Re: If you want me again.........

If you are reading this thread, you should read the entire poem to get the true meaning.  A couple of lines of anything written, or spoken, takes it out of context so it is easily misinterpreted.

Isn't that the book Bill Clinton gave Monica Lewinsky?

I didn't like the way you were treated here recently. I felt bad for you. No one deserves to be vanquished from a forum in the way many attempted to do so to you.

 

I think you were probably crushed, but I also think you are very resilient, so as far as I am concerned, welcome back and carry on in your own special way.


Geez, what did I miss!

@blackhole99, nothing really.  Just drama.

Walt Whitman writes beautiful poetry.  From what I can tell, it was with no ill-intent.
