I had to put my name down. My other two posts didn't have my name at the bottom of the poems. Here is my edited version of "Cherished Moments" "Cherished Moments" The stage is filled with spotlights Millions of people are watching Very excited, very nervous Her name is announced She stands at the Center of the Stage Feeling proud Ready to Sing to Me Like an Angel ready to Spread its Wings Her Soothing Voice Touches my Heart Fills me with Peace Brings me Happiness And soars like a Shining Star across the Galaxy I clap, feeling Grateful With such wonder How this Incredible Singer came to be Her beautiful smile very touching A Moment forever Cherished!

I also have a second poem for Katharine! Enjoy. "Happy" You make me feel so happy Your voice Is like a Diamond with a Million Sparkles Reflecting upon me A beautiful White Light Shines upon you So Heavenly and Peaceful Chasing the Dark Clouds Away You have a Heart of Gold A Kindness to your Soul The Caring of others That Melts my Heart Away You make me feel so happy In more ways then one But one way to sum it up Is that you will always be Number One By:Aaron (Kat_time)

Dear Gary, After giving it some thought, I would like it if my poem is not included in this project (Phantom Emotion). I haven't been able to work on it, and it's not where it should be. I would have really liked to be included in this, but I don't feel my material is up to par (I wrote two other ones). Thanks for your advice though! Jasmine P.S. I LOVE those Steve.

The silence in this room is so loud...wow"--Kat McPhee, I Lost You "I didn't see the crash that burnt the bridge, didn't see the missile that sank my loveship down..."--Kat McPhee, Dangerous "Wanting you to be wanting me, no that ain't no way to be...You never were a friend of mine..."--Kat McPhee, Over It "No more lonely nights to hurt me, no more tears left to spare, no more reasons to be unhappy. You threw them all up in the air..."--Kat McPhee, Each Other "Your pedicure, white-tipped French. Your legs don't make no sense...Shoes like these make me hate flats..."--Kat McPhee, Open Toes

Shining Star Sometimes people would look up to you And want to reach out But they just can't, coz you're up there And they're far beyond from where you stand. Some would try to go where you are Just to catch a glimpse of you And just by the wave of your hand Is enough to make them smile. Some would save money To buy the magazines with your photo & story It’s like seeing you real close And it makes them happy. Some would write to you Though not very sure If the letter reaches your hands Or still waiting outside your door. It’s like you’re the star in the night Shining so bright It’s nice to look up and make a wish Though, it is out of reach. So they tend to go on wishing That one day you’ll take time To reach to them Even just for a while. So take time if you will You’ll see how it’ll make them feel. Show them that you care That our Shining Star is for real.

It is original, it is VERY good, and it is needed to balance other types of poems. Could you e-mail me at worksite@msn.com to discuss, or post your e-mail for me to write to you? Thanks much, Gary

By:Aaron (Kat_time) Hi Aaron, Thank you for these. I'd like to ask you something. I'm curious about your decision to now capitalize all those words for emphasis (earlier version below). What made you go in that direction? I'll admit that this is not my taste in poetry; I believe it distracts from the gentle message of the poem. Capital letters shout: Hey Look at Me, instead of allowing the poem to speak for itself. Of course, it is your decision and I'm open to learning why it works for you. Either way, your contribution is appreciated! Best, Gary "Cherished Moments" The stage is filled with spotlights Millions of people are watching Very excited, very nervous Her name is announced She stands at the center of the stage Feeling proud Ready to sing to us Like an angel ready to spread its wings Her soothing voice melts all hearts Fills us with peace Brings us happiness And soars like a shining star across the galaxy We clap, feeling greatful With such wonder How this incredible singer came to be Her beautiful smile very touching A moment forever cherished

Thanks much, Gary Here's my e-mail address: nsync777@bellsouth.net Here's the poem again, so you don't have to search for it. As you can see, I have been unable to work on those points you directed me on (aside from the italics): Phantom Emotion “I am almost ready” Memories denied that were forever there Lend reason to that uncounted-for emotion That specter of ill-feeling Her nightmare has lost its roots And so she dangles We witness the ghost of past struggle Shrivel its optimistic host “I no longer believe” So time rests As she is forced to recover Yet finds nothing Save that artificial savior Refuge within the self “Dreams are gospel,” she says “Words are pointless…” “Reliance on others is futile…” So emotional guards once constricted Are deemed unmovable But intrudes a voice Watch as it seeps in unnoticed Pierces the fragile, the unbeknownst confusion Hear it complete that process rushed And save a life “It is done” Voice of invisible substance, mystic effect Fills a void for the lonely A balm for shallow healing I’ve felt it soar below my barrier of grief And force a lost heart to confront fears forgotten The aftermath that followed the ghost of mourning These things take time But I am no longer alone But isn't it past the deadline now?

Katharine Hope McPhee Always makes you smile or shed tears of joy whenever she performs Touches your heart everytime she sings Has so much talent, beauty, and sweetness in her A beautiful smile that touches you Rising star Is my American Idol and no one can change that Never lets her fans down Ever so proud to call myself a Katharine McPhee fan - I hope its not too late to submit the poem ( I'm not good at writing poems I hope its ok.), - -Melissa

To Katharine An Original Poem Written by Mattsie Katharine, oh how I love that name Angel, singer, an actress of fame To you I sing a song from my heart Hear my cry, I loved you from the start A beautiful face, seen in my dream Rising, you in mind smiling with gleam Into the day I'd listen to you I can't go wrong, will never be blue No one as sweet, beautiful as you Endless love I offer, ever true. (I'd like to submit another poem before the deadline. I'm KatPack #1372. Thanks. ---Mattsie)

Movie actors like Paul Newman, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall and Bette Davis make me want to live in the era they lived but I could have been just as inspired even now while I watch their work in films.

You Are The Rose You are the rose, the rose that grows outside my window. Everyday looking out watching you grow. So beautiful but firm and well planted on the ground. Some may protest that your thorns are too sharp, but its just a misconception. Your thorns are you. They are part of you and everything you do. They are part of your stem that grows everyday. Your thorns are natural and elegant, but do not give in easily. If you want it you have to work to get it. As you work your way up the rose, from the roots moving up through the stem your thorns maybe misleading, but when you get to the top true beauty unfolds in every single petal. You are amazing. Your are beautiful.You are gracious. You are the rose. BY:Gabriel Lopez(Katharinemylove) Katpack Member #1342

decided to pop into this thread and to my amazement full of many talented people. weasie, as Simon would say upon reading this, "you're good." thoroughly enjoyed it, the humor added a smile to this dully day at the office. great job.

See I was on the verge of breaking down Sometimes the silence can seem so loud There are miracles in life I must achieve But first it's got to start inside of me. "I Believe I Can Fly, Spread My Wings and Fly Away"

To One and All: Poems submitted today will be included in the project. I will try to get a mod to close the thread late tonight. If you are still planning to post a poem, do so as soon as possible. Don't wait until the last second. We have a lot of submissions, but will try to accomodate everyone. Thanks, Gary
