Dear Saadia,

People post here, so I guess you do check your chatboard. I'm using this instead of comments or message cause I can insert links here without having to spell them out. Re: Your comment about Joel. I'm living through the end of his life, and I've been chronicling his decline since I took him into the hospital for the first operation back in 2004. Here is a link to the first 7 Cancerboy Diaries poems, through Nov. 2007. The Eighth and Ninth are here. (You might have read the 8th cause you commented on the entry on which I posted it. )

Joel isn't a literary or creative type, without a lot of friends, so I'm doing my best to create as much of an honest literary legacy as I can. He's in his brother's ha

Thanks for stopping by me' site! Great poetry here...  Pete

I noticed that you graduated from George Mason U.  Took a business trip to DC a few years back and simply loved the campus.  Must have been quite the learning experience.

I truly enjoy your site for its compelling content and eye-pleasing graphics. I'm in awe over your ability to weave meaningful depth into the fabric of your entertaining poetry.

In Saadia's World (the blog), style and substance live together in perfect harmony.

If you give me a hamburger today, I'll pay you back Tuesday!
