some lovely poetry here.
Rett
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Some call me lazy, I prefer Energy Conservationist~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s P.C. speak by the way.

I’m finally getting around to answer you Rett. Thank you for your comment and I’ll have to read Anne McCaffrey’s “Crytal Singer” now won’t I?

Love.

Anna

One weak point of most of us; poets, is that we tell but not show. The poem Mango answers to this weakpoint and by merely reading it, one could really have a clear taste of Mango and not any Mango but specifically the one you were eating. I was suprised when I licked my lips after reading it.

Love and Respect.

Apparently the first sense we are really in tune with is our hunger/taste, our first cries are seeking milk from any nipple. The taste buds become fine-tuned depending on our *heritage*: who we are, where we live and how we have *educated* our tastes.

Love and Respect returned.

I shall be your friend.

Thank you. Friendship is the highest regard.

As time goes on the impacts and aspects that we experience will bring out results.
evaluating our friendship.

Your friend,
Patty

it’s difficult to respond correctly when you don’t know who you’re dealing with.

Respectfully, Tom

and your poetry and words will speak for themselves.
It’s all these links and references you’ve been posting that require some degree of scrutiny.
I think we should know who and what we are dealing with, so we can decide how or whether or not to respond at all.

Respectfully, Tom

Flooding this site with massive amounts of links deserves to be scrutinized.
Take off your mask, Zorro… or is this WeirdoElf?
You said “Take me or leave me”.
Until you reveal yourself, I’ll have to leave you.

Respectfully,

So be it..

And let it be known that no matter what, all you will ever have of me is an opinion…
that’s all we ever have of anyone….be it on line or in our homes.

We LIVE and DIE for our opinions. Now go in peace my friend.. I’m not about to
castigated for including information for discerning minds. And think not that you are not doing so.

Hi… Can v be friends…And I have added some poems in my blog… I would request You to read and give me feed back..

It is my privilage to have you as my friend. cheers.

Hey there, Lady!

I’ve added you to my buddy list and I hope you might wish to add me also! I’ve enjoyed your comments on my work and I hope to continue to please you!

Lonnie

Kailashana, There’s trouble posting comments going on. Maybe that’s one
of the good reasons I spend many nights reading my ‘signpost’.
Actually I’m very good with communication. Not everybody wants to
hear it. Truth, that is.
I’de like to read one of your lessons in clean, adult, poetry.
Thanks for enjoying….wcw

I´ve been meaning to catch up on your latest work, but I couldn´t decide where to start…You seem to have found a creative goldmine!

Catch you later,
~Nina

P.S. It´s time someone invented coffee-repelling screens and keyboards!

I just finished an immensely enjoyable little novel and ran across a quote I thought you might like: “‘love is a chain of love … when you can love one thing … you can love another, and that is owning, that is something to live with.” –The Grass Harp, Truman Capote

After reading your wonderful last post I thought I best look at your profile & more laughter of recognition, we would have to be kindred in some way (I guess most of us here are at that!).

Lovely to meet you Anna, I look forward to reading much more of your work.

I hope you are ok with me adding you as buddy so I can keep track easier… feel free to let me know directly if you post something you would like me to look at.. you know what I mean…
Cheers

Anni

“Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field.
I will meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about ideas, language, and even the phrase, “each other” doesn’t make any sense.”

witnessed and carried into silence. Maybe now I can listen and see more acutely and accurately.

I am staying up too late to write this short note. I will get a verbal comment in the morning. What a tender, aching style you have. I have now read ten to twenty of your poems. The first one, just by chance, that caught my eye was “Mortally Wounded”. Then, I was off to do something else and had to search to find it again. Then “love-junkie” and “How Others Do It”. Well, I am in awe given the quality of these poems and the hungery quantity of your writing. Indeed, your drive to write is the equal of any love-junkie-ism. I am new to neopoet, and despite being Canadian, a little apprehensive at all the “nice” comments floating around. And don’t think that I am not a little intimidated by the self awareness that must be available to someone who writes as much as you do and writes the poem, How Others Do It. Nevertheless, I will show a twinge of courage and say that there are poems in your stable that contain terrific colours - turns of phase - the kind one always wants to write, but they are sometimes blanched by neighbouring line(s) and begging for a re-write. Is this kind of comment to the most readable poet I have found on neopoet out of line. I shall await the spears and short swords of at least your defenders.

bjp

P.S. I have taken the liberty of adding you as a buddy.

It’s funny bjp, to make a long story short, after a cosmic awakening, so to speak, poetry reemerged… i have thousands in the past 4 years… most i have forgotten and when an editor writes to ask me to review for changes, I am surprised…. did I write that? Sometimes not in a good way….;-)

Nevertheless, sometime I will review my archive here if ever another book (my 2nd completed book is in limbo… financial issues for my local publisher). I once dreamed about having a co-conspirator… someone who will read my work and make suggestions for a rewrite for publication in a book form.

Between my work (as I am unfortunately, not the idle rich), takes time and energy, as of late…. and I am still blessed with writing and that is my *higher purpose* at the moment, taking precedence.

Perhaps someday after I’m gone, there will be 20 books (a la Bukowski, my hero!)
published posthumously.

But then again maybe not. And I, along with my poems will be annihilated in the cosmic drain.

Thank you for reading… I’ll take any suggestions… though (ask anyone here) I’m often loathe to implement them. (Mad laughter!)

Much love,
Anna

“The way you make love is the way God will be with you.” Rumi

no comment, just be happy - if you can’t be happy, be content.Remember, happiness is always found in retrospect (“we were happy then”) so enjoy life and keep writing those delicate, emotional, pictorial lines.

What beautiful beyond
is painted in your dust.
Through the earth’s fiery core,
through her stony chalice
you have been delivered,
parting web of transience’s measure.

Butterfly
all creatures’ good night!
Your wings carry
the weight of life and death
as you descend onto the rose
that is fading with the homewards ripening light.

What beautiful beyond
is painted in your dust.
What royal sign
in air’s secret.

You shine like nature’s art
the best
from north to south
and east to west
to us a butterfly so fine
as Anna Kailashana
thine oh Neopoets
watch this spot
she’s neither a comma (a butterfly too)
nor a dot
but words on words
so full of love
thrown to us in garlands
from above.

Love Anushka

Hugs, Anna

Thankyou for your comment. What a compliment! :) I’ve added you to my buddy list. I’m going to read your poetry and I’ll try to give my best critiques.

Just wanted to share the poem I wrote for you,I wanted to surprise you lol read it first, then decide if its any good no one else has read it …

with my love my heart Jayne x x x

You shine the stars
with the sight of your smile,
pilgrims will walk
a long many mile

To hear the stories
you speak with love
with a grasp on meaning
most only dream off

Setting yourself free
from all form,
you blow in the winds
and glitter the storm

You calm the oceans
with your touch,
and nothing ever
is too much

You sing concertos
through my mind,
within the words
you lay sublime

You crash my heart
into the rocks,
as darkness calls you
sometimes we flock

A glint of light
stolen from the skies,
graces the iris
to brighten your eyes

In tales of lore
and truth in light,
you bring me peace
throughout all nights

with love Jayne-Chloe x x x

Thank you for this sweetest gift….. paraphrasing the words of Bill & Ted (Excellent Adventure). “Be excellent to each another, and you always are.”

Now, my darling Lady Jayne, please gather the universal energy of healing love
and BE WELL. May your illness already have disappeared. THIS MOMENT.

Forever Love,
Anna

Huni I am just glad you liked it … its not edited yet but will do a full edit with a little help I have just received and put it in stream tomorrow night (huggles) you are loved beautiful lady more than you know

Love Jayne x x x

I wish, if you could read my short story and make your comments, so that it would be of immense help for me to improve my writing. Thank you. Albert.

Hi Anna,

I did add you as a buddy and didnt even bother to ask..how rude but i dont think you will mind.

I too have had all of my lifes questions answered (except 1 which is not terribly important at present). I once chewed on a spiritual question for ten years……got the answer though.

One of my favourite lines is from the Matrix - You sense that something is not quite right with the world ….like a splinter in your mind.

Thats how I felt until grabbed a bunch of keys and unlocked a few doors.

take care

Stuart (you nailed me on my profile comment….couldnt have written it better myself…shhh dont tell anyone lol)

Hello (:

Thank you for your comment.

As a worshipper of your poetry who only recently had the confidence to galvanise myself into action to say something (I may not be able to write a poem if anyone even thinks Diwali is bad… but I have my ways ;) ), I learned there is this thing called the buddy list.

Momma raised me polite, so I shall inquire if I may add you to my buddy list, and hasten to add that, good God, but it would make it a lot easier to keep finding your latest additions ;)

(Seek is a technological idiot. Is all.)

Sincerely,

-Seek

(Anything extremely odd may be attributed to my quirky sense of humor (: )

To all my fellow poets who have written words of love on my page, I say thank you.

I say, I am glad to meet you once again…

Love and Light,
Anna

“…when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it.”

~ Buddha

Anna, I’ve been a Zendividual for much of my adult life.
It’s one of the reasons I am not more financially set up.
I feel silly to blow my own horn, or put myself above others.
Still, I am a seeker, and I put my learning into my work.
Therefor, I invite you to find any and all words of love,
either obvious or implied, in my poetry.
Know that they are for you, and people who try hard to partake
of the great principle of one.wcw

Hey, liking very much your dandelion–makes me think of Carl Sagan and Cosmos…

:-,?

Just getting my house in order … putting things where they should be

For my Annamomma (huggles)

Until the battle recedes
no more
and the earth has tilted
beyond its axis,
when the wind
gusts to appall
as in ancient
history,
forgotten

I shall remember,

As a muniment
of minutes
broke,
the sheath of silk
covering my id,
unveiled the majesty
and wonder,
ambrosia
energy flowing
in neon tubes

Revealed
in the pain
and suffering
an atom of joy,

You

All my Love always Jaughter mwah x x x

Dear Kailashana I would very much like to be buddies with you, I very much admire your work, and how prolific you are. My two favourites are (if I have to pick a favourite) “Dawn” and “Snake” The mudgods cooking in the noonday sun and the glassbacked serpent in the verdigree. I am also a snake in the I-Ching so maybe this is another reason for loving this poem. But seriously you have a descriptive power which is beautiful and rare these days. Hope to hear from you soon Love Dalton.

Dear Kailashana that I think is the highest aim for any artist to create a religious experience within the heart of its reader. Thankyou for your praise it is especially significant coming from you. Someone with your gift. Love Dalton.

thank you for inviting me in.
xT

Wow your comment to wierd elf about his time poem blew me away, poem within a poem ; )

Pardonez-moi, but I forgot… what were we disagreeing about?

Fingers….then, it’s all about letting the *it* flow through the digits, yes?

~A

Don’t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart.

Goodnight Mum … thank you for everything … wont be round much today have the funeral in a few hours so I just wanted to thank you before bed and my email wouldnt load lol probably blew up

Jayne x x x

Sister soul! Feel embraced.

Yours,
