Lovely story, great character

Posted on Thu, 20 Feb 2020

Thank you Drew, this is the sad part of loving a pet. They just don't have the longevity we do, but I don't regret the days we've had. He's the best dog ever, and for me and my family, it's been a pleasure sharing our days with him.

Posted on Sun, 29 Dec 2019

You really need to chapter these and make a book – I know so many who’d feel connected to these stories, as I do - for once again, you are writing part of my diary...just like Keansbury, NJ- I too have been to the Elmwood Theatre, and it holds a...

I could feel the forest

Posted on Sun, 13 Oct 2019

I could feel the forest around me and it was a peaceful walk along with you. I too love deers though there are none where I live now and I wish we did not hunt these and other animals as we do, though I understand in times of old it was necessary...

Adorable, the tempo and beat

Posted on Sat, 05 Oct 2019

Adorable, the tempo and beat of this sounded like a nursery rhyme. I loved it and could see it with illustrations on a page in a children's book of poems.

Life and all of its misery,

I love a rainy day when all

Posted on Sun, 22 Sep 2019

I love a rainy day when all things are renewed with the drenching. Your poetic descriptions accurately painted a grey, yet still colorful, walk in the rain and I enjoyed walking it with you. I felt the sadness in your words at the memory of lost...
