Shalom, my friend! Welcome to DA. I love your avatar! I hope you're having fun with this community. I have been a resident here for almost a year and I'm still going strong. Thanks for visiting my gallery and for the favorite on my ByronID. I was so moved by your poem to Byron. Most people who haven't studied his life have no idea of his deepest desire and ambition for heroism and glory. All they know about him was that he was a poet and a womanizer. But those of us who love him know that he was so much more and how much he struggled.

Thank you for the warm welcome! I am having a lot of fun so far. I see a lot of possibilities here. I'm glad you liked the Byron poem. Byron has always held a special place in my heart. Its sad that he is as misunderstood today as he was during his own lifetime. Way back when I first came on-line (in 1997) I ran a LB themed website (at the time there weren't any Byron sites to speak of, so I made my own). Its been off-line for several years now. I have all the files still, but never seem to have the time to put the pieces back together. Maybe someday.
For many years when I travelled I always carried two books with me: a Bible and a small collection of Byron's poems. To this day I keep a portrait of him near my desk for inspiration.
My, but I do babble on, don't I? *L* Again, thank you for the visit and the kind words about my poem.
We want to know what love means to you!
Get your creative juices flowing and design a movie poster for "Paper Heart" that focuses on the theme "What Does Love Mean to Me?".
The butter legion- a socialist movement/mass colab project I started, to trigger artistic change and evolution in Da artists (mainly my watchers), to make them more active and dedicated on DA. Now 170 people strong and growing... A "dangerous cult"? a "new religion"? "artistic version of fight club" or "communist movement"? You decide!
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
